hi,
im new to this forum and reside in Southern Calfornia,
im upgrading from my pos 09 corolla lol

anyways ive checked a few dealers here
and there's a base 328i 2009 cpo
29k miles advertised for 24,788
i got it down to 21500 no cpo and he said another 2grand if i wanted it to be CPO, i was hoping to get them down to 22,000-22,500.

and there is also another one
same thing basically but black with 31,000 miles but for 23,915
and was hoping to get it for 21500-22000


any negotiating tips? and help with the whole car buying process?
i know to ask for the CPO inspection and for all the service records

thanks

From a BMW dealership?

I bought my '09 328i xDrive with 57k miles for $25.5k CPO.

It was super loaded with:

-6-spd manual transmission
-Monaco Blue/Beige Leather
-Cold Weather Package
-Premium Package
-17" V-Spoke Wheels
-Light Burl Walnut Interior Trim
-Xenon Adaptive Headlights
-DVD-Based Navigation
-High-Definition Radio
-Logic 7 Sound
-iPod and USB adapter

I don't have many tips except don't let them take you for a ride. I shopped around a lot, but ultimately didn't have much control over the deal. The car was located in MA and had to be shipped to NY, where they had to do the CPO inspection again. Fortunately though, I got all of the options I wanted.

Don't settle for a car you don't totally love, especially not in this price range or segment.
