This year's Excellence Guide (2014 - 2015) lists a 2009 S in the $60k - $69k range. Considering the options, miles & warranty, it seems to be a very good value.

A PPI will qualify exactly how good a value it really is.

Thanks for all the help guys. I just signed the PO and put a deposit. I'm just waiting for the contract and I'm good to go I think.

@3Series, no I'm not local. I will have to fly to Denver to pick up the car.

With those options plus the warranty it's a fair deal.

Buy it and enjoy, It's a beautiful car.

I already tried my best. I started at 59, 60, 61, 62 and even 62.5K... they won't budge! I think it's an ok deal. I've been searching all over the nation for 2 weeks now and by far, this car the has the most options. Most of the ones I've seen are in the 59K - 67K price range too depending on the year and mileage.

Yes...Congratulations.
Beautiful car.
Same colour as mine.
I found a little window tint really jacks this particular shade of car.

A good deal would be to get a price for trade in value for your zip code and then take 5-10% off for the wholesale value. That is what the car is really worth.

The car is worth what you're willing to pay.
Good research, warranty, will mitigate your risk.
Your accountant would tell you to go buy a Honda Civic.
I like buying my cars at premium off brand dealers.
I know I'm paying for their kids college, I just hope its not an Ivy School.

I'm sorry, but that's a bunch of crap. Why should you be able to buy a car for less than wholesale? Can't the dealership make any money? How can they stay in business if they sell the car for less than it cost them?

To the OP: you done good on price. That's a nice car-enjoy it!
