Kelley Blue Book shows about $13,000 to $14,500 depending on condition. Offer them less than what KBB says. I'd try to get it for $11,500 to $12,000.

There is a thread out here somewhere but email, thebmwpartstore@gmail.com list the last 7 digits of your VIN and leave your email and Mike will have all your options to you within a day.

BTW, the price is good. I paid $17K for my 07 MCS back in Aug. but it had 57K on it.

they were only willing to come down $600 and then tacked on fees of $300. so basically 13.7k, which i am not thinking is that amazing a price

What's wrong with the price? Did you find something else for a better price?

I don't understand some people who expect $2k discounts. Do you think there is that much room here? That car would sell for more than that price at my dealership all day long.

The mileage is the issue... I just talked a local dealer down to 11k from 14.5k on an 07 astro black MCS because the car had 56k on the clock it had the death rattle and the sunroof didn't work plus it had stored codes when i hooked it up to my laptop, and he said his techs checked it out and it was flawless. It still had the maintenance warranty to 100k but the breakdown warranty was gone so I told him I will look elsewhere and he called me about the time I was 2 blocks from the lot and said 10k is the best I can do I still said no... I would Rather pay @ 19k for one with @ 36k on the clock. Just go in there with guns loaded as most salesmen don't know squat about the cars it also helps if you have a laptop loaded with BMW software and a OBDII cable for leverage. From your post it seems you think it may not be a good deal just keep looking or negotiate harder.
