Used BMWs Features

Used BMWs are hot. Escalating new car prices have made quality used cars very attractive alternatives, and the increased popularity of leasing has put lots of lease returns on the market. These cars are extensively inspected and represent the cream of the used car crop. All these high quality used cars on the market make this an excellent time to buy, but you still need to be an alert consumer. The following used vehicle buying tips will hopefully ease your quest.

Tips to buy Used BMWs:

• FIXING PROBLEMS - If you or your mechanic discover any mechanical or cosmetic problems get them fixed before you pay for the vehicle. Your leverage diminishes greatly after the transaction. Also, the dealer can make repairs for much less than you can.

• WRITTEN AGREEMENTS - Everything regarding price, terms, repairs, and/or trade-ins should be clearly written into the sales agreement. Verbal promises can be very difficult to enforce--get it all in writing.

• CARS TO AVOID - Avoid problem cars. Without being over-simplistic, cars that we don't recommend include: incredibly low-priced cars from recent natural disaster (floods, hurricanes, etc.); excessive mileage cars (more than 10-to-15 thousand miles per year); cars whose manufacturer has retreated from the U.S. market; modified cars; and cars from bankruptcy or law enforcement seizures.

• LOADED CARS - When purchasing a new vehicle, the difference between modestly equipped and loaded can be several thousand dollars. As vehicles age, this price gap narrows. Loaded used cars cost more, but those extra dollars deliver desirable options for much less than their original cost. Well- optioned, deluxe models are easier to resell than stripped, base models of the same vehicle.

Terms Defined

• MSRP: “Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price”. This is the actual price that is typically attached to the car via a sticker on the window.
• Invoice: This is an invoice provided by the manufacturer that is not actual Base Cost. Invoices have a hidden fee or "Holdback" that equals a percentage of the MSRP or Invoice price.
• Shipping: The fee charged for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from the manufacturer. This charge is to be passed on to the buyer without any markup.
• Hold Back: This is a non-published pricing promotion (discount) that is given back to the dealer at the conclusion of a sale of a vehicle.
• Final Cost: This is derived by adding shipping to the invoice amount and subtracting any rebates and hold back.
