Default Almost traded the Lex in on this

I almost traded my baby in on the 750 Li. I love the look and power of the Beemer but the interior is actually over thought and not as comfortable as the Lexus. I really dig this car in white no other color even really appeals to me. Im still not sure what I plan to do I may just wait to see what the spring brings!

I think the 7 is very comfy. I put an offer down on a BMW last Saturday. It was a used 2011 550i with 1700 miles. But the dealer wouldn't sell it to me for $5k below new invoice.

The dealer was going to give me what i wanted as a trade in but wouldn t budge on the price. Im going to wait for the spring unless I find a great deal!

I love the new 2011 BMW 535i. Especially in white color as it shows the lines of the car very sharply.

What do you consider a great deal? 2011 535i can be had without any negotiations for $1,000 over invoice.

BMWs are overpriced which is why BMW ranks 8th in the luxury car depreciation tables while Lexus ranks 2nd (Acura is 1st).

I would consider $1000 over invoice to be too much. In the past I have bought European Delivery at $500 above ED invoice which is roughly 14% off MSRP. Even then depreciation will be rough, but close to Lexus. Best bet is to buy a 6 month old executive car.

The car I want is the 750Li and Im not buying anything brand new and especially not $1000 "OVER" invoice we are in a recession if you cant get a car under invoice then your haggling skills are garbage! I ve seen slightly used 2008s for around 40k just not to many white ones in my area!

I like the new 7. I don't like the last one though the refresh like the one above helped.
