I got these private messages.

From m3Post.com:

Kampfer,

I saw on m3post that you just bought a 2008 335i. I was about to buy one and just saw this press release that they’re raising prices across the board:
http://www.bimmerfile.com/2008/12/23...s-for-january/

Based on your experience, do you think the dealers are really going to raise prices? Or will sluggish sales on the local lots counter the MSRP?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I am really close to pulling the trigger on the 2008. Based on the current economy I would think I could get a really good negotiated price. What do you think? Do you think there is an upside to waiting a bit?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

...

So... what gives? I only answered the M3 one, saying just negotiate the final price.

rickc,

I saw on m3post that you just bought a 2008 M3. I was about to buy one and just saw this press release that they’re raising prices across the board:
http://www.bimmerfile.com/2008/12/23...s-for-january/

What was your sense of the climate when you were negotiating, are the lots soft? Do you think I can get one at or below invoice, do you think BMW is really setting the prices?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Maybe they're trying to get people to read that blog.

I guess they want us to add a comment on that page.

I got one from MBworld.org as well; did anybody get it from anywhere else?
