I ultimately bought from Greenwich BMW from a saleslady that was honest and straightforward. When she gave me the price, I believed her. I love the car I got (CPO 2007 530i, loaded). I would try them. I used the BMW USA website and did a search on the vehicles within a 50 mile radius of my town in CT. That' s how I found mine.
Also found Bridgeport BMW very active, they move a lot of cars, give them a shot also. I have mine serviced at Darien BMW because I always used them and have a good relationship with the service tech. Good luck,

Actually, an interesting coincidence, nsoltz had suggested he found what he wanted at Pace (which is same group as Greenwich and just into NY) so I went to Greenwich first (closer to home in CT), found a helpful salesperson and got a reasonable, up-front price for the car that I was looking for. So I just bought it on the spot and picked it up last week.
The help I got from this Forum has been sensational. Thanks to all.
Hope you enjoy your 530i. That's a nice car!

It has the following:
25,835 miles, Cold Weather Package, Premium Package, Xenons, navigation system, automatic high beams and automatic transmission. It has extended warranty until end of 2013.
What is a good price to get this at? And is the extended maintenance plan worth it?
Thanks in advance!

My two cents worth. -- It is even later along now. My "guess" is that the mileage and time factor should be worth at least a couple thousand dollars off the quoted price, especially if you are willing to walk away if they do not meet your price. If you offer $30K all they can say is no and maybe you can split the difference and wind up at $32.5K. Yes, I like to haggle.
Tip: After you test drive, negotiate online and via e-mail. That really helped me. I went back in to the dealer only after they were very close to my offered price, but got to the end of the day face-to-face. Made the process smoother. Good luck and please post how things go.
For a vehicle such as you describe with 30k miles I would write a check for $32k today if it was CPO and met my requirements.
Good luck and remember not to feel under pressure, it's only a car and they ususlly want to sell as much as you want to buy.

The car is in great shape - no visible scratches. Interior in excellent condition.
Navigation, leather, cold weather, comfort, parking assist, heads-up display, Logic 7 sound, keyless ignition.
I'm looking to purchase a car ASAP so I'd really appreciate any input before making this purchase!
(my first car purchase so I'm a little nervous - gulp!)
The salesman we are working with was not at the dealership when I dropped by to check out the car so a service man allowed me to test drive the car. I'll be checking the service reports and getting a detailed car history tomorrow.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Seems like a good deal to me!
And enjoy!!!!
To be honest - the 26k miles is the only thing that is a concern to me... I checked the Norwood website and I believe the car with 18k miles for $37000 is a 528xi.
I was looking at a 535xi.
we looked at a 535 wagon a few years ago and it would have cost us over $60k.
so a 1-2 yr old sedan with just 26k miles (nothing for a modern car) is a steal.
This car is fun
Thanks for the help guys...

I'm used to driving around a 10 year old hand-me-down car. I'm not used to being careful when I park my car...
1) 2010 BMW 528xi, about $6k off MRSP of $56k
2) 2009 BMW 535xi, about $8k off MRSP of $60k
3) 2010 MB E350, about $4k off MRSP of $56k
I like the car E350 a little better. But in term of deal, BMW has better deal.
Did anyone buy such models recently?
Is anyone interested in buying one by this Sat (end of this month)? Maybe we can buy from the same dealer for better deal. I am in Washington, DC metro area.
So by your post you should try to negotiate E350.
Having said that you might want to look into 2010 BMW 550i here in Southern Cal they are going for 10K off MSRP (@carsdirect.com)
I never saw that model in the dealerships.
Thanks.
Thanks in advance. :confuse:
How much off of invoice should be a good price? How would you value such vehicles?
Also, one dealer also has a 2008 528xi CPO with 31,500 miles service date 12/13/07. Asking $33k. Opinion? :confuse:
Thank you for your responses.
I can't believe they are still "new" 2008s. They don't have alot of equipment other than the premium package and heated seats.
My thinking was they should be priced as "used" cars with the mileage bonus added. After all, after one year of use, they'll be a three year old car with about 15,000 miles.
There are others out there like this car listed on autotrader. I found this BMW dealer in Topeka, KS who also is a VW and Porsche dealer.
fyi - Relevant discussion of current financing incentives at bimmerfest forum. Changes for Feb.?
I personally wanted to get a bmw x6 since sometime now, after reading lots of reviews, I've been thinking hows the 5 series as an alternate? If I am correct it drives better a lot cheaper n people don't hate it like the x6.
Whats the best price for the 528i? And is it true that bmw has stopped making the current 5?
He also recommended I wait until the 2010 are marketed more heavily without waiting until supply dries up due to the 2011 model.
My question is at what point do you think I can get the selling price to be invoice or lower or to get my payments into the $750/mos range. (Invoice is $53,095). Will the new model kill the resid on this model so that all that happens is the price and residual go down....duh similar deal anyway.
Do I stay a month or two longer on my current lease and wait it out till the 2011 orders are being taken?
Thanks.
