Am i getting a good deal?
I have been lurking here for a while, and it seems like a very helpful community so here goes.
OK it's on a 2008 model with these features:
MSRP Invoice National Base Price
$37,400 $34,410 $36,034
Optional Equipment$7,775 $7,130 $7,551
ZPP Premium PKG $3,350 $3,050 $3,246
609 Navigation $2,100 $1,910 $2,034
205 6-Speed ST $1,325 $1,260 $1,302
ZCW Cold Weather $600 $545 $581
6FL iPod and USB $400 $365 $388
Destination Charge $825 $825 $825
Total with Options $46,000 $42,365 $44,686

Now i got offered 44,600 and said i needed to think about it, Should i take it? gonna go back tomorrow, but i want to get the best deal possible.. How much over invoice should i be expecting to pay?

~1k over invoice max. Perhaps even less in this economic environment. Esp. for an 08.


Good luck!

I picked ours up for $500 over invoice 4 months or so ago and the only difference is the navi. Take your time and work them for awhile. Luxury cars are not moving as well now.

I agree.

For a 328 I wouldn't go much more than 500 over invoice if anything (Maybe $750, but thats max). It's not like you're shopping a 1-Series, X6, or even an 09' Model. There's no reason they should be charging that much for your 328xi.

$500-$750 over invoice or walk...

This is off topic, but I'm also in a similar situation as ginobili.

A dealer by me is offering a CPO vehicle that is almost exactly what I want, except it is a little more loaded than I need and has a different color interior trim than what I would ideally have wanted.

It's a 2007 328xi coupe, Jet Black with Saddle Brown leather, equipped with Auto Trans, Premium Package, and Cold Weather Package--maybe read sunshade too but I forget. It has about 4000-5000 miles and is listed at around $44K.

I checked Edmunds and for that specific CPO vehicle, I should expect to pay around $41K. For additional reference, I also looked up MSRP and invoice if I were to buy a brand new 2008 model with the same specs, and it came to MSRP: $44,950 INVOICE: $41,410, and TMV: $43,231.

If the TMV for a BRAND NEW 2008 is $43, am I wrong for thinking it's a little ridiculous that the dealership is selling a used 2007 model for $1,000 more?

Ha, yeah... but thats what dealers do. You should be able to get a new one for $1,000 over invoice easily, so it's kinda absurd to consider a CPO for the same price. (Only difference, is one has to be ordered and one is right there on the lot.)
