$48K for a base 135i!

imported_Riq · 04-08-2008, 04:00 PM

As the title says. Thats what they are quoting me here in Puerto Rico fot a base 135i.
The 128 starts at $37,000.
The 135 with Sport Package and comfort access for $51,000
M3 Coupe for $100K
M5 - $140K

BMW Dealer here is way to expensive.

Compairing with other similarly priced (to the 135) cars:
Mitsu EVO X - $41,900
Subaru STI - $45,000
Infinity G37 Coupe -6MT with Navigation and Premium Package- $51,900
Lexus IS350 - $53,000

I guess I will have to wait another year.

What do you guys think?

You should look into the European Delivery option. In your case it could save you thousands of dollars even with the airfare to Munic.

Or just order it from a dealer in the US and have it shipped over on your own dime. Probably still cheaper then the prices you're getting quoted.

Just a thought, but have you considered possibly ordering/purchasing the car from a dealer in Florida and then shipping it to PR?

51000 FOR A 135I!

wow

john970 · 04-08-2008, 06:17 PM

Yeah ED from a dealer in miami would be the way to go there...

BMW Dreamer · 04-08-2008, 08:14 PM

I am sorry for you.

Order from Florida and have it shipped to P.R. for $2-3k. Simple.

Not as easy as me driving 9 miles, but you need to get a MUCH better deal then that.

Save $10k brother.

I guess I have to look in to that.
I have a friend that works on shipping trailers from US. I will check to see how much is the shipping charge,
but its a bit difficult to get financing in the states while living in PR
I also have to pay government taxes.

Look at the European Delivery. They avoid some taxes by having you take delivery in Europe and then shipping the car over. They might even be able to ship it directly to PR after you take delivery saving you the extra charge of shipping from US to PR.
