You were right on the money. I will need to negotiate with the dealer.

Here is the offer from my local BMW dealer:

2006 530xi sportwagon
40k miles
amythyst grey/grey leather
premium package
cold weather package
sirius radio
automatic

They want $30,000 with the certified preowned warranty included (+2 years up to 100k). Is this a realistic price for the car?
