Does this sound too goodto be true? Any help appreciated.

cyman83 · 01-18-2011, 09:16 PM

it does sound pretty cheap, get a mechanic to check it out before you buy.

ChasVS · 01-18-2011, 09:25 PM

Good deal. Not too cheap or expensive. CPO makes it a great deal. If you don't buy it, I just might.

Steve1155 · 01-19-2011, 01:54 PM

other have expressed that they felt the price was too cheap. Im using this basis to decide if I will pursue further interest in this car. Any opinion would help with my decision. Thx.

07E92TT · 01-19-2011, 02:04 PM

if its CPO from a dealer you should be fine. Link?

blacknbean · 01-19-2011, 02:17 PM

its a tarp! jk..good deal..go for it. especially if its CPO from BMW lot

XieJin · 01-19-2011, 03:08 PM

Looking good!

Makes me mad my 325 here in sweden cost me 38k x_x oh well different salaries i guess

chucktang · 01-19-2011, 03:13 PM

am I missing something or has it not even been revealed yet whether this is a sedan or coupe? The coupe sells for a few thousand more...

Steve1155 · 01-19-2011, 03:17 PM

sedan. located in nashville TN. sorry

B3AST · 01-19-2011, 03:52 PM

If it's a CPO why bring it to 'another' mechanic? The CPO process is pretty rigorous and I don't think they would CPO a vehicle if they knew there were issues with the car that would cause them to have to spend money to fix it all of the time. I'm perplexed....

Kolyan2k · 01-19-2011, 03:57 PM

sounds good, but is it e92 or e90, 6-speed or auto ?

Is the price asking price or bottom line price?

gunsekun · 01-19-2011, 07:50 PM

No NAvi? kills the deal

Steve1155 · 01-19-2011, 08:38 PM

He offered me about $500 of since i'll have to travel to get it. Thats just the start with no negotiation. As far as Navi, its not a big deal for me.

ChasVS · 01-19-2011, 09:19 PM

Coupe or sedan?

tony20009 · 01-19-2011, 09:22 PM

It's a reasonable deal. As always try to get them to drop the price by a couple grand, but it's certainly not, by any means, the worst deal going. Also, with just 19K miles, you're in good position to have any issues you discover covered under the warranty.

Go get your car and enjoy.

(Apologies for the disconnectedness of the second sentence...I'm not going to fix it now that I've posted it.)

Since the car is going to be under the original warranty for some time, tell them to discount the CPO cost, you don't need it, see if they are willing to do it, if so by how much. Just a way to see how much meat they have on the bone. In the end if you still want the CPO just tell them you changed your mind.

Personally if the car history is clean, I would save the CPO cost. The major issue is the HPFP but it is covered to 120k miles already.

It's about right, see links below.

Steve1155 · 01-20-2011, 12:45 AM

Thanks a lot guys. Contacted my local BMW dealer and according to them the car has been in once for regular maintenance and once to replace the HPFP. Gonna call tomorrow and see what we can work out.

The history is not clean then.

Steve1155 · 01-22-2011, 04:58 PM

Vehicles price has dropped by $1,000. Price is now $33,988. Also if the HPFP has failed once, does that necessarily mean that vehicle has a greater risk of it failing again, as opposed to a vehicle where the HPFP has not failed at all?
