guys, i just drove 2 hours to test drive a 2008 535XI, price talked down to $43k, final, wont go 42,500, do you think it is good deal or just normal?

4000 miles, with following options
navigation
rear fold seat
front heated seat

no sound system
no pdc

 

no one say anything, i guess it is fair price then, i think i will get it

 

how soon r u looking to get it? i have a friend who is dealer and can get you car at really good price about 5-7k off msrp.
probably same car for about mid 30 or at most 36/37k. if u r interested PM me and I will connect you with him.

That's very low mileage, certainly. Was it a loaner or something? I would be curious about why it's back on the lot. There was an 08 on Autotrader for around $38K recently. I don't remember the mileage, but as I recall it had more options. Depends a bit on whether you are willing to travel, and how comfortable you are buying a non-local car if that's what it takes. Another option is to find a dealer willing to watch for a good deal at the BMW auctions (among the lease returns).

 

Actually sounds a little steep, but the miles are low and if you're happy with it that's all that really matters. I would think high 30's would be more appropriate -- the MY 2010's are here.

 

So a 5er depreciates about 30% in the first year?

 

this car is in CT, actually i saw another in jersey, about same mileage but sold the week i wanted to test drive, little more options, 43k as well, i was thinking getting a new 2009 with 0.9% and first two months on bmw, but this 2008 still get me lower payment, and 3000 miles is still new

i also saw the 38k on autotrade, but the title is not clean, and i want white color, it really took me long time to make this decision

 

i think maybe because bmw have promotion for new car, like lower rate, so used car need to be lower in order for people to buy

 

I think you made a very good deal. Seems like a wise decision and you will get a lot of good use and enjoyment out of the car. Good luck.
