I have now found two £ucking Bracknell cars at two dealers ideal spec ,one has 1800mls the other 3000mls ,Without doing numbers one is £31k the other £31500 , approx 2k off the new price after discounts and free options is it worth it do I just buy new ???????


My E90 325D AUTO in sparkling graphite has Black leather, Auto,Xenons,Tinted grey screen its Oct 2007 with 2008 spec paddle shift 12500miles they said they would give me Glasses guide i looked and made it £18600 they said £17 k


Any body have any views ?? does that sound fair or low TIA

For 2k I would buy new and get the new plate, depends if you don't mind waiting - bear in mind these are available now - will the trade in on yours still be the same after Sep 1st, as your delivery on a new one will be after then.

Last year there was a shortage of used stock around and some major discounting providing an incentive to buy new. When I bought my car, I think it was almost certainly cheaper to buy new.

Things have loosened up now, but 'nearly new' cars are still at inflated values. Unfortunately, the dealers control the stock and to a certain extent that means they also control pricing.

Are the prices you quote the sticker price? There may be some wiggle room in the deal? Especially as they are offering 'average' trade not 'excellent'.

We have three cars and can only drive two at any one time most of the time one is used

happy for the dealer to have the two bmws now and wait for the E92 ,I have been buying new cars since 84 and always feel mugged as I get older and wiser??? I ask more questions and want to feel looked after,

TBH I have so much going on at present I dont have the time and heart to argue with dealers ,What pisses me off is I asked them to make me there best offer ,then I will sit down and decide ,I have told them what I want colour and options the only room for movement is 325/330 either is fine

What they keep saying is have you had better, I dont want a dutch auction I told them on here People are getting 12% and the free stuff ,they come back with numbers What is that well 10% sir is that good enough FO!

Derisory PX prices ,they tell me thats a lovely spec and mileage and then want me to turn over and take it up the arse.IE £1600 under book

Some twat at sytner today said I see your 325I at £13k after I said I have a firm offer to buy for cash at £14700 are these guys £ucking idiots


I will find someone who is sensible more than happy to wait for the right deal

They can have the two e90s now ! I have a c class 250d I dont use my wife can use that .So that isnt a issue

Make the dealer an offer. The sticker price is only the starting point for negotiations.

Also as an FYI I've seen a few almost new 530d GTs with 5,000 miles, fully loaded, with a £37,000 sticker price. That's very, very cheap for an almost new car. My new 3-series cost more than that.

sell yours private you should get £500 to £1000 over top part ex
then offer £3000 under the sceen price letting them know your ready to buy that day
could save yourself 3 to 4 grand

I would be quite happy at 12% discount including BMW offers and anything close to top trade.
