good deal or not?

tazzy1 · 11-26-2008, 03:46 PM

I'm trying to get a trade going as I bought a CPO 2006 330xi last month and I'm regreting not getting the 335i.
I hate the suspension on the xi, but anyway they want to give my $27,700-$29,000 on my trade I owe $29,051.00 after putting down $3,895.00 and making two payments.

I'm trying to get them to sell this one for $36,995.00
any thoughts?

That doesn't mean it's worth doing. The question the OP asked, paraphrased, is: "Is this a good deal?". The answer is, no it isn't. Taking a 4-6k bath on one month of ownership is a horrible idea.

you're right guys I'll just wait and get it as my next one down the road.

canucklion · 11-26-2008, 05:52 PM

exactly. OP asked if it was a good deal, which it's not.

Smart.

So you lost 4,000 in a month, how much has that 335i come down in the past month. How bad is that dealer wanting to get it off the lot? I say go for it. Stay firm on your offer. It is the end of the month, maybe they are desperate for a deal. Remember they have to sell that car you don't have to buy. Is the 0.9% financing availible for the '07's.

damn...4k in a month..brutal!

canucklion · 11-27-2008, 09:00 AM

Let's see, he lost about 4,000 in one month. Say they do sell the 335i to him for his offering price of 36,995 (dealer retail: 39,991) and they gave him the full trade-in value for his 330xi at 29,000. He's still taking on an additional 7,000 in debt; that's on top of the 29,000 he owes that he's currently making monthly payments for. Hasn't the recent US financial crisis taught you anything? subprime mortgages and all?

I'm assuming that finacially he could afford the car in the first place. That being said, he would essentially be buying the 335i for what he could have a month ago. Anyone who bought a car in the last months( I did ) could have saved a lot of money if they waited to buy. If you are looking to buy up to a more expensive car nows the time, if you can. Not everyones in a financial mess. There are great deals out there.

i would keep it until the next 3 series comes out

Why not upgrade the suspension? I reckon a bit cheaper than $4K...

No, but it's available on select 2005-2006 cars (so no 335s.)
