Looking at a 2011 E92 M3 ZCP
9996 mi. 6-Spd AW w/ Fox Red interior Carbon FiberTrim Competition Pkg Tech. Pkg Convenience Pkg Cold Weather Pkg Premium Pkg 2 All other options minus Auto high beam, Rear Sunshade... EDIT: Does NOT have premium sound. Dealer is asking $64,790... I plan on trading a 2005 M3 with 68K on the clock. It has everything but Navigation and ZCP. Not sure what type of budge I may be able to get. KBB is only a couple thousand less, but I know that is only an average. Thoughts? Thanks in advance...

Seems pretty high to me. A brand new one would be just $5K more MSRP, and it would be equal in price (via discounts) to a brand new one from one of the trusted forum sponsors.

That's exactly where my head is right now, so im in hopes that playing that angle will help. I could easily go to my local dealership in VA and order one and not pay much of a difference. I suppose we will see what happens when i get there. |

Doesn't matter ultimately what they sell the new car is. All that matters is the difference between the trade-in value and the purchase price. They could give you an awesome price on the purchase but screw you on the trade-in. Only consider the differential and not the absolute numbers.

I'm picking up a nearly identical car tonight, the only differences are: 20,000 Miles vs: ~10,000 Miles Black Interior vs: Fox Red DCT vs: 6 Speed Not sure if yours is CPO, but mine is so thats the remainders of the factory 4yr 50,000 mile + an additional 2 years up until 100,000 miles. My price is $58,000 - the dealer was asking ~$65,000 |

You could pay even thousands less than the car you're looking at for a brand-new model via European Delivery. |

I got the same rate through my credit union, but they were requiring me to do 8 electronic transactions per month. They aren't my main bank, so i didn't want to take the risk of racking up penalties over the years. The dealer got me 3.39% through bank of america, I chose to go with them for the sheer convenience and no minimum activity

I'm loving the car, I've yet to take it on a back road. Just the morning drive to work, but it is definitely an upgrade from a Z06. A little quite for me, but that will be fixed soon. DCT in S5 is phenomenal, I am glad I talked myself out of 6MT |

For the price your dealer is asking you are in the neighborhood of a new m3 from Ryan Amico or David Aviles. Why not drop one of these guys an email and then have your car built up. I would just drop that dealer.
Get the new car...you'll be happier and sleep better...no regrets.

Good Advice. Called David today and he was very straightforward with he pricing. I will probably be ordering one. It also doesn't help that I checked out the car and the salesman was unprofessional and seemed very aloof and not knowledgeable whatsoever...

The way I see it, DCT is one of the defining aspects of the M3 and it is one of those options you just need to get. Try to drive on and really get on the gas and shift - although that is not how you'll drive everyday, its amazing what the car can do. |

UPDATE
So after further consideration, I am planning on purchasing a brand new E92. The used car market is very strong right now and you guys were completely correct about the new car pricing vice settling for a used one. Thank you to all for all of the great advice!
