Excuse me, are you saying you bought a brand-new 5-series BMW for 31k? If so, please, please tell me where you got it!

It is a 2007, 3200 miles on it. It was a Demo car, never titled, so still new. I bought it in the Auto mall at Desert BMW.

That doesn't sound right. Maybe a 3 series 4 door sedan, but a 5 series would be high 30's low 40's. What is nice about luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes, Jag..etc.. is they loose value quicker than most cars. A 2008 Mercedes S550 is almost 100K, but a 2003 S500 will go for high 20's low 30's. I would never buy brand new unless there was a big rebate or 0% financing to offset the depreciation hit. BMW holds up pretty good, but it all depends on the model.

A new 2008 528i has a base price of 44,300. Did you get a used one or is that a 3 series? If paid 31K for a new 528i, let me know where you stole it from

It was a dealer demo. 2007 model year (so two years old when I bought it, 2009s are here now) It was used but untitled (driven by a dealer). just over 3000 miles on it. 528i. Bought in early 2008 (Christmas present to myself). Asking price, almost 38k. Final price, just under 32k. Desert BMW in Henderson.

See why we love it.

I wasn't arguing, I was just looking at some used cars recently and I saw 2004 and 2005's for a very good price (mid 20s). But the new ones were just too expensive. cjski21 got a good deal since his car only has 3K on it and it is a couple of model years old then he made a good choice! Why buy the new one..
