Statistic has shown the sales of Malaysia's used BMW cars have tripled over the last three years from 250 units to 750 units. BMW Malaysia Sdn Bhd has launched the programme by the name BMW Premium Selection (BPS) to compete with other players in Malaysia's used car market. The objective of this launching is one of the company strategies to improve sales. This programme will definitely gives buyer reassurance of a manufacturer-backed warranty and confidence as purchasing a wholly new vehicle.
Malaysia's authorized dealerships that offer this programme need to follow the strict process standards such as documented history of the vehicle. The used BMW must have less than five years of less than 100,000km mileage and pass the 72-point check by trained experts.
Let's focus on used BMW such as BMW 3 series and BMW 5 series. The 2007 BMW 325i had delivered a special mix of sporting performance, sensibleness and European luxury in the package. The 3 Series car is famous in the sense of accelerating, turning and stopping with significant balance. At last, the 3 Series has personified reliable product character and values. It has become one of the top most esteemed brands among automobile world.
The 2007 BMW 325i sedans accelerate more quickly, stop shorter, and turn with more lateral grip than the 2005 models. They are roomier, with more standard and optional equipment, and more sophisticated electronic controls. For entry-luxury market shoppers who put a premium on driving satisfaction, the BMW 3 Series remains the place to start.
As for the BMW 5 Series, it delivers just about everything you could ask for in a luxury sedan. The 5 Series has been known as a huge seller in the most popular and competitive class of luxury cars categories. Since the 5 Series classification was introduced in 1975, BMW has completely overhauled its mid-line sedan five times. The redo for 2004 was as extensive as any the company has undertaken, so few changes have been made for 2005. Because this sedan generates a quarter of BMW's profits worldwide, the engineers in Munich spared no expense in the redesign.
However, BMW's smaller used 3-Series may be the bigger seller. By looking at the original price of the BMW 325i is at RM306,000. The used BMW 325i with year 2007 value is selling at RM288,000. While the original price for a BMW 525i is at RM398,000. The selling price for used BMW 525i is at RM300,000. Obviously, the margin value for BMW 3 Series is much higher compare to BMW 5 Series.
Nevertheless, buying a used BMW does not have to be a risk. In order to have a warranty and specific engineering checks, you can always head to purchase from a registered dealer. For instance, purchasing a used BMW from a registered BMW dealership will provide you the 12 month warranty that will gives you a peace of mind.
Besides that, purchasing a used car from a registered dealership also provides you with the guarantee that the car has been finance checked. Many people have been stung when purchasing privately as they have been hit from finance companies with overdue payments from the previous owner. Car data checks are vital when purchasing a used vehicle as these thorough checks to ensure the vehicle has not been involved in any unrecorded accidents and negate the unfortunate occurrence of purchasing a cut and shut vehicle.
