I just came back from test driving a 330 ci and i m SOLD!!! i have to get one, and fast.
my question to all you bmw owners is where should i buy one from?
i test drove at the dealership on Burrad and the guy (William) was very nice but i m not sure if he is giving be a good deal or not......he basically said that i would probably get between $2000 to $2500 off the sticker price. and maybe $3000 if i m very lucky.

i am specifically looking at the 330ci with m perfor package and with the leather and auto ( gf cant drive stick)

Pleeeeease help me guys ( and ladies) so i know what i can expect to pay. I want to go this week and order it cause he s saying that it should take 2 months.

Thank you all and please tell me which dealer and salesperson you worked with to get the deal you have.

Try to deal from invoice price, go on edmunds.com and see what the invoice price is for a car with your options. Then print that invoice price out and ask them to deal from that price. Some people have gotten anywhere from $500-$1000 over invoice.

thanks Tom.....do yo u know if theres an edmunds.com for canadians? with the canadian prices, thanks

Sorry I think it's only available in US currency. You can also ask the dealer to give you an invoice as well.

Also go to Brian Jessel BMW and see what they can set you up with. Although I haven't dealt with them myself, I heard they are very competitive

thats a good deal off of it...i got a 325i and we got $3000.00 becuz we've been a customer for 20+ years and know like tons of ppl there so if he can get u that discount its good

Check out Parkshore Motors in North Van. I bought my car from them (Tony) and he can get you a competitive price. The service is excellent and they take care of you. The service department is also great (owner of the dealership is the service manager). I bought a used '00 323i w/ 27,000 kms exactly one year ago. We went back and forth with prices and I got a great price with some extras (roofrack, accessories). Buying new, you may not have as much flexibilty of lowering the price, but you have to work for it!
Good Luck!

Got mine at Brian Jessel and I think they knocked off about $2,500. They're very concerned with maintaining their image as the top BMW dealer in the country so will try very hard to make a sale happen. I bought mine from Valentino...who seemed like a pretty decent guy.

Geez. You guys are making me feel very bad. I only got about $1500 off MSRP on a 330ci.

But did you guys add any options though? Mine has 0 options.

hey muttmutt, i live in vancouver, get your car from London Motorcars on Burrard, across from the Acura dealership. they can get you a good price, way better than the ones they quote you at the dealer. check it out.

 

[muttmutt]
