How much is a resonable amount for a 2002 325i with the following: sp, hk, moonroof, xenons, metallic paint. I currently have this ordered under a lease but my bank has introduced ultra low interest rates and I am thinking about buying it. Let me know what price I should shoot for.

One silly question, didn't you set your price before you ordered the car?

leasing or buying should not matter.

I think the price I got was $31,500 but I am not positive, as we talked mostly in the form of mo. payments and the residual value since I was leasing. I am thinking of offering $31K and see what happens, the MSRP is $32,500.

Did you read Edmund's advice on negoiating a car? NEVER EVER EVER tell the guy you are negotiating with 1) you are wanting to lease, 2) "negotiate" by saying "I want to pay $X/month". Did I mention NEVER EVER EVER?

The GOOD news is the contract HAS to say what the purchace price is. Go to Edmunds.com and figure out what the invoice and MSRP is on the car you ordered and go from there.

IMO $1k off a 325 is not a good deal.
