I hope that you take this in the spirit in which it’s intended:

Hire a broker.

You could be in two Bimmers :de: for that combined payment.

Are you married to either car? By that I mean are you shopping particular cars or looking for a screaming deal or somewhere in between?

The TLX is widely regarded, at least here, as a very outdated and not that great when it was new car. Make sure you really want that car before you make a deal on one.

Drive some other makes, and definitely search and spend time here looking at deals.

Don’t expect to find a million unicorn deals, but you can do a ton better than those quotes with one exchange with any reputable Midwest broker here.

My $0.02. Add $9.98 and you can have a large pepperoni and cheese Papa Johns pie.

Edit: typos

Definitely not married to either car or make. I’d say I’m looking for somewhere in between; I’m looking for something nicer than what I’m currently driving (Subaru Impreza). It’s a very low bar but I had narrowed it down to those 2 and the Audi A5/4. I’m certainly open to other options but I haven’t explored them all. I was out test driving today and I liked the Audi A5 Sportback the best but I didn’t even bother getting a deal-sheet when he quoted me $721/month. I’m dumb when it comes to this stuff but even I knew that was terrible.

I appreciate your thoughts. I’ve only been here for a bit so I’ve got a lot more to learn; which is crazy considering I’m 100x better than when I first got here.

Thanks!

You should know what the car you’re looking at should be before ever talking price with a dealer.

I would start a chat with @Benedetto if I were you.

That’s one thing I’ve actually done correctly. I reached out to him on the 19th but wasn’t quite ready to pursue the broker thing yet.

I’m hereby declaring you ready. It’s really time consuming to find two deals. I’d be inclined to leave the legwork to the pros.
