On a similar topic having you compared it to buying a used 2014 328d? Roughly cost the same other than maintenance and depreciation, I am in the market looking for it hence throwing another angle and helping myself as well as adding to your discussion. I am specifically looking at d since 60 miles work commute and better mileage.
With a BMW I don’t want to have to worry about maintenance costs, out of warranty repairs (especially emissions stuff on a diesel) , etc. So I think a lease would be a safer bet for me personally.
328d (Especially loaners/demos) Don’t make much room on them. If you can get a discount of $7,000 it’s actually a good deal. I’d offer you something from my inventory, but I’d probably only be able to do $5-$6,000 off…
That’s good to know on what they have to work with, I appreciate that. I don’t necessarily need a diesel (it was just out of convenience/what the local dealer had available). I suppose I may have better luck just waiting to find the right gas loaner.
Why not a 330e? You’ll be getting similar gas mileage as a diesel, greater discount, and tax credits. If you find a dealer that has one between 4000-4999 miles and low MSRP then you maybe be in luck with a great deal.
The 13.3% off you’re getting isn’t that bad as @Samson said as well. Yes it’s not the unicorn 18-20% you see now and then but those are very rare occurrences and they literally sell in a matter of minutes.
$10k off (or over 21%) isn’t realistic so you can take the advice of people that haven’t gotten that and ask for it, but you’ll be wasting time. And right now, every email you send that delays the commitment is another couple hours that a non-hacker customer could walk in and see a tremendous value at the current price.
I have a leftover brand new 2017 328d that’s around the same MSRP ($47,245) and I can get you down to $413 plus tax with 10k miles and only $1,500 out of pocket. Just email me at dave.townsend@bmwofmurrieta.com and I’ll be happy to breakdown the full details. Maybe we can put this one in your garage today.
I know we’re there is one 23% off but it’s in the east coast if you are interested its under 5k miles also
It’s pretty loaded also not a stripped model also x drive
Sounds like it could be an excellent deal, but feel free to pass than on to another hacker (if you wish). Think I’m going to take my time and look into a 330e or maybe a C300
