My family has purchased a few cars from them, they are cheap but the reliability of their cars are somewhat sketchy.

Went there about a year ago with my wife to purchase a BMW. We drove an hour there twice on the same day to make the purchase. Second time there my wife walked out because the gentlemen helping us with the paperwork started talking to his co-worker about overseas prostitution. <---TRUE! I told them right then and there to cancel the sale and we left. They also received an "F" from the Better Business Bureau. Just my bare bones .02!

what.....
They were really professional with me. You have to do your research before buying from them, just look at the car fax and pay for a pre inspection from a bmw or an independent shop. That's what I did and bought my bimmer for 29k with 27k miles, its at 46k miles now and its been running like a champ.

Kero'S
I've purchased a 07 E90 335i and a 08 E92 335i from Eddie at Kero's
Great dealer. No pressure. They get cars from Auction in California, and sell them for about 1,500 over what they paid. Great cars and great prices. Justs make sure to get one still under factory warranty, that makes it a no lose situation. |

I purchased at 2007 328i there in May and have had nothing but a wonderful experience. The car had a great price, it was a real no-nonsense transaction.
After purchasing my car I was having problems with the run flats losing air. After two trips to the shop, they called up Les Schwab and replaced it for me at no charge. I would definitely go there again and recommend this place to anyone who wants a good deal. |

Would any of you guys who are close to that area mind stopping by to look, cosmetically, at a car I'm interested in? I'm seeing one on their lot that really interests me, and I'm in Denver. Obviously if I did come up and get it I'd be happy to buy you a beer/dinner, etc.

I saw a black E92 335i heading south on I-405 today with a "Kero's" plate on the back (temp tag in window.)

I bought my '07 E92 335i from them last year and the car had 19k on it. All 4 wheels were curbed and the sideskirt was scratched from the rock. So I asked them to repaint the sideskirt, and knock off some change for the jacked up wheels. They're really great guys, and yeah, they're a volume dealer.
Cars move in and out of that dealership pretty fast. It's not BMW Seattle quality customer service, but they also have bargain BMW's under 50k... Their profit margin is between $1500-5000 (depending on the rarity of the car), but for your typical 330/328/335 they only profit 1-3k depending on how many they have on the lot, or how long it's been sitting there... Eddie prefers to push them out fast because of the sole fact their parking lot only has so many spaces, lol. Even though they're Egyptians, they're actually not Muslim, they're Catholics. Lol. That grocery store that's next to them? That's a family run store they take a loss on just so their mother can get out of the house because she was bored. |

I have purchased 2 cars from Kero's I have always dealt with George but Eddie is a great guy too. Hope his health works out for him too. I recommend these guys but a mentioned before, please check that the car has all the parts before you leave. They buys their cars mainly from CA auction and have them shipped up to WA. When I bought my 330 from them in 03, the car had a broken window regulator. They took it to BMW Seattle and fixed it before I bought the car. They provided me with a receipt for the work. I have never had any issues with those guys.

I actually went to look at their cars. Been there 3 times to try to negotiate and they never really took me serious. I really didnt appreciate that... but I could see how they would think Im just some punk kid. Still, as Salespeople I think they should show respect for everybody because anyone can be a potential buyer. Cant say I recommend them, went to Kuni BMW in portland to buy my 335i, they were great. And in the end, they had the better deal, same price yet got CPO, something Kero's cant offer. My advice, try to negotiate with dealers before you buy from brokers. Though their price may be listed higher, but they are willing to negotiate and you get the benefit of 6yr/100k CPO warranty. Plus you dont have to deal with getting the car inspected. Something you should never cheap on when buying from brokers.

They are Egyptian. I actually know one of the brothers/owners. They are ok as far as the dealership goes but they really don't negotiate what so ever and sometimes really rude. they probably one of the cheapest dealership around the country but again as one of the earlier post said you have to be careful with the missing parts and have the car fully inspected by BMW. it doesn't hurt to pay $250 for an full inspection than make a bad purchase.

Bumping an old thread.
Looking for some updated information on this dealer. I am interested in one of the cars they have, and I plan to import it into Canada if everything else goes well. What should I be aware of? How much room do I have to negotiate? |

Yes I did. However, the information is 3 years old and I was hoping that someone who has dealt with them recently can re-inforce it.
