2009 BMW 328i xdrive

[Mugsy]

Did I post this thread correctly?

I ended up purchasing one today at a used car tent sale in a Walmart parking lot.
]
I got a flyer in the mail about the tent sale.

I am a girl.

I cannot find any data via google on this vehicle.

I have the car fax. Yes I paid a lot ($18K)

I have been BMW window shopping for 2 years.

I think I found a gem.

It has 70K miles on it.

Thanks for any insight hindsight or advice.

It drives very nice and has had regular maintenance. But looking at Car fax it sat at dealers and auctions. Maybe because it is only a 2 door.? IDK?

The tent sale person said that it was 60K new.

I paid 18K. It is a nice car. Said I have equity in the car of 9 K...Said I can resell the car if I want to for 25K

I see 2016 BMW 328i xdrives on truecar starting $41xxx. Not sure what features you have, but 60k new in 2009 is SERIOUS money. I would have never bought a 3 series for that money.
You should have done your research before you bought the car, or should have not started this thread. You are only going to feel bad if your deal isn't that great.

Tell the tent person you are in a good mood and resell it back to him for $23K.


Just set aside some money when issues start popping up.

mugsy is a girl...
who would've thunk?

I think you were a bit impetous in buying that car..ymmv.

but I can only wish you luck with it..

tent sales guys love when customers like you come along.

I am such a Lucky Girl!

It has 70K. A 2009.

I saw a 2012 with 88K miles, kept walking till I saw this Gem.

The sound system is incredible.

That is about average miles..Mugsy..for reference..
The 2004 I sold this summer had 88,000 miles....
The 2005 Z4 I bought has 52,000..

I hope you don't have the issues a coworker had with that same exact car. 4 transmissions within 60k miles thankfully covered warranty! And now the car dash all the lights light up on occasion and shuts the car off for a minute before resetting.

Did you at least get a full inspection at a dealer? For better or worse in the Midwest a 2009 328xi with 75k miles and middle of the road options on it only goes for around 13.5k. Not sure why the would be so expensive by you.

She is trying hard to convince herself it is a good deal. Let's wish her all the best.

Hey, for a girl, I think I did okay. Alone. No help.
