Replying to: etj (Aug 16, 2008 1:09 pm) The answer you get, will determine the answer to your first question. If auction values are quite a bit lower than your buyout, then your dealer can purchase your car for less than you can... This should translate into a discount for you... Another member did this a few years ago, and ended up getting his car, with CPO warranty attached for the same price as the buyout on his lease. His post is HERE. Good luck! kyfdx |

I have a '04 Z4 3.0i that is CPO. Factory warranty ended this past May but I have CPO until 2010. There is a leak somewhere in the trunk where water is getting in. I brought it to the dealer last April while it was still in the factory warranty and they replaced a brake light seal claiming it was the reason for the leak. I haven't really parked my car in the rain since then until a few weeks ago. My trunk is still leaking, so I brought my car back to the dealership in Bellevue, WA (Seattle area) and they had the car for 2 days but couldn't find the problem after spraying the car with a hose and a pressure washer. They told me they speculate it would be the drain holes under the roof, but they can't be sure until they look at it. It's not covered under warranty, and will cost $755! WTF. To make matters worse, they said that my service record from April doesn't state why I brought the car in, so it's another reason why the leak won't be covered retroactively. Can someone tell me some good news here on how I can get this fixed? This whole situation seems BS. |

Hi- Hoping I can get some quick help, as just learned about the run flat tire concerns and just found this website early this morning. Bought a 2007 BMW 328i with 14,5 miles on it. Should I buy the Extended Maint (1895) and/or the Millenium T&W (tire/windshielf door ding) plan (995)? WAs not planning to, but after reading about expensive repairs and need to change tires more frequently than I thought, am now wondering...(I know I should have researched this better before buying, but I do not have much personal car buying experience) Any quick advice would be much appreciated, as need to go back in just a few hours  and resign some papers (was there late last nite). Thanks!

I would not buy the Millennium a&W. Instead I will put that money in a bank since most folks will tell you that the parts likely to break apart are the one not cover by the warranty.

Replying to: dujox (Sep 01, 2008 6:19 pm) (1) I have 2 new tires on car - the rear ones - and the fronts have about 50% life according to the dealership, (2) I was told that the dealership never repairs, and only replaces the tires, (3) the high cost of the required tires (224 on one website someone referred me to, and even more if bought at the dealership) (4) reading so much online about how the tires often have to be replaced after just 12-15,000 miles, and last (5) they re doing lots of road repairs in my commuting/driving areas I did ask if they could do anything about the price, and at least got it down $100 (better than nothing...although I had no idea that sales tax would be charged on price!) What is your experience with run flat tires? And, why do you recommend trying to get the Extended Maint warranty? Becuase BMW labor and parts costs are so high? I was hoping that with an 'almost new' car like this, I wouldn;t have to worry about much in terms of maint or repair costs within the next 5 years... Interested in hearing more... as I apparently have a lot more to learn (and the dealer did not have an owner's manual to give me yet!) Thanks

on whether you're buying or selling. Buying extended maintenance is a dumb idea, but selling it makes money. These things aren't a charity. Are you feeling unlucky? Really, really unlucky? Then buy the thing. |
