Which one 2009 or 2010?

I'm in the process of making a decision on either to purchase a 2010 or 2009 E92 at my local dealer. The 2009 was a demo car the owner of the dealer used and has about 2500 miles. They are asking about 64k for it (car has never been registered). 2010 E92 is brand new. Which one do you guys think is the better choice and how much do you think I can negotiate?

Thanks for the advice!

Hi Bapesta, and welcome to the forum!

I called inquiring about the same car you did, about 4 months ago - it's at BMW NW in Fife, right?

My advice to you is DO NOT buy that car; the owner - whom I spoke to - is a pompous jerk, and not worth your time or money. Granted, I can't afford the car - new or used - and he may have picked up on that. However, I would still say that since the car is past break-in, and you don't know how he used it, I would spend the extra money and buy new.

I look forward to seeing you at future meets! I am the unofficial, official photographer for them

Thanks for the feedback. I was kinda skeptical about it. Yes, they are located in Fife.

Just a few thousand more, right? 1 year less depreciation in addition to it being a new car that you can take care of correctly from the start. Definitely worth it IMO.

Since the 2011 is around the corner, shouldn't I get a deal on the 2010s?

Yes, you *should* but, given the money centered in this region, that doesn't mean that you will.

Just be willing to play hardball and you will get what you want. Contact Marta at BMW Seattle or, Richard Hard/David Ly/Alvin Eklund at BMW Bellevue, tell them what you want/need and you should be a happy owner in no time

I've been dealing with David Ly in Bellevue since February. I haven't met him but my cousin have dealt with him before. I feel like he's not giving me the best deal.

Used 2009 - $64k
New 2010 - $67k MSRP = $61.xk invoice

The extra options on the used is ~$5k. Assume you add the same same options to the 2010 it'll cost you ~66k invoice. I don't see any reason to get that used car!

The 2011s are around the corner, but they aren't in the lot yet. From what I read people are still getting the 2010s above invoice. If you want a deal on the 2010s, wait until after the 2011s are in the lot.

Stay away from that car in Fife unless they are willing to sell it for $55K. GL

If you really want to play hardball with BMW of Bellevue, come in with some on-paper deals from other dealers; if they stonewall you, they will back down and be more negotiable once they know they could lose your business.

Best of luck, I hope it pans out for you!

BMW Bellevue will not go anywhere near that deal on a stock car. Don't even waste your time.

Yeah, I had a pretty bad experience with Alvin at BMW Bellevue a couple of months back - when I played hardball on the price he then made some fairly offensive comments to me when didn't like his offer and he lost my sale and I'll definitely be bringing my business to another dealership if I don't buy private party.
