126K very good deal... I had mine at 127K when coe is 9K
But opt out of the Servicing, realised you only can at most hit 2 service interval (Acutal cost < $800 and you can get discount of 1.5K
Which means your final price is 124.5 K .... very very good deal!

Re: To Buy or not to buy (e90 320 vs IS250)
I got mine about 2 months back when COE was at 11K at 128K, so I was thinking with dropping COE's and expected drop in ARF, I guess PML might want ti finish goods early. Furthermore, I expect the 323i to enter the market soon. It has already been introduced in Canada. Thus the price of 320i is just going to go down and down. Try 120K, you could most probably get it if the SE is desperate enough.

Hi Guys,
Can you share what's the latest deal now ( AA and non- AA), down to 126K already for non-AA ?? Cannot imagine people already talking about 120K .....
Are you able to elaborate on the kick backs on financing, servicing, freebies, etc ??
Thanks in advance .........

Re: To Buy or not to buy (e90 320 vs IS250)
heard the AA deal is for 121k. no rain sensor, no anti dazzle rear view mirror, no 6 disc changer and no more 3 years maintenance free. Only 3 years warranty.
anyhow, engine is the same as e46 318. if i were u, will get the 325 instead.

Re: To Buy or not to buy (e90 320 vs IS250)
numbers are flying around. Some say 123K some say 121K for the AA deal
Know that current car is selling at 129K (11K COE)
and that COE may increase this time round for Cat B
So if 121K, seems quite worth it ( don't forget 4K specs+Svc already taken out)

Re: To Buy or not to buy (e90 320 vs IS250)
Heard that non-AA 320 was recently sold for $122K.
AA versions can go for sub-$120K depending on the size of your loan becos you get a 3% cash rebate on the loan amount if you take a 7 or more year loan.
I too am waiting for the IS250 to come out, but I think Lexus has a huge problem of matching PML's price - they just refuse to budge. At about $130K (for the lower spec version) minus ML sound system and other specs, is just not compelling pricing, especially when you know the Mark X is going for $90K for the SAME V6 2.5L engine.
The IS250 OMV is also a lot lower than the 320 - around $36K compared with $40K-42K for the 320. Now if the Mark X were a lot sportier looking......
In my view, PML are pushing out the 320s as fast as they can to crush the opposition in terms of number of cars on the road. These must be the thinnest margins on BMWs I have ever seen. The IS250 will have to sell for sub-$120K with FULL specs if they want to persuade BMW drivers to switch.

Re: To Buy or not to buy (e90 320 vs IS250)
i dont think anyone who is weighing up the 320 v lexus is really going to consider the toyota, even though on paper it is a worthy contender.
but even at around the same price 130k, regardless of OMV, the things that lexus has to offer i think is more than enough to persuade some to switch marques.
for one thing, lemon & lexus = oxymoron.

Re: To Buy or not to buy (e90 320 vs IS250)
Whilst that may be true, it was not so long ago that some Lexus=Toyota........
It is not so much that anyone choosing between the 320 and the Lexus would opt instead for the Mark X. It's just that the existence of the Mark X makes one a lot more reluctant to pay a $30K-40K premium for a different car but with the same engine. Lexus has to price their IS250 low if it wants to move them. Just my view.....

Thinking of changing from Camry to either Juguar X, IS250 or 320i, visited 3 show rooms in Leng Kee area.
SM and BM slaes persons gave very good response. Last stop PML, for 20 min no one care to even look at me.
Gave out.
