Is this a good price?

JJGriss · 01-31-2011, 12:58 PM

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a few months now as I've been shopping for my perfect first Bimmer. I think I found it. 2008 335i coupe, 6MT, Black Saphire Metallic, Coral Red Interior, Premium, Sport, Nav......$36k. Is it a little high priced?

I can't wait to contribute to this great forum!

JJGriss · 01-31-2011, 01:00 PM

So sorry! 23k miles!

Maybe... My lease is up on my 2008 335I Coupe, 6MT, Alpine White, Coral Red, Premium, Sport, Nav, Ipod/USB. 30k miles. The residual on my car is a little over $29k. Are you getting it from a dealer? I'm sure that would be their markup so they themselves can make some money.

JJGriss · 01-31-2011, 01:10 PM

Yes, from a dealer. All of my internet research says I should pay $34k from a dealer so that is what I'm shooting for.

OdomPHD · 01-31-2011, 01:14 PM

That's roughly correct. It's an average price for what you've listed the car has and its mileage. The only way you'll get a 335i cheaper than that price with those options (and still 2008) is if it had a wreck in the past or replacement parts etc.

I'd go for it. I dropped about that for mine and I say it's worth every dime. The only thing I recommend you do is what I regret not doing.... ask a local BMW dealer for a spin in a 335d (Diesel). The torque is unbelievable, and I mean it. But the 335 has pleased me beyond what I expected, and then some!

But whatever you do, under no circumstance should you visit a Lexus or Infiniti dealership and compare those cars to a German make, especially BMW. On these forums they'd shoot on on the spot.

JJGriss · 01-31-2011, 01:36 PM

Appreciate the feedback guys. I'll keep you posted on how I make out.

I think it is too high, the price should be closer if not under $30K
as one of posters noted his residual is $29K

Is that a CPO or not?
