I was looking at this e90 sedan: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...r_id=302407251
I haven't called them yet, so I am not sure if they are willing to deal. What kind of offer should I make for it? |

Anyhow, what is the rule of thumb in offering a dealer? 10% less than their asking price? Or the price they are asking for is OTD? Any advice would be great. |

I test drove it. They started the paperwork and the price was never discussed again. Once again, it was a Toyota Dealer. They hadn't even found or tried to find the original window sticker until I asked for it. Once they saw that document showing the original price of $81,970, they realized they had priced the car low to begin with, but they still were top-notch and extremely thankful that we had driven 7 hours to come down there! I guess my point is when you make an offer, leave play room. At least it shows your interest in the car! |

Doing my research in buying used cars I have found most large dealers will not even bother to check what the market is for a given car. What the dealers look at is what they paid for it and mark it up their standard percentage. That is why you see the lowest prices at large dealers. However, once the price is set initially most sales people have an allowed percentage drop before consulting the manager. Then the manager looks at other factors such as overall sales volume for the month, the hit rate for the car, length of time on the lot, etc..to determine if they can let it go at cost. So you got a great deal which is awsome but rest to sure they still made money but how much we will never know. And when they pulled the sticker was probably surprized that the car depreciated so much as well as kicking themselves for not sticking to their guns. |

So do you guys think 55 is acceptable then? Or should I try to play harball a little? (I was thinking about having them throw in a clear bra on any deal). Also, here are the finance rates they are offering on the car: 60 mo - 2.7 72 mo - 3.2 84 mo - 4.1 |

Now, if you are financing with them you could work them more as they may get some type of residual for brokering a finance deal. This is a technique that my friend uses. Also, try asking them if you did not finance and paid them upfront would it help becuase money now is worth more than money later. Lastly, in order for the latter to work you will need to have an alternate source of funding lined up. I found a great funding source that approved me for $50K @ 2.49 for 60 months. PM me if interested as I am not sure I can post that type of link here? |

LOL, yeah they were really trying to push the 84 months on me. The only thing holding me back right now is the mileage, I checked carfax and the car was owned for 1 year and 3 months, so I guess 20k miles isn't THAT bad.

FYI: Originally the dealer listed for $56K which is not outrageous but inline with all comparable cars in the market now. |

Otherwise, this is a great deal. I bought mine nearly 3 months ago for $53K, fully loaded E92 coupe with Remus sport exhaust, CF front splitters and rear diffuser, tint and clear bra on the front. It had nearly 11K miles on it when purchased. |

Yes he is in Cali. Well I live in AZ so I just pay the seller and then bring it to AZ and register it here, if I were to register it in Cali then I would pay tax.

Looking at a used 2010 E90
Here are the options: Space Gray DCT Premium package Moonroof Split fold-down rear seats Park Distance Control Ipod and USB 19" double-spoke wheels It has a little over 6,700 miles on it. I offered 54700 but I think they want 55K for it. Does anybody think it's a good deal or simply too high? Last edited by elliot_to; 07-17-2011 at 07:48 PM.. Reason: Addition of wheels |
