Chris,
My budget was $25k. We were right there....
I have to say that after seeing a handful of other cars, the one I bought was
the lowest mileage, has factory warranty and maintenance till Sept of next year and was ding free. I would have liked xenon lights, but it seems one in ten cars are equipped with them. The interior is almost flawless. 90% tread left on Pirelli Scorpions, brakes show no signs of wear, it was a 1 owner vehicle lease turn-in.
Our local BMW dealer wanted 32k for the same car... needless to say, we did not buy it from there.
I was also able to snag 3.99% financing!

WHAT!!! OMG, that's amazing!!!
In a couple years I'm going to get rid of my '98 Montero SUV and go to something different (but still a SUV). I'm considering either a BMW, Porsche, or V6 Toyota RAV4. Give us a long term review once you've driven the beemer more.

Thanks,
looks like we're exactly on the same page here, let's see if the "price is right" on the left coast...

Kirk,
I went thru Citadel Federal Credit Union... Out of Phila PA.
Try your local credit union... I was shocked at the rate!!
Of course, my credit is over 750...that helps.
Best of luck!

Well I followed suit and added an X3 to "our family"
Turned out it IS a buyer's market:
2006 X3, Xenons, 30k miles, $22k
looks and smells like new and is LOTS of fun to drive
And to top things of: Same color as my Boxster
