Default I may found a replacement! I need everyone's opinion

So I found a GT 5 series and I'm really interested in getting it. I just put a small deposit to hold it for a day or two now I just need help see make sure that it's a good deal so I figured I'd ask everyone here.

Used 2010 BMW 535i For Sale near Baltimore, MD - WBASN2C53AC200378

It has all the bells and whistles which I really like so with you guys approval I'm going to pull the trigger.

Looks like a nice car. But given the market softness for that model you should check the Kelly Blue Book value and Edmunds too. Might give you some negotiating leverage.

Kelley Blue Book

And I'm sure you already searched BMWNA's CPO inventory too - maybe not for shopping but to have as a basis for negotiation: http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/cpo/certified_pre_owned_model_inventory_search.aspx

Jayarras, I wish GT's did come in MT. I don't think they ever did.

Luigi, the price is surprisingly firm (the dealer sales person, his manager, and frankly the staff in WHOLE are attitude toting douche bags) he wont even throw in all weather mats. The upside is that the pricing on NADA and KKB show that there selling price is more than fair (pretty good).

And this car comes with CPO warranty (OEM warranty remainder + 50k/2yr)

Personally i don't like the body style of the GT's, but if you do ... Dealership attitudes aside, if the price is good and you like the car - go for it. I'm jealous of that ivory/black interior.

I have only ever bought one car that I did not fall instantly in love with. Somehow I convinced myself I would eventually fall for her. Well, as is the case in similar situations, I never did, and couldn't wait to get rid of her (the car).

So, if you love it - go for it. If you're not sure, then you probably don't (love it), and won't (now or ever). Just my thoughts.

Yeah, I'm not really too much of a fan of the bodystyle, but if you decide to chip it, that'll be one fast humpback whale!
