Used BMW Buying Guide - From a DEALER

[@raptor_jdm]

This video needs to get out to more people. I've had to go with people before and this just adds to my arsenal.

[@Boblib1970]

Great advice. IMO the biggest thing that you can do in negotiation is don't get emotionally attached and avoid FOMO and be *willing to walk away.* In the end, it's just a car and unless it is truly unique or rare, there will be another come along one soon enough.

I agree I did that on a 2023 xt4. got sucked into the price but don’t like the car enough now i’m stuck and hoping to get out of my lease deal and get into a bmw I want even if it’s a few years back and used.

[@i9avici7a5]

This was so informational thank you so much!

[@FritzRamos]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelschneider1365]

great video. i’m seriously hoping to get rid of my 2023 xt4 and get into a 2021 or 2020 bmw so far both the dealerships I am trying for don’t want to do anything and are being annoying

[@thomasdiersch1181]

Nice. Summarized: research, affordable, patience, due dilligence. I think most people don't follow these steps and have too much emotion in the transaction.

[@FritzRamos]

Well said Thomas. Don't get emotionally attached to the car before you take ownership. Hope you are doing well.

Negotiate is the best tip they brought my m235i down a bit when I started bargaining

[@FritzRamos]

Nice. Would you mind sharing what the asking was and what you got it for? If not that's okay.

[@vijesus]

@@FritzRamos Yes forsure they were asking for $35,456 CANADIAN DOLLARS but the car had some good scrapes and scratches on the under part of the lip and some scraping on the OEM rims so after I convinced them it wasn’t worth the initial asking price I paid $3,000 dollars total at this dealership mind you I traded in a Nissan Frontier for the car.

Thank you for the great info👨🏻‍💻. Have you ever thought about getting an f80? Is the f22 enough for you? What do you think of f80👀?? I have an e36 m3 too…

[@anjdog2003]

With great credit they won't let you walk.

[@leewalls3818]

I like your videos, I love my M235i, so your KZbin has been a great source of information even from the start of my research just as you suggested to do. It's also the reason I purchased mine. As a sales consultant for a dealership, there are somethings you are saying here that are misleading when it comes to working with a traditional dealership. Instead of pointing them out publicly please feel free to reach out to me sometime so we can discuss them.

[@ethancowart6765]

19,700 is really cheap isn't it for an m235i the cars ive been looking for on auto trader with that same milage are closer to the mid 20,000 dollar range???

[@doralburnett9886]

Very helpful info. Thanks

[@garett2892]

Hey fritz can u possibly send me a typical log of your air fuel ratios from your car? Mine is tuned and I want to make sure it’s normal. I’m not sure what is normal for the car

[@FritzRamos]

I've actually never done it lol. Have you tried 2 addicts? I'm sure there are several there that way you'll also have a range

[@AlmightyKes]

Is the 2.0l reliable? An x4 I’m looking at has one and don’t want to get one of there worst engines

[@janstefanec1880]

Nice you bought it for 1500$ u must have good skillz in handling

[@F10.Baozer]

I got lucky. My car was sitting at 14k asking price and without even saying a word they offered to sell me it for 12k out the door the same day

[@AlmightyKes]

The one I’m looking at is around 15-16k but the miles is 120,000 and probably can get it to 12-13k instead

[@lucasjames8281]

That’s because it was a 12k car they were trying to get some sucker to buy for 14k. No one advertises at the price they’re willing to take

“Guide to making poorest financial decision aka buying a BMW” 😂 jokes aside I really enjoy looking at some of them but my pocket ain’t deep enough to cover those repair bills

[@AlmightyKes]

All you have to is maintenance like oil, brakes, fluids, timing belt and if you learn it yourself then how could you lose?
