I have the opportunity to buy a 1999 528iT wagon with reasonable features, has 28k miles, for $35,000 (before negotiating, if any room). Also comes with remainder of 48k warranty plus 100k drivetrain/electrical warranty. This is a dealer loaner car. Seems ok, only drove it for a few minutes. First, is this a good price? Second, I live in Portland, ME, and while we don't get a lot of snow, I will be trading a 95 Subaru all wheel drive(simply great in snow). The dealer has a set of almost brand new snows with wheels for $600 (from a trade). Just how do 528's perform in snow covered streets, going up snow covered hills, plowing through 6 inches of unplowed streets, and overall handling. Any one with input on price (and what to look out for) and handling will be greatly appreciated. Dealer will also sell me a brand new 2001 for 43k -- is 8k discount worth it?
