#1304 of 1467 Best BMW Dealer in Western North Carolina Area by rjslaydon Mar 11, 2007 (11:38 pm)
I will by purchasing (not leasing) a new BMW X3 for cash within the next month with an expected MSRP or around $47,000. Can anyone recommend the best BMW DEALER in the Western North Carolina area (Asheville) to get the lowest cash deal?   The closest BMW dealer is Fletcher Motors BMW, but there are many other dealers within a 200 mile radius, including dealers in Hickory, NC, Greenville, SC, Charlotte, NC, Greensboro, NC, etc. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Replying to: rjslaydon (Mar 11, 2007 11:38 pm) Although I always advocate honesty, even when dealing with car dealers, I'll suggest this to you: Don't make a big deal of "all cash." It won't help you get a better price. They make money on the loans, so disclosing that you have cut off that line of profit won't help you get the lowest price.   Enjoy the Ride!
#1306 of 1467 Am I getting a good deal? by nan2b Mar 21, 2007 (7:33 pm)
The dealer is offering 2006 BMW x3 for 34,995; certified used with extended warranty til 2012 or 100,000 miles. It has 13,800 miles on it already. What should I look out for? Dealer is selling several and has told me "hurry,purchase it, it won't last." A quick reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: nan2b (Mar 21, 2007 7:33 pm) In Dec. 2006 I purchased a 2006 X-3,Certified with 12,300 miles for $33,900 from BMW of Montgomery (AL.). The vehicle came with the premium package and heated seats. A word of caution, I have little faith in the certified inspection process that leads you to believe your vehicle is in excellent condition. The day I picked up my X-3 the low oil light came on and I reported it to the sales advisor. I was told the light was nothing and everything was fine. Forty-eight hours later the light came again on I 95 outside of Midway Ga.. I checked the oil and found it was down over a quart of oil. Remember this vehicle takes synthetic oil and it's near impossible to find at the typical gas/convenience store on an interstate. As it turns out an "O" ring above the oil pan had not seeded properly and caused the leak. You could see the oil stains all the way down the side of the oil pan and yet it was never identified during the certified inspection. I put 2 messages on the board if you want to research them. Forget the inspection and have the vehicle looked over carefully. See if they changed the oil and rotated the tires. That may tell you if vehicle received any service at all.

Replying to: fltfv (Mar 22, 2007 4:39 pm) Thank You so much for your answer which was extremely helpful. I noticed that the car has a deep scratch on the rear door jam and was told that it was nothing and that they would give me some touch up paint to cover it up. I didn't feel comfortable with that. If I do decide to purchase I will defintely have the vehicle looked over. Thanks again.
#1310 of 1467 bmw from small market - ugh!! by jjrm1 Mar 24, 2007 (12:32 pm)
Here is the offer I am getting from the only BMW dealer town!   Sales price of $44,320 $2000 over invoice 3 year lease (67% residual) using 3K down w/ 12K miles per year money factor of 0024 sales tax of 6.25% = $604.27 being your monthly amount. Does this seem reasonable?   By the way, none of the calculators seem to be generating this monthly payment. Has anyone used leaseguide.com's calculator?

Replying to: jjrm1 (Mar 24, 2007 12:32 pm) What is the MSRP? You can't calculate a lease without it..   From first reading, that deal doesn't look very good...
#1313 of 1467 Re: First Time Lease - 630 fico score [kyfdx] by suvcurious Apr 10, 2007 (8:38 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Mar 03, 2007 4:19 pm) Hi KYFDX! I finally heard back from the bureaus and my fico score went up to 662! But, yes, you're right with BMW you either pass/fail. I applied online and got approved for a lease. However, now I'm nervous to pull the trigger b/c everyone is telling me that leasing is a bad idea. Can I get your thoughts? Can I also get your input on what the current APRIL money factor lease rates are?   Thanks a bunch!
