Going Rate for a Used Lime Rock M3?
Hey all,
New member over here on this forum, but any MFEST guys will recognize me from that forum. Down to business, I've been tracking this Lime Rock M3 for a few weeks now: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...gIndex=9&Log=0 I'm not sure exactly what LRPs are going for nowadays since all of them for sale will be used and probably inflated, but this car started out at $78k and dropped to $71k last week. It's also been on eBay a few times and never met reserve. Price still seems too high IMO, but what do you guys think is a fair price for this car? I've run searches on the forum and only got info on new LRPs back from last holiday 2012 Also, anybody have any experience with Crevier BMW? I've dealt with STBMW, Center, and Pacific all in the past and was very pleased with my experiences, but I'm getting mixed reviews on Crevier. |

If you can wait a little longer, Im sure once the M4/M3 are getting ready to come out you will see a lot more come up for sale which will bring down the price.

good to know, i haven't made contact with them since i felt they were way too ambitious with their initial asking price of 78k. im waiting for them to possibly drop it below 70k before i make a formal inquiry

What sense does that make? If you want the car and have a price in mind then just make an offer and see what happens. The car may be sold before you work up enough courage to make an offer.

This car will soon find its owner. It is easily worth above $75k and I am not a fan of fire orange, except if it is the whole GTS package. Even a stock paint coupe with only 7k miles and not even one year old will sell near or at $70k. I bet this one won't be there much longer. From my experience those who downplay the price are either some 335i drivers with the almost an ///M prejudice or understandably people in the market of selling new cars who like to see high value put on the next non V8 M3 not the one they cannot make money on anymore. Nothing suprising and understandable. If you want that car, don't listen to other people and get it for the engine first, package and paint second.

Cheers for the advice everyone. I plan on heading over to Crevier this coming weekend, as I was out of town this past Labor Day weekend. The ebay auction ended last night and did not meet reserve once again, so hopefully thats an added bit of negotiation power for me. I have a specific price in mind, so lets see what they say.

LMU, if you want the car, go buy it. And I have to say that I don't agree with sunsweet... At the end of the day, the Lime Rock color is not something that appeals to the masses. That limits your pool of buyers, hence the reserve not being met and the dealer listing the car for $71k and change. And despite BMW charging $5k or more for individual paints, I think they are like most cosmetic mods where the value just doesn't translate to the resale market. If the car was really worth $75k+, the dealer would be asking for it!
Good luck with the purchase!
