What should I offer? '08 e92 27k mi

mchoy · 07-27-2009, 10:31 PM

Very interested in an e92 that I spotted locally and thinking about picking it up either tomorrow or Wednesday if the price is right. I realize there are a lot of variables but what would your first offer be and what offer do you think they would take? KBB is giving me something around $40-41k - currently stickered at $36,500.

2008 335i e92 w/ 27k mi - Auto w/ paddles
Alpine White / Saddle Brown
Sport, Premium, Navigation, PDC, Logic 7

Thanks!

I should also add, this is located at a Honda dealership. Never would've considered this option but I've been looking for quite some time and I haven't been able to put my hands on one yet (probably because I've been really picky).

I think you would be good if you could knock off $2-3k off of it... since kbb is 40k.... also check the condition of the car... for that kinda money you should be getting a 'clean' car inside out.

thats a lot of miles for a '08

Production date is Sept. 2007, almost 2 years - a little high but not too shabby.

Start low like 33k and work your way up i guess but that can back fire as they will think you're a low baller. Also get a carfax for the vehicle's history

I was thinking about starting around $33k and working from there.

Carfax looks good - it was an ED, one owner.

good luck and remember there's always going to be another E92 out there if you don't get this one. have a set price in your mind and stay strong to your price. always walk out if you don't like the deal they're offering. bring someone for support/second opinion

I am trying to be patient too. There are plenty out there w/ under 20K miles and for around 32K but the color and options are not what I want. GL and be patient.

mchoy · 07-28-2009, 08:15 PM

I've been searching since December. I'm not in a rush but I'm running out of patience!

JAY56641 · 07-31-2009, 12:40 PM

I bought my 2007 e92 with 25k miles on it about 4 months ago. Was CPO, Sport, Premium, Cold Weather Pack, AT, Active Cruise and I got it for $32,500!! Super great dedal on it. You have to do your research. Search on Cars.com and allow yourself a large search distance (500 miles). Prices vary greatly....why pay more if it's all covered as a CPO. I live in NC and took one way flight to NJ to pick it up. Saved a ton and am loving my ride.

mchoy · 07-31-2009, 06:56 PM

I ended up picking up the car for $34,000. They also gave me above Carmax value for my trade in (Accord).

Thanks for you input!

Perfectus · 08-03-2009, 04:43 PM

Congrats...nice price!

positiveions · 08-03-2009, 05:32 PM

ahhhhhh, ok find out what the trade-in value, and let me know. I will tell you how much to bargain for. PM me if you need help. I used to be a new/used CA. Kelly blue book has that option-to figure out the trade-in value

Bobby_LeMans · 08-03-2009, 05:43 PM

good price...but really suggest you in getting a CPO...can be costly to maintain...

BMW Fanatic · 08-03-2009, 06:45 PM

nice price!
