For Sale - The Blue-est 14 plate 435i M Sport auto...... In the world

Lewis Mc · 03-16-2015, 11:25 AM

If you've seen past threads you'll understand why this has happened. So paid for 6 weeks on auto trader and if it sells it sells if not i'll keep it for the year

Please have a read and offer corrections etc , as I pretty much just noted everything off my vin check.

Currently on there for £34k which is the cheapest 435i in 100 miles radius under 6000 driven miles, which i suppose is a little bonus for me,of course i expect haggling so i know i wont get 34K for it.

Good luck with the sale Lewis. Decided on what to replace it with?

Car looks beautiful.

GLWTS.

Again good luck on the sale, it'll be a good buy for someone. I'm sure you will be sorry to see it go but sensible reasoning.

Good luck with selling

Hopefully you get a quick sale, never know might be a new forum member with a lovely EBII 435i bought from you

Hopefully, the only downside I can see is of someone has the cash to buy a 34k car they probably want to buy a brand new one!

magic77 · 03-16-2015, 12:46 PM

Wow that is painful would take a lot for me to sell my 335i.

Stunning car GLWS, you never know with lead times being months plus

MWA · 03-16-2015, 12:50 PM

you need to invest some time in taking better photos

Worth taking some place with plenty even light and decent background.

Have you looked how much to get kerbed one fixed?

I'll have to find somewhere this week when am off, although plenty of light depends on the weather! I haven't looked into it yet but I couldn't imagine it to be that much for one one, or impact the cars price that much that it offsets the repair cost but I could be wrong

Chris Peacock · 03-16-2015, 02:35 PM

Someone paying in excess of £30k for a car will want it perfect, the refurb shouldn't cost much more than £100.

Also agree the photos aren't doing the car any justice, you need some better ones.

As you have identified yourself it's a niche market you are selling into as not many spending that kind of money will want a 2 owner car and would rather deal with a main dealer for a brand new car.

All comments are meant as constructive help, good luck with the sale

True I'll look into the refurbishment, just don't want to get it done then kerb it again haha!
I'll try get better pics this week when am off if weather permits,

I've never understood the too many owners thing, I guess that's people's preference, but hopefully it will sell, if not I'll keep it a year anyway

workshybum · 03-16-2015, 02:50 PM

Looks great. GLWTS. I agree you should take some more pics with fewer background distractions.

Slightly OT, but isn't sport auto standard on the 435i M Sport?

Edit to add: Nevermind, I see it's only standard on 330/335d. Must be the torque.

dopper99 · 03-16-2015, 03:04 PM

What is that gear stick? No sport auto?

What do you mean what is that gear stick? It's a gearstick

And yepp no sport auto indeed, I assume the first buyer wasn't bothered about paddles, such as me

gatsojon · 03-16-2015, 03:20 PM

Only seems like 5 minutes ago you got it Lewis. Lovely motor so good luck with the sale.
