Good deal for '04 325 xi ?

Tell him $32,000 because i doubt on a black car shortchanged a premium package with leatherette and titanium trim (opposed to the beautiful myrtle wood) is in such high demand. It sounds to me like someone placed a piecey order and then backed out upon delivery...
Tell him $250 seems sufficient for filling out forms and flapping his gums.....
If that doesn't work call a few dealers and play them on eachother, if you need further advice on that u can just ask.![[^]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_approve.gif "Approved [^]")

Impossible to say
Dude...so hard to say. Without specifying every little detail including xenon, navigation, alarm, cd changer (do you get the rare electric rear window shade?) blah blah blah. Some stuff only the dealer can add...not the factory.
It's impossible to give a reasonable appraisal. Call a few dealers near you and say you want to order the exact same car (and give them every single little detail...right down to the style of rims and all).
Just a thought

Think of it this way. Everything in that car is standard except the power DRIVER seat, the auto tranny, and the foldback rear seats. It's not even metallic paint or any specific package. That car has a rare option config and it certainly isn't appealing. I would go with $32k and no the dealers in NYC or the one I think he's talking about don't really add any fancy options, you get what's listed.
Also the items you just mentioned are mostly added by the factory and would have been mentioned if they existed.
Btw, make sure you mention to the salesman that a 4 wheel drive car being in the northeast (NYC) without heated seats is a disadvantage.

I'm with 7803...that shit sounds scant: assuming you didn't leave out any details, you have a unusual car there....no package to speak of? You must have left something out of your email. I say $26,500 at most! Even less...take a road trip dude and pocket the savings after gas costs. BTW, black is better looking than any metalic BS they can charge you extra for (assuming, of course, you might have a chance in hell of keeping it clean).
Hold on a minute guys... nyce46 asked if this was a good deal, and at $750 above invoice (I'm assuming the numbers are correct), this is an AWESOME deal! I mean, who here bought their car for $750?? Anyone from the NYC area?? I doubt it!
Now, that having been said, should he try to negotiate a better deal? Of course! Dude, if you like the car as it's equipped, counter-offer with $32K or $32,250, but I wouldn't expect them to go too much lower. Yeah, the car's almost bone stock, but there's plenty of demand out there for lower-priced new BMW's, particularly with the younger crowd. And this crowd will not care so much about leather and ass-warmers and would often prefer the sportier look of titanium over wood trim.
Just make sure that in your negotiations, they INCLUDE all the bull$hit fees, which can add up if you're not careful. For example if you can get the car for $750 including all the fees, I can't imagine that you will ever do better than that.
