What were you hoping for Dario ? you might get 18Kish with a private sale, no leather or Nav and slightly high mileage is the killer.

Its frightening Surely it's worth more?

ERR yes!

given that its a business funded car (they pay me to make the repayments) i opted to add another £100 a month to the bill to get the car i wanted. so the settlement is £27.8k 2.5 years early.

no pressure to sell, just had a good idea about changing it out for an E70 X5 then i could sell my X5 and have one car less in the fleet.

it was a shock, no wonder they recomend having gap insurance if you write the thing off as that one BIG gap to fill!

it did rather turn me in to a jibbering idiot.

oh well i'll stay as i am, its the only way to go.

PS i was trying to reduce the size of the fleet as i need to get my daughter in to a car, and the cost of the insurance was frightening me!

so its a 4th car now as its the cheapest option, go figure!

I've found that dealers only seem to give joke valuations, I've never had a respectable one. I imagine this is because they aren't interested in the hassle unless there's a big juicy profit to be made.

As an example, I was once offered £15k by BMW for a 2003 545i (this was in 2005), and I sold it for 23k two weeks later. Yes, they're taking the piss, but if you're stupid enough to take their offer, good luck to them. Caveat Emptor and all that...

[dxb335d]

Dario, sorry to hear on the shocking offer.

Keep the bad boy and treat her to a re-map. Be like a new car again with 60bhp more.

[xenon]

I wouldn't dare drive mine without gap insurance.

[FieldingMellish]

I was quoted £17.5k for my oct 2007 E90 320d M Sport (13,00 miles) last week.

[RCUK]

i paid £21k for a 335d simlar spec but with leather it seems from a dealer in jan ... i dont reckon its worth more then £17k now ... mine had 9k on the clock at the time!

Bus pass is cheaper than insurance.

[charliesum]

was offered £20k in nov against a 123d I'd done 12k miles
trade only this week £23k but i still owe 26K!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
335d touring leather + nav but little else on 27k miles
but what do i go to as i do 600m per week???????
and the chequebook is ready for IMRAN!
whatever comes next must have a towbar too

[Swiller]

They bimmers do drop lots, most over half, in their first year or so.

What car verdict...

It is a gutter and seems wrong, unless you buy second hand of course.

Interesting massacre of the English language. I think what you're trying to convey is that dealers are shafting us on prices. Yep, that's what they do and who can blame them. It's their job. If they had brains they'd be bankers!

LO fcuking loud

[Irnbrukid]

Think the milage is also a big factor in the price, not just the low spec.

Well for now, sign up for the Evolve switchable remap group buy) - so if you do sell you can just un-load map and re-use

[PeteJ]

I think at the moment, just don't even think of resale. I agree with everyone who says treat her to a remap and if your spending the greens, then a nice detail job.

I'm on a PCP and i'm already over my mileage however one of those things and at the moment everything is up in the air with financial markets etc etc.

You've got a nice car

[dazzapb]

Try and get a few mores quotes - I ended up getting 10 of them, worse was 19k!!!

I think its the lack of nav and leather and mileage that might hurt it a bit. I sold my 335i m sport with nav and leather (13k miles) 2007. with nav, leather, auto etc to a stealer that seemed desperate to get it for 23.5 earlier this month. it cost 40k ish in may 07 however could have gotten 26 private i think - but hassle! notice its at dealer now for £27850!

[charliesum]

as I said
my dealer has offered me £3k more now since the last offer 4 months ago, I dont have to buy another car off him and I have done a load more miles.
They are really short of bigger diesels.
I am already down for the Evolve group buy and cant wait.
As I do a few miles a week (600) what else could I possibly buy that would keep me so entertained for such money, bearing in mind it must have four seats and somewhere to put a dog and a towbar for watersports which is why I chose the BM over a S or RS Audi due to not being able to have a towbar.
I am sorry if my English is poor for I am but a lowly Pompey supporter.

[Speedtrap]

Just the mileage with any cars mate

[330cdsport]

Thats a shocking drop.

I got 17K for our July 07 320d E91 Sport against the X5.

[creepy coupe]

£22.5k for mine last week, dealer buying for stock, I though that was pretty good, I paid £27.5k last August, I've heard they are desperate for good stock ATM
