Is this a good deal for a CPO in IL? by h2fan
Feb 05, 2006 (9:20 pm)
Reply
Hi,
 
I am looking at buying a CPO and saw this vehicle at a dealer:
 
2004 X5 3.0i SAV - Price: $39,000
 
Mileage: 17,490

Titanium Silver Metallic
Automatic
 
Premium Package
Cold Weather Package
Rear Climate Package
Xenon Headlights
 
I am completely new to BMW and CPO. Anything in particular I should look for? How do I negotiate on the CPO price? What would be a fare price for me to pay?
 
TIA

X5 3.0 Lease Buyout Question by mc24713

i'm looking to buyout my leased 2003 X5 3.0. my dealer is going make it certified pre-owned, package it with a 6 yr/100,000 mile warranty and sell me the car at $3000 over the residual value (for a total cost of $31,600) - is he charging me too much? do i have room to negotiate further on the price? if i buyout the lease at the residual value i won't have a warranty. the car has ~31,500 miles, NAV, premium package, cold weather package, automatic.

If your X5 only has 31,500 miles in three years, then you will still be in warranty for the next year, even if your dealer doesn't CPO it.
 
So, you are only really gaining about 2 yrs and 21K miles of warranty..
 
Also, be aware that unless you pay for an extension, the "free maintenance" plan will expire at 4yr/50K. That doesn't come with the CPO warranty.
 
Also.. the dealer may not be paying the same amount for your car as you would... He may be getting more than $3000 out of the deal.
 
Is it a good deal? Hard to say...
 
regards,
kyfdx

To build on what kyfdx said about what the dealer is paying for the car.... The residual lease-end value that you are quoted from BMWFS (pre-determined at beginning of the lease) is probably not the same as what they will buy the car for from BMWFS.
 
Since you are way under your miles, BMWFS will take this into account and it'll actually cost the dealer more to get a car with low miles. BMWFS uses average Manheim values to determine what the dealer can buy the car for. They adjust for miles, so they'll pay more for a low-mileage car and less for high-miles.
 
The one thing BMWFS does not adjust for is options.... So whether your car is a base car with manual transmission, leatherette or if it's loaded with sport pkg, navigation, it won't make a difference in the price the dealer buys it for from BMWFS.

thanks so much for the replies. i'm now comparing coverage from warrantydirect.com vs purchasing the CPO/warranty from bmw. it's about the same cost (~$3k) but provides 2 more years of coverage than bmw (coverage thru 2011 vs 2009) and covers wear & tear. is the CPO process worth going thru bmw? i've read good things about warrantydirect.com - anything to the contrary? the deciding factor may be that bmw is going to fix the 'excess wear and tear' on the body that they found during inspection (~$1500) which is included in the $3k.

He does have a point, but it doesn't sound like he expressed it very well. There are definitely a lot of people on here that brag about a particular deal they got that you know are embellishing the details. Most of the regulars on these boards established that a long time ago.... Regardless, that salesperson could have said it a little more tactfully.
