Good Price for a demo 330i?

Blanko · 04-30-2006, 10:09 AM

I am considering a 2006 330i demo. What discount should I expect?
MSRP is $44,010. Car has 2000 miles and has been driven for 2 months.

Should price be below invoice?

BeeEmDubU · 04-30-2006, 11:17 AM

Considering that it is a demo vehicle, I wouldnt pay anything over invoice. I'm certain that the car was driven hard those 2000 miles.

I agree with BeeEmDubU, and make sure they dont pull the "Hey, we broke it in so you don't have to"

what are the options?

anyhoo- i'd pay 36-38k for it...most likely 36k...

def dont pay invoice. the car is used no matter how you look at it. $36-38k sounds reasonable

Blanko · 05-01-2006, 11:44 AM

Thanks for all your help

They have initially offered $2000 off sticker - otherwords approx $42K! I know from negotiating at other dealers that I can get $2000 of a new one, so I have told them $37.

I'll let you know how it works out.

kal-el · 05-01-2006, 11:55 AM

I' d offer $6k below MSRP. Prepare to walk away if they don't budge.
It's their loss since they want to sell it quickly , the new year model is here

Blanko · 05-01-2006, 05:03 PM

I was just in another dealership and they had a demo 330i fully loaded MSRP $47,400. They would not take any more than $2500 off and the car had 3950 miles.

Are we way off asking for $6000-8000k discount?

No. Here is what you do. You Wait. Let the car sit for about 30-45 days. Then they will start marking it down.

I bought a demo 330i. And it was in perfect condition. The car was listed for $37,999. It was a 2003 but 2004 was around the corner. I bought it for $32k.

Blanko · 05-01-2006, 09:53 PM

I am sitting waiting - patiently - I think. How patient can you be when waiting for a 330i ???!!!

mapsbmw · 05-01-2006, 10:00 PM

At these prices....go new!

I got about $1900 off my new E90 325i and it wasn't even that loaded.

THE JEDI · 05-02-2006, 10:59 PM

Offer them 39,500 simple they will take it

gos · 05-03-2006, 12:08 AM

I did better (as in markdown from MSRP) than those numbers, and I was ordering my car, it hasn't even been built yet...

h_curtis · 05-03-2006, 06:35 AM

$37k. Good luck. I know around here you wouldn't get that price. These cars are pretty hot in my area. There really aren't that many on dealer lots. I think people are smoking something if you feel you can get it for that. It will be sold to someone with $.

Blanko · 05-06-2006, 03:22 PM

Got it for $39k: 1300miles white/black leather SP, PP, CWP, Na, Sat prep.

cdheaven · 05-06-2006, 06:43 PM

i dont think 39k is bad. im actually suprised the go below invoice. i disagree with everyone and think if it sat there long enough, eventually some guy/girl, probably girl that just really wanted that exact car would take it off the lot and not really care about the demo factory.

Gitta · 05-11-2006, 11:46 AM

Your deal sounds about right. I bought an executive demo (the dealership owner drove it for a few months) 330i with 3800 miles on it. I paid $5,070 less than MSRP for it ($44,840 for $38,770).
