I recently found out about this site and looking to pick all the pro’s brains…
I’ve recently been offered a few 320i deals and was wondering if they are good:
BMW 320i - $356.27 per month (including tax)
15K mileage
Very basic options - has a rearview camera and that is about it. Brand new
MSRP: $37,201
$1,500 down payment
BMW 320i - $396 per month (including tax)
15K mileage
Very basic options - again pretty much has a rearview camera
Loaner has about 2,500 miles
MSRP $40,555 but the market price is $35,055
0 down payment
Any thoughts on these deals and what you would consider a good deal? For clarity, I am receiving BMW loyalty credit.
For those prices start looking at some other cars. The base 320i is one hell of a stripped car. You can get way more car for way less in other brands.’
Thanks for pointing out the typo - fixed it. I primarily shopped those two as one is where I initially leased my car and the other was through a colleague’s introduction.
I am having a hard time trying to get them to lower the price as they keep saying this is stretching it. Hence, I wanted to hear from you guys to see if they are telling me the truth.
For incentives - I am getting the BMW loyalty discount?
Guilia?? Have you read those great reviews that also talk about how they can’t make it through a week long test without multiple issues? Journalists love them for a few hours but everyone will also talk about the problems they have. Not a car you want to be stuck with for 3 years.
Check out the bottom of this thread about finding bmw demos. Also be willing to look further than your local dealership. If you save $3000 over the life of your lease and it costs you $500 to get the car delivered or to pick it up that’s money well spent.
Fair enough, but I still don’t think it’s that out of line with other cars. You were laughing at being “stuck” with one for 3 years (implying a lease). Most good leases on them are 24 months and well within warranty, and the vast majority of people have no issues.
There’s really just not enough info to say either way on reliability so I leased one instead of purchasing, but I still think they’re an utterly fantastic value and are miles better than a 320i (and more debatably, but in my opinion better than a 330i).
Edit: Sorry for confusing two responders. @mp11477 didn’t say anything about being stuck with one, that was @Weasel20
