yea cuz i got my 07 brand new with everything in it except for ML for 38,700 (IS 350)

 

not number 1. luxury motors has a bad reputation in the luxury car community. I actually test drove a 335i there and they said it was on deposit, but if i wanted it they would undercut the other guy. That is just shady.

 

# 1 is more unique, less people will have it but also has more milage.

 

wow so you guys think way too much money? I have been looking around for about 2 months and this is what they are going for. BTW #1 is completely stock, it was a lease vehicle, what makes you think there's anything aftermarket on it? The #1 does not have sports package I understand it has the luxury package w/the G-spider alloy wheels.

Why am i buying out of state?......b/c there are they are so rare around here and I want Nav w/ Lux or Sports with SGM

the dealer book value for #1/#2 is ~35,5k -- what would be a reasonable offer?

 

I'd offer $32.5K to start.
I say you can definitely buy that car for $33K to $33.5K.It's winter and the car is in Chicago.

 

How can the book value for both cars be the same? #1 has Lux Pkg and G-Spiders. That's over $6000 worth of options right there.

 

Just going off endmunds.com, #2 has lower miles and also sports pkg making it close but a little less (like 500 less maybe), hence the apporiximation symbol "~"

 

But the second has Sports package with Nav...

 

i like the 2nd one better..less millage is always good..and check the vin number ... i wouldn't want to get a engine with the knocking engine sound....

 

Ok wait, get what you want with the options you like reguardless of the price, better to pay alittle more for what YOU WANT than 'getting a better deal' for something you'll regret *even thou its such a fantastic car you'll forget all about the 'wanted this' part within the first wk*. There are times when money is no object, spending $35+k on a car is one of those times.

 

Thanks everyone, it looks like I am going to check out #2 tomorrow and most likely buy it.

In the end I think I just wanted sports pkg more, even tho lux pkg has some nice features. I was trying to convince myself i liked the wood trim and the g-spiders but I realized I really didn't.

Not to mention #2 is 5 hrs away vice #1 in chicago like 14 hrs or something. Anwyways, thanks everyone input was awesome!

Hopefully Ill be driven her home tomorrow cannot wait!

 

+1 on the #2

less miles on #2 and I don't like the wheels in #1

+ sports pkg is

 

number 2, less miles and its cheaper, give or take a couple of options, but small minor ones.

 

Hey everyone, thanks for the input. I took a one way ticket to Newark, NJ to pick my new whip! Number 2 is damn beautiful and drives like a dream. The car ride took about 7 hrs (i drank a few red bulls), but every minute was amazing. I have never owned a nice car, let alone one with an automatic and power windows. This is by far the nicest car I have ever had/driven, with maybe the best thing i have gotten behind the wheel of is a 02 M3.

Regardless thanks for the great forum and also the great input!

~~ One proud new owner, man my friend with the m3 is gonna be jealous!!!

 

Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to the CL family.
