I am in the market for my first BMW. I have done research to point of obsession and have decided to focus on a 335i 2007 - 2009 auto sedan. After a long back and forth with a local dealer, I talked the dealer down from approx $33k to $30k. Details for the car are as follows:

2007
CPO
Sedan
Automatic
28k miles
black with black interior
sport package
premium package

I don't know where to go from here. It seems like a good deal based on the information if have gathered from edmunds, kbb, etc., but I'm not sure. I guess I am looking for a little reassurance/words of advice/warnings . . . new to the board and would apprecaite some help. Thanks.

You can do much better. Search this forum on CPO pricing and you will find out how you can arrive at a fair price. Galves is the key word!

Edmunds and KBB in CPO BMWs suck. They will break your bank and leave a broad smile on the dealership owner's face.

Should have also mentioned that this is an out the door price (includes tax, tags, title & payoff of my 2006 mazda 3 (owe $10,500, worth about $8,500). I guess actual price would be $27k. Does that seem reasonable? Thanks.

I can't comment precisely on the numbers. I would if I have a Galves account.

Search on this forum for posts by TJDiCandido detailing about CPO pricing. Also, buy a Galves account for a day or a week whichever seems good. You will know how to work up the numbers and arrive at a fair sales price.

Pulled the trigger. 2007 CPO 335i, Auto, Sedan, Black with black upgraded leather interior, brushed aluminum trim, sport package, premium package, 28k miles, $29,500 out the door price (including tax, tags, and title). Felt like a really good deal. Negotiated on the car over three different trips. The deal is contingent upon a final review by me after the 335 makes it through the cpo process. Meaning I can still back out if the cpo'd vehicle does not meet my exacting standards. If anyone thinks the car isnt a good deal, speak now, please! Thanks.
