#302 of 339 2007 530i by jwheel1 Aug 17, 2009 (7:53 pm)
Hi all,   I am looking at a 2007 530i CPO, 30K in miles, prem/nav/sports package. Dealer is firm at 34,300. Thoughts? good price? The car is very clean with the exception of the floor mats which I am sure can be easily replaced.
#303 of 339 recomendation for BMW mechanic in San Diego? by rsf525 Aug 18, 2009 (9:29 am)
My 2001 525 needs a 100,000 mile inspection/maintenance. Can anyone recommend a good (honest, fair) mechanic in the San Diego area?
#304 of 339 Pre-owned 2009 BMW 528i - with 1100 Miles by firstbmw_ga Aug 23, 2009 (5:53 am)
Hello,   My first post, and also looking to own my first BMW..   I have looked at a 2009 528i (1100 miles) with full factory warranty until May 2013. It has Premium and Cold Weather Packages, Comfort Access, Leather Power Seats with Memory and Lumbar, Sunroof, iPod and USB Adapter, Xenon Headlights, HomeLink.. This is with an independent dealer in GA, and asking for $39,500   Looking at Edmunds.com and other sources, price seems to be within in the range, and would like to get your opinion on what would be right price for this car.   Looks like this particular car was bought back by the BMW America, due to some minor glitch with the battery, they have replaced the battery, and everything seems to be fine.   What do you guys think ?   Appreciate your feedback !!

Replying to: firstbmw_ga (Aug 23, 2009 5:53 am) What do I think?   I think BMW isn't going to buy back a $50K car for a battery "glitch". There had to be something seriously wrong with that car.   I also wonder if the title has been "branded" as a manufacturer buyback. If it has, then the warranty may not be in effect. Sometimes they will do a program called "Trade Assist", because they don't have to brand the title. That preserves the warranty and the trade-in value down the road.. but I still wouldn't want it.   I'd be very nervous about dropping $40K on a car that has already demonstrated serious problems. You can buy a loaded up '08 with a CPO extended warranty from a BMW dealer for the same money.. Replies to this message: firstbmw_ga (Aug 23, 2009 5:57 pm)
#306 of 339 Is this a good price? by njldan Aug 23, 2009 (8:58 am)
Hi guys, I found a 2004 bmw 530i 60000miles asking for $16000 from a private seller. The cars condition looks great, loaded with navigation system. Is this a good deal? Replies to this message: andys120 (Aug 23, 2009 4:46 pm) shipo (Aug 24, 2009 1:53 am)

Replying to: njldan (Aug 23, 2009 8:58 am) I'm not conversant with 2004 values but '04 was the last year for the E39 which IMO is more of a real BMW than the gadget mobile E60. A lightly used one might be a good deal $16k. Replies to this message: shipo (Aug 24, 2009 1:53 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 23, 2009 7:17 am) Hi kyfdx,   Thanks for your input, much appreciated..   Is there any way to determine, what kind of issues got the BMW to buy back that vehicle ?   I'm certainly going to pass on this car.. (If it's too good to be true, then it probably is...)   Thanks, Sam.
#309 of 339 looking for E39 5 seies with low miles.. by kennyyu Aug 23, 2009 (6:08 pm)
hi folks, i,m consideing a 2003 530i with less than 20k miles..listed at 20k with sport premium nav, the works..i think 18k is fair even with this low miles. any thoughts? ... p.s. i hate the new body style that came out in 2004.

Replying to: andys120 (Aug 23, 2009 4:46 pm) I'm thinking that you missed the model year of the change over by one. The 2003 model year was the last of the E39, and 2004 was the begininning of the E60 run.   Best regards, Shipo
