Urm.. besdies that..


My neighbor used them and it was fine.

I used them too. .but in a different way. Printed out what I wanted, went to a dealer, gave them the printout and told them to match or beat it or i would walk out

just price out their prices and bring it to your local dealers. 99% of the time, they will match it at least come close to it. I tried to to thur with carsdirect before, but they wanted me to fax them a copy of driver's license and insurance coverage for ID fraud protection.

You suck at haggling then.

I've gotten in yelling matches with car dealers. They always cave. Last time I went car shopping with some people we gave them the carsdirect price, had them match it, told them to bring the price down $50 more.

He said no.

They fought, he kept saying no.

They walked out the door, he came running after them and said he would drop the price $50.

Car dealers suck. You just have to know how to fight.

Which 325i is only 19500? The cheapest one I see is the sedan 2003 and it is 26909 in stick configuration.

I walked in the Dealer with a print out from Carsdirect, first the dealer said no way then I said bye. Next thing he is chasing me and deals was done in 10 Minutes. If the print out thingy doesn't work with a dealer go to a different dealer, eventaully you get your car at price you want. Good luck.

yesterday the price was $19500 or close anyway under 20k
i just looked on-line again and it seems either they changed the price or it was a pricemistake
i remember they offered some discounts as well. no discount today bummer

Ahh crap, my parents have been looking for a new car too. Would have loved the Bimmer at just under 20k.

Could this be a case of bait and switch!? I dont think they work on sunday, so they can post any price they want on their website. I bet this tactic will at least generate some calls.

There is no way a car dealership would sell a NEW 325i for only $19,500; even if it was stripped.

As I always reply to these threads, I bought my Ram through them, for the most part the deal was no problem.
