For Sale: 2005 BMW 330i ZHP Performance Package -- 6MT, 32k miles, silver/alcantara, Baltimore, $24k (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?3526-For-Sale-2005-BMW-330i-ZHP-Performance-Package-6MT-32k-miles-silver-alcantara-Baltimore-24k/page5)
Had a call with the sales person. He offered around $25k (vs my offer of $21 :biggrin) and when I asked him why so high considering that kbb itself had it at $22.5k and that a MA dealership sold a '04 zhp with 58k for only $16k, he said that they had paid a lot for it and so are struck with the higher price. Well, should be interesting to see at what price this goes.
yeah, he tried to push me and said he had two guys coming with money monday of this week. they'll come around.
Well, the guy I spoke to didn't even attempt pushing me around when I asked him why it deserved such a high mark up that other low mileage zhp cars don't. He mumbled that his Manager had personally picked the car since it was a rare find and hence will not reduce the price significantly. But come on, these guys are in sales: if the two guys with a gunny bag full of bills didn't turn up (what a shocker that would be!), i am sure he's going to say that the two guys were delayed because their bag fell apart but now he has three more guys interested. :biggrin
Dude's name was Julius green I believe. The only thing he agreed to do for me was send me the routing/acct # to wire $23,995. He said he would not hold it unless it was paid in full. I told him I was funded and ready to make the trip, I talked to him at about 2 minutes before closing 2 Saturdays ago and all he would say was that the money had to be in their account at 9AM Monday or he was sure it would sell. I also asked him literally no less than 3 times point blank if that was a drive away price. After the 3rd time he then added the $270 for temp tags. He was also constantly interrupting the conversation to gag and laugh about bullshit in the background with other people in the office.
Guy's unprofessional attitude and pretty atrocious pressure tactics were overwhelming for a grossly overpriced car. Good luck to whoever picks it up, I'll go out of my way to never give this dealership business, not that it was really likely given the location.
