Let me know what should i know
thank you

Looking at the link, doing the KM > Mi conversion, I paid $18,500 USD for my 2008 328i February of last year with almost identical miles, it still had CPO through July 2014 too. You might be able to do better, then again I don't know what the Canadian market is like.

Seems reasonable I guess. Any warranty? Carfax? Service records?

Have you had a pre-purchase inspection done by a reputable independent shop?

snbmw · 03-13-2014, 02:06 PM

its car dealer, i bough my rav form him as well.
i think its a good deal. price here for same model is $20000 plus.
car is still under bmw warranty its great condition

what should i check in th car?

TIL. I didnt realize the 32X series came in the 323 model. Interesting. Familiar w/ the older 325's but I thought newer ones we're all 328's. car looks clean good deal w/ the warranty. Shouldn't have too many issues like that.

The rest of the world has more models than the US
usually with smaller motors because of gas prices .
We got the 320 4 this year because now it makes sense here.
Lots of diesel models the US doesn't get to.

That's an amazing deal. I bought my 09 at 132,000 km. For $16,500. I was too much in a damn rush!!

Saintor · 03-13-2014, 04:42 PM

Very good price but I would go with this one;

It is a 2011 and I hate to maintain dark colors.

RoamPT · 03-13-2014, 04:44 PM

It's a good deal, i paid $16.000 for my 2009 with 74.000km in a mint condition.

Chadi335is · 03-13-2014, 05:13 PM

Go into subforum and to the Canada section.... People there may be able to help you and you might see a better deal as private sale under the Canada classified section

snbmw · 03-13-2014, 07:41 PM

I will check it out.

But Ya thank you for feedback.
Is there Bluetooth. ? Any feature ? I have no idea.
.I will probably buy indash.as well .

snbmw · 03-13-2014, 07:56 PM

Alsoil get it tomorrow I finish all the paperwork.

MGT81 · 03-13-2014, 07:59 PM

I'd honestly wait and find a good deal on a 328i. They have more power and are much less decontented than the Canadian market 323s were.

snbmw · 03-13-2014, 08:05 PM

I would wait fir it but 328i it's way to expensive at the moment for me. I was gonne buy it for $15000 max so I paided extra.

Hmm. I can appreciate the need to have a budget. Just surprised cuz I'm in Canada too and I've seen a number of 328s in that price range. Usually with a few more kilometres but they're pretty reliable typically.

snbmw · 03-13-2014, 08:24 PM

Your right might have found it. for now I am happy with purchase maybe in 2-3 years Il buy 325 or 328 .

There is a lot of 328i in that price range, they have a butt load of km's and usually they were involved in accidents. It all depends the use you're giving to it, if it's a dd, go for the 323i, it has a pretty good gas mileage.

If you're stretching your budget to get into a BMW, this may not be the time to get into one. You need to make sure that your budget allows for any possible repairs that may come up once the warranty expires.

The mileage is a tad high for my liking. Is this car CPO?
