Thanks for your feedback. I am surprised about the wood trim. The M35 has just about be best reliability record of any car that I have seen on CR. I guess no car is 100% trouble free.

$12,000 off of MSRP. That is great. Is this the model with the NAV system? Also, can you tell me the name of the dealer and the city and state where the dealer is located.
Thx

i think you can do so much better. They will probably tell you they depreciate the car by how long its out, and not by mileage. Probably something like $500 a month or something. I think you are paying too much. I got a car m35 (msrp of $50180) with only 35 miles for $41250 OTD. So i know you can definitely get a better deal. just my two cents.

Alvin,
It's soo nice seeing the helped becoming the helping.
Tennnnn,
Alvin is right. Go to a blue book website, and run the retail/wholesale/private party value calculators with the stats of the vehicle in question. I would rub it in the dealer's face that the manager probably can't afford the gas in this vehicle as it drinks gas like it's going out of fashion and the dealerships can't afford to run these vehicles! LOL. I would go so far as to ask what the manager is driving RIGHT NOW. If it's a smaller, more economical car, then you know times are getting tougher for the dealer. I know, I know...it sounds arrogant, but sometimes you just have to be - especially when you are holding the money and they are holding the "rapidly-depreciating asset".

I took the liberty of running the numbers for you on KBB website and even with Tech Package and some verbatim items (Nav, single disc mp3, climate control seats, etc) at suggest retail value is $32225 excellent condition. It might vary due to location, but not by much. You should try and work it around number or be close to it. I just saved you 8k.. The dealer would just make pure profit off you with 40k driveout price, and they know the car is depreciating in value for every mile on that car, but why should you have to pay for their depreciation. I say stick it to them!

Not a good deal at all. I recently purchased that same color vehicle with the same options, brand new with 21 miles on it, and tinted windows for $39,700 drive-out. I'd stick with the advice from alvin and redline. They seem to be very knowledgeable and are providing some very good information.

39,700 drive out? Does this include taxes? Could you please tell me what dealer this is and location. The dealer here is Pittsburgh just does not seem to be offering these kind of deals. As I said in a previous post I would be willing do drive a long distance to get the kind of deals I am reading about here.

Just fyi, driveout generally reference all in price, which includes TTL. I got mine from Sewell, they still have a bunch of m35s in stock, i went to their storage garage and they have about 17 or 18 of them with good options and decent color schemes.

Wow, my local dealer says his best offer is $43+, including TTL and other fees. It's nice to have competition.
