#231 of 323 Re: Warranty on non-CPO [gardis] by roadburner Feb 02, 2009 (8:50 am)
Replying to: gardis (Feb 02, 2009 7:58 am) The standard BMW warranty runs for four years from the in-service date or 50,000 miles. The BMW CPO warranty extends coverage on most mager systems a further two years and 50,000 miles. Either warranty can be transferred at no additional cost.

#233 of 323 2007 BMW 530i Certified - Pricing by flyingdoc57 Feb 05, 2009 (4:03 pm)
I'm looking at a 2007 530i with 14000 miles at BMW dealership. It has the premium and sport packages, automatic (steptronic) transmission, as well as electric rear window shade and rear side window shades. No nav system. It's in superb condition, with new-car smell and all, and the CPO warranty is good through February of 2013, but I think the asking price is way to high. I sure would like some guidance. The car is in St. Petersburg, Florida. The dealership is asking $ 38,990.00. I'm thinking about offering $ 36,000.00. Any opinions?

Replying to: flyingdoc57 (Feb 05, 2009 4:03 pm) flyingdoc, I am also looking for a CPO 2007 530i, and I can tell you two cars I looked at: 1. 28K miles, sports, premium, cold, nav asking $34,900, dropped it to $32,900 and the car sold before I could get there with the deposit. Black/Black. Car was impeccable.Warranty to Oct2012. 2. White/Beige, premium, sports, no cold, 18K miles, went into service Apr08, which means warranty expires Apr 2014. Very unusual. They started $39,900, dropped it to $36,900, wouldn't negotiate, and the car sold. I'm kicking myself. Also impeccable.   Your price sounds very high to me. Tell them what you're willing to pay and be prepared to walk -- AND lose the vehicle. You can look on BMW USA website, search preowned, and get an idea of pricing.

#237 of 323 Buying a CPO BMW out of State by gardis Feb 07, 2009 (5:40 am)
Guys, I'm being offered a nice 2007 5 series out of state (60 miles from my house). Does anyone have any experiences buying out of state? What are the advantages, disadvantages. I would have to service the car at one of my local BMW dealers, no question. But if there's a problem with the vehicle, are they going to approach it the same way as a dealer who sold the car?   Please advise, I hate to pass up this opportunity. Also, do sales taxes apply if the car is bought out of state? Years ago, we use to go shopping in NYC because we didnt' have to pay sales tax. I doubt that's the case any longer.   Gardis Replies to this message: pat (Feb 07, 2009 2:54 pm)

As i've been reading most posts it seems not very many have bought a 535i. I've been looking to get an 08. Is there problems with them or is it just a model not everyone buys? Replies to this message: gardis (Feb 11, 2009 5:47 pm)
#240 of 323 Re: [addams] by gardis Feb 11, 2009 (5:47 pm)
Replying to: addams (Feb 11, 2009 6:13 am) That's true. I was looking at a beautiful 535i at Bridgeport CT dealer, 2008, had 28K miles on it, they started asking $42,995, then dropped now down to $38,995. Car looks impeccable, but as the salesman said to me, with two extra moving parts (the turbos) naturally there are more parts to have a problem with, as compared to the straight in line 6 cyl. engine. For me, that's just too high powered for me. I really don't know why BMW did that, given they have the 550 model also. That's why I'm going for a 2007 530i, I really don't want that huge engine.   Another reason you haven't seen too many CPO 535i, is because they just came out with that style in 2008, so the leases aren't coming back in yet.
