Usually how much discount do people get after haggling over the internet advertised price on a e9x CPO? I am buying a 2008 e93 cpo for $1000 below internet price. Is this a good deal?

??? You need to know the car's wholesale (auction) value and work up from there. That's the only way to determine if you're getting a "good deal".

$43,000 for a 3-year-old vert? Don't do it!

If you really have your heart set on a vert, the Galves trade-in (wholesale) value of a 2008 E93 335i with Steptronic, Leather Trim (Premium Package), and 20k miles is:

$34,550
+ $1,500 (estimate) to recondition the vehicle.
+ $2,000 (estimate) for the 6yr/100k mile BMW CPO warranty.
+ dealer overhead.
+ dealer profit.
= $ ________

IMO, $41,000 or less would be a fair price for that car right now (with the 2011’s out already). By the way, the other listed options add $0 to the wholesale value.

Thanks TJDiCandido! you saved me a lot of money! I love this forum!

So, is it wise to buy a new car with a good deal (for eg. 2010 with $4000 below invoice) than buying a CPO? since most BMW dealers dont bend too much under haggling pressure on the price advertised.

Whenever you purchase a new vehicle you will always take a depreciation hit no matter the circumstance. CPO is always a better and "wiser" deal but not this E93 for 43k, that is overpriced marginally especially since it does not have navigation. Do you have a link to the vehicle? Keep looking and best of luck to you.
