Convertible sale price in winter?

gholt · 10-29-2011, 05:56 AM

Hi I'm hoping for a bit of guidance/ feedback for pricing up a 3 series convertible for selling.

The car is an 07 plate and in excellent nik with 1 owner, (change of jobs and 2 dogs force sale) but I'm thinking it may be a really bad time of year to sell.

Does anybody have any insight to offer on the price selling now to waiting for spring?

Thanks!

If its an e93 it shouldn't really make any difference to the price surely??

I think if anything you would get that impulse buy in spring...

e93 being a metal folding roof should sell any time of year.in fact buying one out of season-so to speak might be a good time to pick up a bargain.I have an e93 which to my mind is like having the benefit of a coupe and the option of folding the metal roof into the boot on the rare occasions that we see some sunshine,I personally think that the e93 is a nicer looking car than the coupe. gholt why not put up some more info. se or sport, mileage etc. there are some helpful knowledgeable guys on this forum who could possibly help you to price the car for a sale.GLWS.

certainly will if you do not need to sell it..

i would imagine you could lose anything up to £4k.. although i have just pulled that number from my ass somewhat

decent article, if a little obvious: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...sell-cars.html

tough decisions ....but it will have to go -would be criminal to get dogs in the back with them lovely leather seats!

45,000 miles, 2 Door Convertible, Sparkling Graphite, Petrol, Manual, 1 owner, sporty colour combination with coral red leather interior. Fabulous condition with Full BMW service history. ABS, Traction control, Immobiliser, Steering wheel reach adjustment, Sports Seats, electric memory seats, Air conditioning. Xenons, CD, Climate, parking sensors, cruise control, heated door mirrors, traction control, trip computer, service indicator. £15,250.

.... owf so glad I can cut and paste lol

Suppose I will give it a couple of week and revise price if needed, or teach dogs to wear slippers
