4.8 for $68,995

BAVM3 · #1 08-18-2005, 09:11 PM

Hey fellas,

Need some opinions/advice here. Just came across a '05 LeMans blue 4.8 with 12,800 miles. The story is that this was a Bmw dealership mgr's car, so it's not considered used and is not CPO'd. My question is how much bargaining power would I have with the sales with the new X5's coming out soon and this being a slightly used car. I plan on visting the dealer this Saturday, any input is appreciated.

Also, I have a '05 4.4 right now that I picked up 3 months ago. I love the 4.4 but if I can find a good deal on a 4.8 I'll jump on it.

Keep in mind that the new X is still more than a year out. I would rather it be titled and turned into a CPO car for that kind of money. 68995 seems a little high for one with 12k miles on it...but that is just me.

I agree...I was thinking more along the lines of $65K ish.

I just made a deal on a '05 4.8is in Miami. It had NAV and only 4,900 miles on the odometer. We agreed on $63,500. It is still there, and I am sure the deal is still available. My problems were that I live in Dallas and I would have had to pay to get it there, it has the 4.6is rims which I did not want, and I have a '06 on order and thought that the resale benefit outweighed the up front savings after changing the rims and shipping it.

All that said, I think you should be able to get it for less, or just call Bramas BMW in Miami and ask about the silver on black 4.8 they have.

Dealers are still not dealing much on the new 4.8 (maybe $2K off sticker) b/c they only get 3-4 of them a year and can still make $$$ on each one.

thanks for all the input guys...i made an appointment to go down there (dealership) on Saturday and we'll see what happens. Will post pics if I miraculously end up getting the car.

What does it have? PP,SP,NAV,premium sound,xenon,...what? For THAT price, it'd better have EVERYTHING! I'd still try to get it down below $60k due to the mileage. Maybe more if they throw in max warranty.

All X5 4.8 comes with all packages as standard equipment and xenons, premium sound etc inc. in base price. The only options you can add is navigation and retractable load floor. And off-course decide between sport seats or comfort seats which are no charge.
