bought a new car today
Again, purchased new, and have no intention of ever selling or trading. The experience was so much better than what I remember with the 335i in 12/06. The finance mgr. did not even try to sell me a tire warranty or protection package, he remembered me saying I don't want any of those. There were no hidden fees, just registration, no all of a sudden marketing and training fees out of nowhere. went over the vehicle thoroughly, 40 min. I even changed my mind 3X on how much I was putting down, and the finance mgr. said no problem. None of the cheesiness of my BMW experience! And this was a GM dealership. 3.6L Direct injection baby, let's see how this car's hpfp goes....

He's holding back. This has got to be the worst kind of internet trolling around.

I'm guessing Camaro? Why not just tell us???
They don't bother trying to sell the added warranties because there cars can hardly last through there standard warranties. Not trying to bash on the American car makers, but I just bought my wife a Ford Flex and its been an epic piece of shit, had it for two months and it already has a weekly appointment at Ford. Sunroof leaks, headlights are full of water, consoles breaking etc, etc. Anyways good luck with your purchase and I hope you kept your BMW for something to drive when your GM's in the shop. J/K.

Ok, ok, take it easy it's a 2011 Buick, the one that Tiger introduced back in 2008. It barely cost more than a Pilot or 4Runnner and has more luxury (Bose, Navi, dual sunroofs (actually the rear is a skylight), AWD, xenons, XM, OnStar, 288 HP I think, and you bet I kept the 335i. And it's a vehicle that I actually like the looks of. 19" rims. My wife will drive it, which will free up my Nissan so I can drive the '98 Nissan daily and put the 335i back in the garage all winter.
It has a 4/50 bumper to bumper so let's see. But I kid you not, the entire sales/delivery process was nice. None of that cheesiness of BMW--I mean just last weekend yet another new BMW dealership told me my 335i takes "special oil" and "more than 7 quarts." Doesn't anyone here get sick of that type of nonsense? The finance mgr. told me they lost on my sale because my offer was so low, and he showed me the big minus sign on his screen. He then said they get a $470 allowance on the the vehicle so it offsets it. Again, if he's BS'ing me, he was friendly and made it a pleasant experience. With my 335i man that guy was hard selling the tire protection and paint protection, with the gold bracelet and chain, dag..... |

Only seniors drive a Buick, maybe that's why you couldn't make up your mind.
