Yeah, me, neither... I didn't do enough research with the first car I bought and regretted it, but so far everyone I've worked with at the BMW dealership has been very straightforward, and based on all the research, it didn't feel like I needed to haggle. I'm going to use carmax as a second opinion on the trade in value and my bank as a second offer on an interest rate, and I think BMW might actually win on the latter and be pretty competitive on the trade in value.

All that said, I'm still a little nervous about all the add-on junk, hoping they don't hard sell that crap... I've heard of people having to say no over and over with the hard sell, but I guess as long as I get the key to the car at the end without paying for super duper leather protectant and extended warranties, it won't matter much.
