2008 with tech package?

ismelllikepoop · 07-17-2008, 10:06 PM

is 5k off a sedan a "good deal" anymore? a local dealer is offering 5k off which i think is a good deal, but in a few months with the thousand or so 08 sedans still sitting on dealer lots, i'd imagine prices getting even better. with the new taillights and idrive and newer model year, an 08 sedan with tech package seems like it would be a hard sell, which almost is pushing me towards a premium+cold weather sedan. could it be like with the z4, that in its first year out was discounted almost 10k? i want my car now but my rational side is saying that prices will come down significantly more on 08 sedans and just to sit tight. maybe i should just get a coupe and not worry about any changes.

5k off seems very attractive

$5k off is a great deal and would be plenty to make me forget all about the new tail lights and the updated iDrive. YMMV.

5K is a GREAT deal...

Good job...take it to the stealership...makes up for the M3 not getting 0.9%

Yes, you can wait and get a lower price on the car. You will also have fewer choices and have to be more flexible in what you will buy and you will have to search harder to find the lower price and you might have to travel further (at greater expense) to get the deals. I don't think a lower price is always a better deal.

If you like the car and want the options on that car then $5K is a great deal.
