The dealer brought it down to $19000 and when I brought up this discrepancy, he just brushed it off. So, what do you guys think? Does it seem like a legitimate error or am I getting a bad deal? Also, are the maintenance and rim and tire insurance plans worth it on this car? I appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Now that we have exhausted the validity of the deal and the sanity of the question..........

With only 17K+ miles on the car you should have more than half of the manufacturer's warranty left. If you are planning on keeping the vehicle past 40k then the maintenance plan is a personal decision.

I don't take it, but I do most of my own maintenance on both my MINIs and they are both past 40K.

Tire and wheel insurance on OEM wheels? I'll need more details on that one......sounds like there's some bait in the water. Buyer Beware.
