Replying to: blh (Feb 16, 2009 9:53 am) I picked up a used 07 530i last month in San Diego. I love the car and was back at the dealership the other day to pick up a manual. The lease manager (a friend of mine) told me that the car I obtained in december 08 was now going for approx 10% more at wholesale. His reasoning was that the economy has taken pressure off the new car market and switched many people to the used car market, thus increasing relative demand.... Not sure if this is true, but it may partial explain your experience. Good luck, John

That's the way it is, enjoy your car I'm happy for you, as you smile every time you get behind the wheel ! Cheers, Brian |

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a 2005-2007 5 Series. 530i is my preference,as the 525/8 is underpowered and 545/50 slurps gas and costs too much. I'm looking to keep the price to the low 30's and under, which should be no problem after looking at Autotrader. Earlier today I saw a 528i at a dealership that was equipped with the Sport Package. The seat was comfortable and supportive, more so than the standard one. I was most excited about the seat cushion extender though- I'm 6'2" and the longer cushion really made the seat more comfortable. I also saw (on bmwusa.com) a standalone option called Multicontour Seats. It sounded similar to the Sport seats, but I wasn't able to sit in a car equipped with multicontour seats so I couldn't compare them. My main questions are, what is the difference between Sport and Multicontour Seats? Which is more comfortable? Which would be cheaper and/or easier to find in a used 5? Thanks for your time!

How much should I offer for a 2007 530i CPO that has NAV, comfort access, parking control, prem pkg, and cold weather pkg - with 40k miles? The dealer is asking for $33k. Is the used car market really strong? i can't believe too many people are buying cars right now - new or used.

Replying to: ptchow (Mar 10, 2009 1:24 pm) http://www.newsweek.com/id/185461?GT1=43002 I believe you can get the price down by a maximum of 2000. I purchased a 07 530 with 16 k miles 2 months ago for around 30K The car has Prem Pkg , Steptronic , and satelite radio I recently talked to my salesman and he said the prices have gone up since I purchased and the CPO cars have been flying off the lots |
