Possible change to E92 325d??

Masterplan · 10-12-2012, 05:43 AM

Guys,

Been down to the local BMW dealer, and spotted this which I quite liked the look of:

Just wondering what I should be looking to pay for this should I go ahead? I'm not the greatest when it comes to dealership negotiation based on past experiences, however I want to make sure that if I go for it, it's at the right price and I've got a good deal.

i'll be trading in my Mini Cooper S against it. Any suggestions on what I should be asking the dealer, and what I should be paying etc?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Scott

Nice.

Space Grey (I think), Piano Black Inlays, USB, sat nav and front and rear sensors. Pretty much all the spec I think I'm missing (except the satnav). And with 313's. Bonus.

In general, dealers have at least a grand to play with, so work on that. They took a grand off mine without me even asking, although I was going to.

Make sure discs / pads are up to scratch, and the tyres are new or nearly new, and you should be good.

look on auto trader at similar specs to give yourself a feel for price

Get them to throw the service pack in on the deal if it doesn't already have it, didn't find this to be too difficult when buying my current E92 and this was on top of a £1K discount on the list price.

That's a good point. I suppose a lot of it will depend on the trade in price they give for my mini too. But wanted to see what I should be looking to get before taking that into consideration.
