2007 335i CPO E92 Pricing Help...need to make decision

SL335I · 10-24-2009, 07:10 PM

Hi guys-

I am new to this forum and would like your advice on purchasing a 2007 CPO 335i coupe. Two cars at two dealerships:

2007 Black on Tan 335i Coupe (CPO)
Miles: 13,000
Premium, Sport, Cold, 18' Wheels, USB, Logic 7
Original warranty till Aug 2011
Negotiated Price: $33,290 (the dealership not willing to negotiate any more)

2007 Silver on Black 335i Coupe (CPO)
Miles: 41,000 (dealer said this was a demo so original warranty / service goes upto 55k miles or Dec 2010)
Premium, Sport, Heated Seats, 18' Wheels, Logic 7
Negotiated Price: $29,000
Offered $1k more than the other dealership for my current BMW

Are these both good deals? If so, which one is the better deal?

Additional comments: I most likely will do ED this time next year on a 335i Coupe (after the refresh) so I'm only looking to own this car for one year. I feel like I would lose less money when I trade in the Silver one (purchase price vs trade in value) next year to order the brand new car. I would like to know what other people think about this.

Thanks.

Option A. You're getting a brand new car more or less... with 87,000 miles of warranty! If you drive more than 12k a year, this is undoubtedly a better deal! The car will certainly drive tighter than the one with 41k. Black on tan is much sexier than silver, IMO.. but you may feel differently. Paying $4000 more for a car with 13k vs one with 41k seems like a no brainer. I faced the same decision less than 6 months ago and couldnt be happier driving a car that still has less than 20,000 miles after 6 months of ownership

Thanks for your response RX7guy.

I felt the same way after driving both cars. However, the 5k difference (1k from trade in) made me swing towards the Silver one. I most likely will do ED this time next year on a 335i Coupe (after the refresh) so I'm only looking to own this car for one year. I felt like I would lose less money when I trade in the Silver one (purchase price vs trade in value) next year to order the brand new car. Thoughts?

how much were you able to negotiate down on both cars?

SL335I · 10-24-2009, 08:44 PM

The Black one was originally listed for $34,900 and was reduced by the dealer to $33,900. The dealer is willing to sell it to me for $33,300. They offered $15,200 originally for my trade-in and I negotiated it up to $16,500.

The Silver had just come in to the dealership. The CA asked for $30,900 and I offered $29,000 and asked for $17,500 for my trade-in. He called me back an hour later and accepted.
