#858 of 10312 negotiating certified pre-owned "sale" price by pbrett Nov 17, 2003 (7:54 am)
looking at 2000 Ci convertible 23k mi, Sports + Premium pack, HK sound, AT--dealer asking $32500. What do you think of price? Any experience negotiating "sale" prices on certified cars?
#859 of 10312 dealer experiences in new york area by sanman2 Nov 17, 2003 (8:42 am)
I am about to embark on my first ever bmw purchase. Does anyone have any information on which dealers in new york to try, and which to stay away from? Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

<<<<looking at 2000 Ci convertible 23k mi, Sports + Premium pack, HK sound, AT--dealer asking $32500. What do you think of price? Any experience negotiating "sale" prices on certified cars? >>>>>..   Seems like a lot of dough for a 2 year old car with 23k mi. I assume that's pre 3 yr 50k mi warranty too. Oh it's a conv.

Is this a 330 or 325? I looked at a 2001 325ci PP last week. The car had 36k on it and the dealer was asking $36,900. Their "bottom line" price was $32k and change. I decided to go for a new 325ci coupe. A few grand more but it's a brand- new car with covered scheduled maintenance and a full 4/50 warranty. If you read the fine print, the CPO warranty is not the same as the original warranty. I also live in Florida where convertibles are popular all year long, maybe in other areas the prices are more reasonable.
#862 of 10312 2003 235i by karenc88 Nov 25, 2003 (2:33 pm)
Thanks for those good advises posted here so I could be prepared before I went to the dealer. Just purchase my first white 325i at a not bad deal - $27500 + tax -- Auto, Moonroof, wood & matts (Sticker = $31,320 & Invoice = $28,775).   This was the whole experience I'd like to share.   I told the sales that I knew the $2000 incentive and I would pay $1500 below invoice.   Af the first beginning, the sales came out with a figure ($29200) + ($790 ad/admin fee) - $1500 and said that it's their invoice price. I of course didn't agree on the price.   The he deducted $790 and said that $29200. I insisted that the invoice price I got from carpoint was $28,775. He said I forgot to add destination, which was not right.   Fianlly I told him that if I couldn't get my price, I would go to other deal for new 2004 which was only above $500 invoice (I did get a quote at the price), then he finally came out $27500 with floor matts.   I think the deal OK though I understood from other members' post that the dealer and sales still earned a lot, yet, they needed to make living by earning $. Most important of all is that I purchased the car at the price that I could never had got if I haven't had read posts here. I already saved $!!   Thanks!!
#863 of 10312 $2000 incentive by delsonhung Nov 25, 2003 (9:43 pm)
Has the $2000 incentive been ended? I didn't see it mentioned.   karenc88: where are you at? Did you get 2003 or 2004?
#864 of 10312 2003 235i by karenc88 Nov 26, 2003 (9:02 pm)
I bought 2003 235i. I am in Ornage County, CA.   I saw some of the posts saying that $2000 incentive ended at the end of Nov.

I'll offer my experience and then maybe the host can chime in. I had been shopping all year and until October never could get anyone to go more than a couple hundred below MSRP. Bluegray, I believe that you and I got pretty much the same deal. If I did a tiny bit better I think it was just timing. The dealer had like 8 2003's and at that point the dealer incentive was 3000 off invoice on the 330's. They told me that someone had just turned the 2002 I bought in and paid over msrp for a 2004 5 series so they were pretty good on it?? Still you never know but it sounded good to me. Checking around though it seems in line as does your deal. Karen, I think you got the whole deal. it sounds like they tried to keep some back and may have still gotten a hundred or so that you could have talked them out of but it sounds to me that you got a great deal. I had heard that the incentive ended in November as well, but the only 2003's left that I can find are weird colors that I wouldn't want to own. BTW, so far I love driving this car. I had to spend another $1100 on snow tires which I hope will make it as enjoyable in the winter...Happy thanksgiving to all
#866 of 10312 Confused by 3-series Pricing by marks1970 Nov 27, 2003 (1:58 pm)
Hello all,   I am just in the very beginning stages of considering buying a new car, and one of the vehicles I'm considering is the 2004 325Ci coupe. The invoice for this car is (without options) $27,550 and MSRP of $30,100. For comparison, I got the blue book on a 2003 325Ci and it is $32,530. Why on earth is the used price $5,000 more than invoice and $2,000 more than MSRP of a new one? Is it not realistic to get a base 325Ci below $30K?   Thanks!
#867 of 10312 Another offer by sjmurray3 Nov 28, 2003 (8:59 am)
Offered Invoice minus incentive this morning for a 2003 325i - Dealer would not bite? I was hoping he would counter at $1500 under invoice, but not. I ended up walking out with the usual sales banter. Many 2004 3 series are on the lots!
