Looking to sell my blue metallic 2003 325i w/ 116k miles on it (~$36k msrp when new). Been a great car but unfortunately it is time to sell it and get a family car with a little one on the way. It's in great shape, with all routine oil changes and tune ups done. No accidents and only one small defect to body underneath grill in an unnoticeable location. 1 owner w/ mostly highway miles. Avg. mpg since owning it has been 25.7 mpg. Leather, premium package, cold weather package. Just installed new window regulators in 2008 and put on new tires in late summer 2007. I'll be taking some pictures over the next week if anyone is interested and am willing to sell it at a nice discount to KBB ($9k) since trading it in only gets me $6-$7k. Located in New England. Take care. |

Purchased a 2006xit wagon with premium package, sport package and cold weather package with 34,000 mi for $27,500. This is a CPO 0.9% financing for 60 months. BMW to make first two months payments. We still have not taken delivery due to the fact one of the heated washers for the headlights was damaged during detailing and the part needed to be ordered...sounds a bit fishy. There are so few of these vehicles out there..just trying to make sure we didn't get ripped off too bad before taking delivery. If the dealer keeps giving us the runaround can we say no to the deal? No money down and no trade involved. Thanks for any input. |

I understand about the -5 F in the garage. My son is in Rochester, MN, and he hasn't felt like crawling under his cars since Thanksgiving!

Replying to: lemmer (Jan 16, 2009 6:34 am) Agreed. When I bought my '87 back in 1999, the clutch was the one big ticket item I was worried about. I asked the shop I sometimes use what the price would be to replace it and they said (can't remember exactly) $750 or $950. Since I was getting a good deal on the car, I said "hey, i can live with that". So, given that that was almost 10 years ago, and the fact that my '87 is probably easier to work on than the newer models (just guessing here), $1400 doesn't sound too bad. |
