used E9x M3 market trend during winter?

exVtekGuy · 12-02-2011, 09:36 AM

Hi, does the inventory of used M3's diminish during the winter month like other sports cars or is it flat throughout the year? Just curious because I haven't seen too many new listings pop up in my area lately.

Winter for the M3 = Good time to buy, Bad time to sell.

Actually, I saw a few come and go last winter. It depends on your area, don't be afraid to travel. You'd be surprised how many people get bonuses at the end of the year and buy cars, or trade cars in. Dealers also go to auctions that bring cars from many different areas, be patient and willing to travel and you will come across great deals.

Last year I saw 3-4 CPO'd 2009 M3s come through VOB in Rockville...

Depends on how many are coming off leases.

The M3 makes a great SUV with a set of 18" wheels and Blizzacks.
