Hi, Im looking to purchase either a new or preowned 335i in the Wa area.

Any dealerships or certain dealers you guys recommend? A referal would be sweet. Looking to put around 10 k down and maybe a trade in.

I know a few people here bought their 335i from Kero's Auto Brokers in Edmonds. Take a look at their inventory: http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dd...=null&address=

I hate Kero. Their sevice suck and mean. But the price they provide are really good. So I guess it balance out.

Yeah Homan told me the same thing.

What I like about keros is they offer extended warranty on all their Cpos without charging a premium or so i read... is 6 years 100 k any good?

Mark at BMW Seattle. end thread/

For used cars go to Kero's
For new cars go to a BMW of Seattle.

I checked Kero's when I was looking for a car. I think they've got an "F" grade at the Better Business Bureau. That was enough to make me look elsewhere.

BMW Seattle, ask for Mark

Dave Skipworth in Bellevue is a really good guy. I know Bellevue has a well deserved horrible reputation, but Dave is worth talking to.

That's unfortunate cause I really like their selection and prices.

I'm not saying you shouldn't check them out. Just be cautious. I actually did drop by their lot (after closing) and looked for some of the cars they were listing. They weren't on the lot. Sure, the salesmen could have driven them home or they were already sold. It just wasn't a good sign. That's when I looked them up on the BBB, saw their rating, and just decided to buy new.

To digress slightly, I recently had the OEM alarm installed on my car. Bellevue wanted something like $600 to install the alarm. Fife wanted $420 and Hahn's (in Yakima) charged something like $186. So I took a day off from work and took a drive to Yakima in the sunshine. Have others experienced the incredibly high prices for maintenance at BMW of Bellevue? Oh, and that was just a week or so after I bought my car from them. They weren't going to give me anything for purchasing a car from them. Their lot is such a cluster f*ck I'm almost afraid to drive in for fear of getting hit or hitting something. I may never go back there.

BTW, Hahn's only charged $80 for an oil change (synthetic of course) so I had that done too. They're too far to use regularly but I can see driving their for something major.

LOL I don't know what's going on with them. They must have the largest inventory in Bellevue. It's as big as Michael's Toyota at Eastgate, maybe the same amount of cars, but at least they organize them so that you can actually walk and take a look at the cars there. They have a dedicated parking space for visitors, unlike BMW of Bellevue. It's like do I park on the side of the road?

Thanks for the info on Hahn's! I live out in Mosses Lake so my only choice is Hahn's or the Spokane dealer. I do most of my own work but there may come a time when I have to use a dealer.
