What i had before: acura 1.6EL, Nissan Altima, now: BMW 328i =D bmw drives jealously though... beings someone who didn't complete high school, college nothing but owning a bmw turns some eyes... makes me happy to see them hate though! |

Registered Nurse/ Personal trainer.. Payed in full upon purchase for $31k with 16k miles
To the chef dude above who bought the car in cash... The story seems funny because you can't buy cars in cash? Maybe they did it at that dealer but generally you can't do it. I mean unless if you hand them a cashiers or certified check. I know this because I myself have attempted to do it. They're essentially not allowed to do it. Please explain, just curious.

[QUOTE=fattychalupa;12398768]Mad kudos to you! Being a chef must be one of the hardest working jobs out there- you must have had to work a lot of hours to pay cash.[/QUOTE
Before I made sous chef I worked 6 days a week for 10+ hr each day. Crazy overtime lol. |

I'm an Architect & my wife is a Nurse. While shopping for BMW, the Dealerships are trying to lure us to buy the higher end models but we don't want to over spend on a car. Our 328i is more than enough for us & we're satisfied with it.

You don't seem to understand, I had to give this info to the IRS, not the dealer. In this situation it's not about cash being king it's about how you got the cash. The IRS wants to know EVERYTHING especially when your purchasing a 50k+ car cash. It's even worse when your trying to mortgage a house.

Single, director of health and safety for a large engineering firm, hard work pays off. Traded in my 2008 civic si with 70k miles (It was tracked many times on some major tracks) on it and got them to match $13250 I was offered from another dealer. Then gave them another $7k on top of that and financed the rest with low APR since I have an 850 credit score. The car was a custom order that the buyer decided he didn't want 2011 335i coupe with Msport package and 6spd in alpine white and 19" optional wheels. It had 70 miles on it from demo use, got them to knock of $8500 plus since never titled it was considered new with full warranty starting that day and asked them to throw in some M floor mats and cargo tray. The rest is history. Will pay the car of within 2 years. I always still have my 2008 S2000 CR edition that is paid off just incase.
