my sister traded her Element for a RL.

She called me about at noon saying she just traded her Element in for a "demo" 06 unit. she was looking at 530xi and the RL W tech package. and the demo unit had 3200 or 3300 miles on it and it's black. overall it's a sweet car. the BMW dealer wouldn't deal much so she went to the Acura dealer and they worked more with her.

BMW dealers bring prices down all the time. She should have done more homework.

What price she get the RL for? I would never buy a demo because i know how I drive them

So 46k OTD for a used RL?

Could have bought new for that.

Personally, I'm waiting for an estimate for the time involved regarding a radiator replacement.

Sales at the dealership must be hi-fiveing for getting rid of a demo at that price.

it's not that but it's not a practically year around car in Ohio plus probably around the time i'm 30 i'll be looking to get married again and with Sierra and wife you can't get them all in a Z4 M. plus I got the Goldwing if i want to play around on a nice day.
I gotta take that down next week to the dealer to have them put XM radio on it, put on chrome mirror covers, and valve train lights and adjust my highway pegs. they "set them" like i was 5 ft 6 and i'm 6 ft 4 and it doesn't feel right.
