In B.C we pay 6.1 % duty on cars that aren't made in north america. 5% Federal Goverment Tax and 7% Provincial goverment tax on cars' purchase price + Duty. $100 air conditioning tax, $200 something for regista of imported vehicles and around $150 for provincial inspection. BMW Canada wants $1000 for recall letter and warranty transfer stuff.
overall, we pay quite a bit to import the car, but it's still worth it because the price is cheaper and there are alot more cars to choose from in the south. |

bought the following a week ago:
2011 e92 m3, space grey, dct, tech, prem, heated seats, premium audio, ipod/usb, etc. 2k miles, not a sign of use anywhere. also has a light tint on the windows and aftermarket tsw wheels with pzeros..plus i also have the oem 19s with conti tires. sticker was $74.3k, paid $62.5k. other buyers around might have paid more but the seller wanted a fast and painless cash transaction so i got the car. great buying experience, would highly recommend this high end dealer in the bay area. |

Just ordered a 2011 M3 ZCP Sedan EVERY option (can't wait!!). Haggled with every dealer within 50 miles of me in socal and Drew Sebring at Rusnak in Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village gave me the most insane deal as usual. He's the sales manager there and has been taking good care of me and my entire family for the last 5 year. Hit him up and tell him RJ sent you.
BTW I'm in no way affiliated with Rusnak or getting a kick back for this. I just feel that when people are good and take care of you (a rare-ity in the car sales business), it's only right to be good right back at them. Besides it's win-win-win for everyone.

When I said "$4k in cash in the trunk", i meant it as a sarcastic joke saying if he gave you that car for that high price, he better have also included $4k of cash with it, or the price is $4k overvalued. When i said "$40s price +$500", I meant offer the guy the low $40k price,the minimum price, and then add in $500 for dealer profit. |

I've promised him I wouldn't say the actual figure, but if anyone's in the market for this car you wouldn't go wrong at least giving him a shot. Let's just say that Valencia and Camarillo are doing a no-haggle $500 over invoice and Drew at Rusnak is doing much better -- this info you found on your own
Also, was considering SG before ordering my AW and he told me that he's got an SG on black w/ carbon (non-priority 1) coming mid-Dec if anyone's looking: Competition. Convenience. Premium 2. Double clutch. Moonroof. Heated seats. XM. Enhanced sound. So you might even be able to get a better deal on this since it's dealer inventory and not p1.

Been following these threads for a while now and they get more encouraging by the day. I'll be looking to pick up a low mileage 2008 E92 Sparkling Graphite this coming summer and hoping to see prices in the high 30's. What do you all think? Possible?

I bought a 2008 M3 Convertible from a exotic car dealer in Florida received it 10/23/2010
12,500 miles, 6 speed, Every option. Premium sound, Technology, Sport package, extended leather, 19" wheels, heated seats, etc. Jerez Black with Silver Novillo which is the color combo I wanted. I paid the asking price of $54,900 but he gave me the full kelly blue book for my trade in. A 2004 Lexus SC 430 coupe with 68,800 miles. Without trade I think I could have got it for 53 or 53.5K If you configure a 2011 on BMW website this car would list at 80k with only difference being updated I Drive. I Love this car http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...US_Cars_Trucks Last edited by Gamoto; 11-10-2010 at 07:23 AM.. |

What does that mean?
Also, on interesting note - saw this on the WSJ today: For Used Car Buyers, the Price May Not be Right With the price of used cars at a 15-year high, many buyers may be better off buying new. WSJ's Joseph B. White reports. http://online.wsj.com/video/for-used...BBF75D98E.html |

uh....wtf is that guy saying? Dealers think the car's value will go up? He must be smoking crack, or he meant they're taking a hit on a trade in, and it may not be bad since the car's value wont' drop as fast... Anyways, that article didn't say much. It's a big generalization and you can't really use his information to apply to a car in a niche market. All I know is in for my 08 model, 8k miles with a 67k sticker, I paid $46k excluding tax cash with no trade in June. Good deal for me. |
