Thoughts on an 08 E90?

rfalls · 10-27-2009, 04:35 PM

Dealer has a 08 E90 that is being sold as new since it has never been titled. 570 miles on it. Dealer said that the car was one of the early 08 M3 arrivals (build date may have been in late 07) and has been used by the dealer as a demo car.

Specs are below
A73 Jerez Black Metallic
NDSW Black Novillo Extended Leather
ZCW Cold Weather Package
ZPP Premium Package
ZTP Technology Package
2MT 19" Forged and polished Double Spoke wheels (St...
403 Moonroof
415 Power rear sunshade
417 Rear manual side window shades
507 Park Distance Control (rear only)
653 HD radio
655 Satellite radio with 1 year subscription
6FL iPod and USB adapter
752 Enhanced Premium Sound
999 LAUNCH SUPPLY

Dealer is asking $58k.

Appreciate any thoughts? Is this a good deal? Not sure whether I should go for this, or try to find a new 09 (assuming I can find one before 11/02 to take advantage of the .9% financing offer).

Thanks in advance

Its high, you can do better, and personally I wouldnt buy a new car with that many miles. I used to work at a dealer and know from personal experience that you cant trust people to be gentle on the car during break in period. Theyll never see that car again and they can be as rough as they feel. If I'm going to spend 60 - 70k on a new car, it better be MINT, no 600 miles B.S. Just my .02

Thanks Pete

That confirms some of my hesitation.

Car is located in Oregon so the fact that I can't drive it is an additional cause for concern.

Raised this with the dealer. Went down to $56k, but your comments convinced me that to take a pass. Thanks This site is great!
