this is how the price come about:
from alexandra showroom, after several desparate attempt to make eye contact with the 'BUSY' sales people, i manage to catch hold of a young salesman. after talking on the standard option, i ON that salesman on 50% cash to ASAP get car, he quote me for standard model 730i=238k, 730iL=248k minimum but disallow me to bargain price anymore. I very tempting, but after sitting down, another proud joker (his inhouse old-car dealer) come by and want to eat my old car for a 60% of what the market offer. i got pissed by that joker action and talking and walk off. the same day, i also check out sim darby showroom. there i got a quote for a pre-own 730iL at 226K.
in open market, u likely can get 730i at 200-210K for a 2005 model. and plus 12K for a LWB.
i tell u, the 258k is definitely a bloated price. somemore u dont know what options are missing, in my opinion, it is not a price.
