Hi guys, Mason here and im looking into trading my Audi A4 B6 for an E90 325i. Think this is a good deal? I work for Park Place so id get a small discount on top of that... Thanks in advance! And does this year have the adaptive headlights that turn? Anything i should know or do prior to buying it?

Heres the link

Thanks!

How much of a discount are we talking? Because that car is pretty overpriced for its mileage... And I'm pretty sure they have the adaptive headlights

///Mason · 09-09-2012, 01:06 PM

ehh...maybe a grand or so. id probably get it for 13K or so. i work at the grapevine location, so my sales guy is gonna call first thing tomorrow and ask about it.

That sounds like a good deal to me given the options and the relatively low mileage.. 58K isn't much for a 325, they're pretty reliable.

yea i know! im 19 and have been HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE with BMW since probably my freshman or sophomore year in high school....and this one has just about all the option! no heated seats..but oh well. my main thing was i HAVE to have xenons.. so the navigation is a plus! But since im not from a wealthy family, my audi has been a blessing...but this is calling me... i love it

BOBKUR · 09-09-2012, 01:25 PM

What about insurance cost. Good Luck.

Catalina Wine Mixer · 09-09-2012, 01:28 PM

Its alright with decent mileage kind of a boring color imo. Since you work there see if there is any way you can gets its history and maintenance records...

///Mason · 09-09-2012, 01:28 PM

yea my audi now costs me roughly $320 a month. My term is almost up and it will be in october. So im budgeting roughly the same if a bit more

///Mason · 09-09-2012, 01:30 PM

Ok ill ask my sales guy tomorrow to see if he can. the Carfax is pretty decent. Nothing too much out of the ordinary to me..

mashimarho · 09-09-2012, 01:38 PM

Go for it if you can... Just squeeze out every last cent.

Game · 09-09-2012, 01:40 PM

I think you can do better.

Brad from the OC · 09-09-2012, 01:40 PM

At that mileage (60,000mi.) your water pump could be due for a replacement soon if it hasn't been replaced already. With the thermostat, it will cost you about $1200 and around half that if you do it yourself.

I meant price wise. For that I believe you should be able to get a 330i.

should it have decent mileage tho? like under 60k miles?

thecadman99 · 09-09-2012, 01:59 PM

If I was going to get an 06, I'd look for a 330. I admit to being biased though.
I haven't seen a huge price difference between the two.

+1 on knowing if the waterpump has been done.

Yea if we had a 330i with decent mileage id go for it. But my sales guy told me to just look for something around $15K just to be safe. I was about to try to get an IS before hand.
