Someone is selling me a Black 07 328i sedan w/ the sport pkg, 6 spd manual, halo/xenon pkg, brown/red leather, premium sound, and BMW shortshifter for 19,000.

Its got 65,000 miles and I'm guessing out of warranty.


I'm going to test drive it tomorrow, but does 19K seem just right or too high for an '07 328?

Sounds like a pretty nice deal to me

Disagree. Fairly high miles, no warranty, rapidly approaching 5 model years old. Don't forget, that car probably cost what? high $30's? A residual value after a normal lease would barely be that and with a whole lot fewer miles.

Let's put it this way, in trade I'd bet a dealer wouldn't give him anything close to $15k with that many miles.

I just bought a 2006 330i sedan 6 speed with sport package and uuc short shifter and clear bra. I paid 17k for it. 75k miles. I dont think its a terrible deal.

I got a small loan on the vehicle because rates are insanely low. The bank had to look up the value of the vehicle in order to determine their exposure. They valued the car at 19,800 and in my experience banks typically value the car less than what it is really worth.
I think its more important to consider how the car was maintained than how many miles (within reason). 19k is slightly steep in my book but I would say 17 or 18 is spot on.

I also just sold my 04 330i zhp for 17k with 68k miles.....i think that was a fluke thought haha
