Good Deal?

Looking into buying this 2015 335i which is listed at 38,950 but after some light negotiation i got them down to 36,500. Is this a good deal or should i try and go lower?

First of all I love that color combo and the car looks like its in good condition. 2015 means free maintenance, although I am not 100% its transferrable. 30k miles left on factory warranty is a plus, but you should check what the original delivery date was. If this was delivered in 2014, you might have only a little over a year left at the worst. Here's the rundown from kbb based on what I see on the site you linked and the location:

That looks like a good deal if you don't find any major issues with the car's condition!

I see those too, but not for M Sport and not as loaded. OP, if you are willing to give up M Sport and some options, you can pay a little more for the superb B58 engine. All the M Sport 340i I see on the used market are still in the $50k range.

Consider that once the 2018 redesign comes out the old style will take a drop in depreciation as F30 is now going to be the old style. Shop around online other dealers within your market or use sites like cars.com to search and see what other similar models have as the asking price to see if you are in the ballpark or not. Car dealerships typically make the same % profit margin on used cars that they do on new cars so don't be afraid to negotiate aggressively.

I got a dealer down to 37K for a similar option and same milage 2014 in August... So i think your doing ok- but the lower price is also becuase near end of year.

I backed out personally because id rather wait until the 340s start hitting the ceritfied used car lots

Probably a 55,000 car new or maybe a few bux more. I would go for it. A lot of miles for a 2015, I have like 28k and I got mine soon as they hit the market. Someone drove that puppy.

20K seems like a lot of miles. Be sure to check tread depth as if driven hard those performance tires could already need replacing.

If you are willing to budge on some options, deals are out there.

My new 2016 340i MSRP sticker was 57k, got it for 45k.
