Is this a good price for a 2004 325 Ci Coupe?

[MY 330XI]

Hey guys

Sorry to hassle all of you all the time.

I decided to go with the coupe instead of a sedan.
I was given an out-the-door price (including NY tax, title, and registration) of $39,500 for the following car.

Shall I go ahead and seal the deal or as time goes on, will I get a better deal?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best Regards,

Donald

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Try to convince the sales person to lower the price a little bit more, and if they say that they don't "negotiate" tell them to throw in some small options.

doesnt sound too bad, but you sure you want auto?

Well he lives in New York, and there is a lot of traffic. So if you don't like the hassle, go with auto.

Hi there

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

Wow, you drive an M3 in California? Lucky you.
Driving in NYC is a pain.

I will do like you have said.

I hope to be part of the dtmpower/BMW family.

Best Regards,

Donald

Hi there

I actually do not know how to drive a manual.

You drive really fine cars. You have excellent taste.

Most of the members here are from California and drive really nice cars.
I'm 28 and I am finally being able to afford a BMW.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,

Donald

I woudn't spend $40k for a 325ci, a loaded one at that. I'd rather get a stipped 330ci for that price. But tat's just me.

I agree...I still regret getting a 325ci...yea but 40k I would also consider getting a 330ci instead...also, you should reconsider getting auto...manual a lot more fun in the long run!

A 325 cannot compare to a 330. Much like a 330 cannot compare to an M3. I would stick with trying to get a 330.

Have you considered a CPO BMW? You can find excellent examples of 2002 and even 2003 330Ci's for around 40K. The main difference is that you won't have the "facelift" or the adaptive headlights. Personally, I prefer the original front design compared to the 2004 coupe design.

Hello there

I actually plan on getting the 330XI Sedan. I was talking with my brother about this. I need the All Wheel Drive.

The best quote for a 330XI Sedan is $44,000 out the door from Essex BMW in NJ. If she gives it to me for $43,500 out-the-door, then I will seal the deal.

Thank you for your feedback.

Donald

Thanks again.
