Is this a good deal?! Help a young newbie!

Bertram · 02-02-2016, 07:46 AM

Hi guys,

I could really use some help. I've always loved BMWs but never owned one. I'm interested in the attached 2013 328xi (CPO), which the dealer suggested he'd sell to me for $32k. I know I could buy a cheaper BMW, but this one is well-equipped (M Sport, Premium Pkg, Tech Pkg, Driver Assist Pkg, Dynamic Handling Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Lighting Pkg). Nonetheless, my wife wants to know if it's a good deal. In other words, am I being overcharged? I'd really appreciate any insights you experts could share. Thanks in advance!

Guys, any help would be greatly appreciated. If I should post this elsewhere, please let me know. Thanks!

If you don't need AWD don't get it would be my only input. As for price...you should trust kbb etc

It seems overpriced. My 2015 335xi m sport with 200 miles is supposedly only worth 32k. I think you can find a new leftover for not much more.

Its overpriced. A friend of mine in LA just bought a certified pre owned 2013 528i with all the options barring M sport package for $33k.

Bertram · 02-02-2016, 04:24 PM

Wow, I suppose we just get screwed in the Philly burbs. I really want an M Sport, which is very tough to find. I appreciate the input.

It's really not. I would start on cars.com (or whatever car buying site you prefer) and filter out the car you want within 100 mile radius. I'm sure M sport would be worth driving an hour or so for. It shouldn't be too hard to find. I was recently on a similar mission. M sport or bust! Good luck!

And I'm assuming you were successful? I'd def drive an hour.

$33K for a 3 years old car with 40k miles on it ... I would run away

run fast

:

2013s should be popping up more now given people returning their leases, you should get a much better deal, just be patient

I was successful but it's not the car for me after all. It's already up on swapalease.

I think what's killing me is the M Sport pkg. I've searched on cars.com, edmunds, etc., and I can't find anything similarly equipped for $32k. Without the M Sport pkg, I could easily pay less than $30k.

I am from Philly area and just spent 3 months searching for my 335. Ended up getting good deal on north Jersey. I have been lurking on cars.com for months and selection of nice equipped (nav, sport line, driver assist) is limited. There is a really nicely priced black 335 at BMW of freehold. Almost exact same price as your 328 with only 26k miles. Only thing not an m sport but a decent deal. PM me if you need anything else. Good luck

Did you try making an offer? I'd have told him $28k and you'll take it right now

Paz1 · 02-26-2016, 07:36 PM

I went to possibly trade my 2013 335xi m sport package and everything in it. 18000 miles. Jeep offered me 24000 in trade in.. they would probably sell it around that 32000 mark. A rip off. Also they stated my trade in is soo low bc there are alot of 3 series flooding the used market.. Wait it out
