Possibly selling my M - how to price?

[yahtzee]

List was $68,445. I paid less than that. How do I determine a fair beginning sale price?

[Krueger///M3]

Getting a 535i?

[addy85]

First, how many miles?
Second, any scratches dings, etc.?
Third, DCT or manual?

I'd probably guess 53k-55k depending on the transmission. I checked on a bookout for a trade in value and it came out to 48k (I used 3000 miles and manual transmission)

YOur going to take a big hit, at least 10k id guess.

Okay I remember that thread, I remember it cause he called the 335 motor a TT V6

Back on topic, good luck with the sell

If you like the M, it would save you more money to put more comfortable seats in there IMO

Purchased.

I think I'd put it in an ad for 55,000 considering you will probably get worked a couple grand down from that number. Good luck bro, btw if you want amazing seats I suggest you check out the Lexus ISF. I couldnt believe how comfortable the seats were in that car!

Okay what do you think your going to get for it? If you know what you want to sell it for then why would you post a thread for opinions on where to start

You know new cars resale value get hit the most in the first year, right?

Agreed. "Fair" to one person might not be fair to another. I don't know exactly how much you paid but the TTL is gone (obviously). That's something that you can't recoup. Also, as soon as you drove it off the lot it became a used car so anywhere from $5-7k has been depreciated. Thus I think anywhere from $55k-58k is a "fair" price.

I just bought a 08 E92, 5200 miles for $59000. Fully loaded, with Ventureshield bra covering the whole front/doors/side mirrors. It's 6mos old no dings, and the seller paid $67620.

Tell that to the girls on fifth gear. They thought the m3 was more comfortable than the isf

I would start around 55k also, any higher would probably have a tough time selling. Already enough MT cars sitting around dealers lots that doesn't help your cause. Some people are getting them new below invoice.

mine was a 2008 dct coupe with carbon fiber roof and all options w/ 3k miles with an msrp of $73,895....when i tried to trade it in, the best bid the dealer got was $59k and he really tried. wasn't willing to loose so much so quick just for the principle of it, so i'm keeping it!
