Newbie here, 2009 328i xDrive price check

chilled_fire · 04-16-2012, 01:55 PM

Hello all,

I am a newbie at this forum and to the BMW world.
I moved to the US 2 years back, and was using rental cars most of the time. Now planning to buy a car and what better car to buy than a BMW

I found this 2009 328xDrive with 40K millage (single owner) vehicle is maintained really nice and I have the carfax details. Though its not CPO, I am guessing that should not be a problem.
Asking is 23K . Is this a good price ?

Also my driving licence is pretty new here in US. Will that impact insuarance costs ?

Please advise ?

50+views , no comments

any ways, did some more research and looks like 23K is more for 40K miles car.
I guess going with CPO is better option cause it includes 2 years warranty. Do you guys agree ?
PLz advise ?

You can hassle down 1k or so, other then that that a good price considering some sells for 26k that are cpo but I always seen ye warranty expiring 1-2 years so it same in the end you can purchase the warranty afterwards, it has 40k miles which is allegeable for for extend warranty....

Thanks, I am also looking at CPO's around my area and I do see less than 30K millage, 2009 car for 25K to 26K.
So leaning toward CPO for now. Will keep searching

Ok after almost a weeks worth of research found this car.
2009 328xi CPO
25K milles
Cold package
Premium package
Carfax is clean with single owner.

I have got the dealer down from 26K to 25K and trying some more .
What do you guys think ?

Not bad considering xi

chilled_fire · 04-26-2012, 08:38 AM

Thanks I thought so. Let see how much can we get it down.

chilled_fire · 04-26-2012, 10:39 AM

OK , so the dealer came back and the he says the best he can do is 24.5K
Is this good, or should i negotiate more.

Plz note : i have not yet seen this car in person. And was only planning to test drive if the price is ok .

HTMBmw · 04-26-2012, 11:28 AM

If you actually took the time to test drive negotiate after, I mean if they took the time to wait for you to hop on the car, they willing to negotiate a little more

chilled_fire · 04-26-2012, 11:35 AM

^^^ good point.
Will try some more after the test drive.
