Dealer is listing it at $32K which is way too much. I think this has been sitting on the lot for a while (it has been there for at least 1 1/2 months AFAIK). On TMV, I pull it up as $30.4K Certified, $28K Dealer Retail, $25.7K Private Pty, $23.3K Trade-In.
My wife likes the color. We don't need all the options in there, but it looks like it would suit us. We went to go look at a 2007 IS250 loaded with NAV and we got them down to $24K. Wondering if I can get close to the trade-in price here for a CPO BMW.
Interested in people's thoughts on this one. I live in Nor Cal.
Thanks,
Ryan
Yes.
Also is $500 over invoice a good deal or will they do it at invoice?
You should be able to work a deal at invoice.

Are you negotiating an "Invoice $+" deal? If so, then they'll charge you whatever is on their invoice... But, if you offered $35,XXX for their car, then there shouldn't be any fees added.

They also gave me $1000 more for my trade than a Mercedes dealer and 2 other BMW dealers were offering. It was one of 6 new 2008's they had and the only one with Sport AND Premium. The others have similar discounts at this time.
I love Terra leather.. plus, 300 hp is pretty cool, too...

It does have the paddle shifters though. I'm having trouble keeping the RPM's under 4500 for the break-in period...
Has anyone gotten any quotes on 335d below MSRP?
Does this sound too much? This will be our 1st BMW, and it seems going in the dealer with edmunds TMV doesn't help much. Also need to buy the car before this month ends also. We are in the NYC area.
Please help
But then, of course, if you have your heart set on a brand new car..:)
I just can't seem to find threads about purchasing/paid new '09s.
I am totally in a bind since I am racing against time now. :sick:
16k miles
Mine for $22,600 OTD
Still can't believe it! Fantastic Car!
If you buy a CPO 2008 you will save at least $10,000-$15,000 AND you will have a better warranty. And you could have a 335i instead of a 328i...

Curious to know where you live and what the sales tax rate was since you mentioned the price was OTD.
Enjoy the car.
Thanks,

Edmunds TMV suggested ~41k for the model (328xi AT,PP Cold weather NAV) in my area. So should my tactic be offering price between the MSRP and TMV? (i know the prices are before tax and other fees).
It is very discouraging having the dealer confidently saying they gave me a "discount" when it clearly seems a bit over. :sick:
I bought a 2007 335i sport, navi - saved about 18-19k from the vehicle's MSRP (got it for 26.5k including BMWCCA rebate). I couldn't find a 328i manual with sport for 22k-23k otherwise I would have gone for that.
1:
Internet only - do not go to a lot until the deal is ready
2:
Internet only - sorry had to repeat it. Going on the lot is a waste.
3:
Invoice minus any trunk money. If you have a BMWFS lease or loan, you've got a couple grand waiting for you. If you do not, then invoice. That's it. Invoice + maybe $100-400 (depending on how generous you feel).
4:
No mention of a trade-in
5:
Negotiate price AND check extra fees. Some scummy dealers tack on extras.
6.
Be prepared to walk away. They NEED you. You do not need them.
I did my last 2 BMWs and Mini via phone/internet. On my last BMW we showed up with the deal ready (they even had my info as I was that sure); drove the car; signed the papers; left the dealership in under 1 hour.
Salespeople are a waste of your time. Internet. TMV is a joke - aim much lower as TMV reflects what the average boob pays.

Hope i don't need to exercise #6 too often
I have to tack on 8.25% for mine The price of living in CA. (And for those of you buying a car in CA, if you wait until April 1, sales tax is going up by 1% :mad: )
Hope you enjoy the car. I think you got a great deal!

all for $47,800 and i am not getting a 328xi but a much more expensive 335xi.
You have to make sure you look at their wholesale value before you start negotiating the price with them. Especially at this time, THEY NEED YOU! don't pay more then you're suppose to. I am an accountant so you can pretty much imagine on how cheap can i get lol. well hope that helps!
Funny how things come around full circle. Back in '01 when the E46 330i first came out, people on the left side of the country were paying MSRP +. Used E36 328is coupes were commanding just a few thousand less than a new E46. Now BMW is offering cheap financing + 2 payments (new) & used twin turbo 3ers are screaming bargains.

roadburner - what do you mean when you say the warranty is better for a CPO vs. a new 2009? Are you referring to the additional 2 yrs of warranty on all CPOs, or something else? Just curious.
I am in the market to buy a new 2009 328i - enticed by the 0.9% and 2 month payment. Thanks to this forum, though, I've also now been shopping for 2006 325i's and 330i's with low mileage since BMW also has the 0.9% financing on these models. I've never bought a used car before - how do you derive what offer to make to the dealer? I know that for new cars, the goal is to get the dealer as close to invoice (less any incentives or rebates) for the best deal. With used cars, there's no invoice, correct? So should I be negotiating based on the Edmunds TMV or Kelly BB price? I'm just looking for help on how to figure out what the best price on a car should be.
For example, here's one of the 2 cars I'm looking at:
2006 330i
Prem Package, Sport Package, Auto, Xenon, Navigation, Satellite Radio, Logic 7 Sound System
15,796 miles
Asking price - $29,991
What would be a good price to buy this car at? (and how did you get to that number?)
Thanks for your help!
sjsharkie - did you buy the car? I'm curious what the final price was, as I found a similarly equipped '07 328i here in LA...

All BMW leases have an acquisition fee of $725, which the dealer may mark up for extra profit. The maximum markup is $200..
If it's not a lease, then no acquisition fee...

Advertising varies. MACO (to use the BMW term) is generally $250-$450 per vehicle.
You pay whatever you negotiate. If you agreed to "invoice + $XXX", then MACO is certainly on the dealer's invoice. If you lease, you have to pay the acquisition fee (or roll it into the payment).

Yes, I'm referring to the added age and mileage limits of the CPO warranty.
