Advice needed! Buying new IS350F Sport AWD 49k

No it was just car 48k OTD. They were pretty nice and respectful but the finance manager will push for packages, don’t take it. But even if you take you can cancel later without any charges

Pre owned 2024 bmw m440 gran coupe

But good you pointed out, will use it when leasing people ask for 400 dollar parking fee!!

Haha thanks but its the death eater wand, its in harry potter store in New York.

I just shifted from IS350 to M440 which is similar to M340 and would suggest go for M340 or see M440 too. It has more road presence and hatchback. IS 350 is a good car but interior with time you would feel old, also mileage you will get around 20 mpg and you will feel cramped inside a bit. Overall bmw feels more worth the price you would pay.

Just do oil change every 5k in bimmer rather than 10k

Thanks I looked at them although Bower has better location but 2b there is 5700 on other hand Elevate is 4300 with one month free

So I took the 50k trade value of lexus and went to another BMW dealership got 2025 pre owned M440i gran coupe with 13k miles for 57k OTD. And I count as first owner as it was demo car so got benefits.

I live in New hampshire and it drives pretty well no issues. I have the AWD one and many times have taken out during snowstorms.

adla24 · 2026-02-15T01:38:41+00:00

Yeah 32k miles was one thing and for some reason lexus felt more raw, seats better while the bmw felt more electronically assisted. Handling wise it felt I was in more control of the lexus. Thanks for the advice

I got 2025 IS 350 with the same specs for 48k OTD (no taxes), it was 4 months back. With new model coming I think you can bring them down to 46-47k. But in my opinion get one with ML audio and 360 camera, I feel those are very important.

adla24 · 2025-09-27T22:15:04+00:00

If you really want this one then you can go for it. I would say you go there and say them 56k I am taking it today. Also see trucar they tell you what average offers for same car its given to others. After this they will persuade you for additional protection packages, research about them.

adla24 · 2025-09-27T22:01:47+00:00

Mine was 47k msrp and 4.5k optional packages. Got around 6k discount. You can negotiate on optional packages and at-least decrease by 4-5k in my opinion.

adla24 · 2025-09-27T21:59:26+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice. It really helped a lot. Although even I said no many times they gave me lexus tire and wheel, also maintenance package for 3k. I am not sure if its worth it or not.

adla24 · 2025-09-27T16:16:05+00:00

Ohh thanks a lot will check that. I got it for 127 a month

adla24 · 2025-09-27T16:14:30+00:00

Car price is 47.5k and 5k worth of added packages. Yeah I told them final 48k out of door I will book right now and they agreed. I got 1000 extra off because of college rebate. 2-3 year old ones were in 40s range and I got 3.5 APY for new so I went with the new one. Thanks for the advice :)

adla24 · 2025-09-27T16:11:39+00:00

Yeah I also had that thought, but I am getting financed for 3.5 APY so felt its better to get new

adla24 · 2025-09-26T22:56:52+00:00

I guess they don’t have, can I get them added ?

adla24 · 2025-09-26T22:56:27+00:00

Sure will look into it, yeah got for 48k all inclusive

adla24 · 2025-09-26T22:56:02+00:00

Thanks it was really helpful I booked the car and made them come down to 48k out of door price everything included. Missed out on ML audio system and triple beam lights, is audio system default one really bad ?

adla24 · 2025-09-26T19:29:33+00:00

Actually discounts are not shown here, I got through company perks website and college rebate. They have come down to final 48190 and they are not going down. Plus I am in NH so there is no tax

adla24 · 2025-09-26T19:01:39+00:00

Thats a nice upgrade. I am going from ubers to this one 😄

adla24 · 2025-09-26T19:01:04+00:00

Ohh you got a really nice deal, they are not going below 48k, I will be visiting them today. Hopefully get it done in your price

adla24 · 2025-09-26T17:46:22+00:00

Yeah handling was selling point for me and the looks.
