[QUOTE="gier, post: 189827, member: 1040"] There's a 2002 UK spec 330i with sports package at Naza PJ which I had been drooling over for quite some time. It was priced at 360k and the sales guy will only go down to 355k. He did say I should make an offer and he'll check with the boss. So I made an offer of 270k which I thought was a reasonable price for an '02 330i with those specs. Sales guy said that they can't go that low. Mainly because they only pay the tax upon the sale of the car and since the tax increase, they're buggered. He also mentioned the fact that the car is "brand new" and I said that 4 yrs old (this was last year) ain't brand new, regardless of whether it's been driven or not. As another poster mentioned earlier in this thread, the moment you drive out of the showroom, the price would drop through the floor. I also said to the guy, what good asking for a big price if there's no way in hell you're gonna move the thing. In the end, I didn't buy the car because I couldn't justify paying such a premium, regardless of the newness and the packaging. For all I know, the car's still in the showroom. Hmm ... I think I'll go over there again and make another offer. 250k this time. [/QUOTE]
