important decision

calvino · 07-19-2006, 11:43 PM

hey guys I need help I need to make a important decision

ok this is the deal I got approved with capitalone for $35300 and I have $3500 for the down payment

so this is the problem I can get a 325i auto jet black,Leatherette, xenon, SP for $35.270 plus I think tax and fees is like 38 something

or I can get a used 330i mystic blue, leather, Sat radio, with 2100 miles for $35.000, I actually know the owner of the car there are selling it because they are moving to Venezuela and you can't import the car ( I know that's is true for fact b/c my cousin live there and there were also unable to import their car wen they move to Venezuela) the owner is around 60 years old and I know they don't even go up to 60 mph. so what do you guys think

I can't go over my budget so the total no more than $38500

angrymofo · 07-19-2006, 11:49 PM

go test drive them. you have feel which car will suit you. I drove both before i bought.

BK · 07-19-2006, 11:55 PM

Is the 330i also an E90? If you know the owner has had no problems with it, I'd get that one.

BMW F22 · 07-19-2006, 11:56 PM

I think $35k is pretty expensive since the car almost has no option in it. I think $33 or 34k is a fair deal. Dude why not get a 328??

Base ED invoice- $29,875 + 695 delivery + 800 profit + 1210 steptronic= $32,580 + $3,258 tax & license= $35,838 Spend $1500 for a few nights in Europe and you're at about $37,338. STILL A LOT CHEAPER THAN BOTH THE CARS YOU"RE CONSIDERING.

The 328 already comes with sport suspension and xenon lights so you dont have to spend money on that. Just a thought...

saini023 · 07-19-2006, 11:57 PM

wat does the 330 have? sports pkg? prem? logic 7? comfort access? has any of those..go with the 330..if not..i'd go with the the 325..depends what the 330 comes with.

Jay_328 · 07-19-2006, 11:59 PM

go with the 330 (he may be eager to sell so offer a bit less and see if he bites)

BMW F22 · 07-20-2006, 12:03 AM

funny how it's an important decision and he's not even responding to the posts...

zamboni · 07-20-2006, 12:06 AM

He got the message.

You gave him 20 minutes?

Maybe he taking a shower....

calvino · 07-20-2006, 12:23 AM

actualy I was talking a shower jajaja

well is a e90 330i it have the auto trans, it does not have SP and I'm not sure about PK but I don't think it have it

saini023 the 330i comes with logic 7and electrics seats with memory, and memory mirrors, xenons, and this one have leather and SAT radio and is mytic blue

the 325i new that I can buy will have SP Leatherette xenon and that's it.

calvino · 07-20-2006, 12:43 AM

so???

thekewl1 · 07-20-2006, 01:01 AM

i think you should test drive both of them and see which one u like best. 2100 miles on the 330i is nothing and the good part is the engine is already broken in. For the 325i, after tax and license you will probably be very close to your budget and you'd get less car for the buck. It is a tough call, but I would personally take the 330i + it's mystic blue!!

Pretender · 07-20-2006, 01:17 AM

Dude, not everyone is able to to go to Germany for ED. Anyway, try to look for a used 330i from members in here. It's loaded and cheaper. I would say $36k for 1 year old e90 330i loaded with options.

calvino · 07-20-2006, 01:31 AM

yea I test drive the 330i and is nice, I have to test drive the 325i but I think after driving the 330i I don't think I will take the 325i

but I think I'm going to go for the 330i like you say is broke in allready it looks like new , it still have the plastic on the mats and is more car for the money.
Is own by a older person so is not like it has been readlined or abuse , I really don't think that car as even go up to 75 mph maybe they haven't use the radio lol ( I just say that b/c went I drive with my grandma she hate lisen to music on the car )

ohh and is a oct 2005 production.

I will take some pics tomorrow, and I will also go to a bmw dealer to get a service history of the car.

The 330 is the obvious choice with more for your bang. 2100 miles is not enough to make a difference and he's babying it anyway.

tl_boy · 07-20-2006, 01:32 AM

i agree. 2100 miles is NUTTIN.

take the 330i..you can probally sell it easier in the future if you decide for a change. i like the mystic blue color also..jet black is sexy..but i got swirl makes that irritate me but i know i must deal with

..good luck..

calvino · 07-22-2006, 02:27 AM

ohh guest what? I got it for $34.900 + tax and fess.

I got him to take off like $340 more off b/c his wife lost her walet with one of the keys so I have to get another one brom BMW that that's arround what it cost

well long story short from $38.900 what he was asking I got it for $34.900. even that I missing a key is a great deal, is not the best that I will ever found.

considering that the car new is:
MSRP $36,600
Options and accessories $3,795
Destination charge $695
Total price as built* $41,090
