Hello, there:

I need some opinion on this Bmw 328i m sport(Bayside Imports in NY), if this is a good deal and legit car with no problems ? Also, this BMW car is not from a BMW dealer. Also check the car fax, too!

I would stay away. Do a search on them. They have a lot of bad reviews.

Thanks for the response! But, your concern is more of the dealer its self than the car--right?

[-The Truth]

The carfax is pretty bad. But it depends on the price. How much are they offering?

Yes, which I think is enough not to buy it.

Well,

1. The reviews for the dealership are bad.
2. The car is worth a couple hundred dollars less than the book value. So basically when you try to sell the car (in the future) you'll get a couple thousand dollars less. This is because the car has an accident report and insufficient maintenance history.
3. At $30,000 you can get more bang for your buck. A similar 328 msport with no accident would be around $32-37,000 and a '13 335i msport with 35k miles or less goes around $36,000+.

All I'm saying is to weight your options. Not only do they have bad reviews but the car might not be in good mechanical condition. Get the checked out to make a final decision. Good Luck!

Alright, thanks for the response everyone! I'll keep my option open.

I would say stay away as well. I would not buy from most of these used car dealers with an exception to few. They get their cars from auctions 9/10 times and they are repos or cars that have been in bad accidents and leases too. Some of these cars can be in good condition but many are not taken care of well. These dealers pay probably 20k for that car spend maybe 2-3k on getting it ready for sale and when things go downhill later on they just blow you away. I got my 13 335i (fully loaded, literally everything)with 54k for only 28. it is not an m sport, but just a sport. I just bought the front oem conversion and upgraded the front end and side skirts. Keep looking until you find something from a more reputable dealer.

Yea, I know it has been on a accident but, it points out it was only minor accident. How about this one : http://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory/p/Report.cfx?partner=DLR_3&vin=WBA3A5C59CF341572

Anyhow, thanks for response!

I've heard this dealership (like others in the area) does the bait and switch with pricing. In order to get that price, you are going to have to go through ther finaincing, which is going to have a highly marked up interest rate.

If you don't do financing, they are gonna tag on a couple grand to the price. Ive heard this guy who bought from a similar dealership and got a 4 year old 3-series for 25k but financed at 20% interest rate.
