335i

rjs · 04-21-2011, 04:22 AM

Looking at swapping my car

Any ideas as to what mine is worth - chap at the local car auction said approx 14k?

Spec as per sig, 07 plate, 33000 miles. No mods. Fairly good condition in general. The wheels are slightly scuffed as I attempted to use the car in the snow a couple of years back

but on the whole ok for age/mileage.

I don't seem to have has any cracking issues with the wheels

Thanks

No he doesn't. He's a petrol head he wants a 320i.

I'd be seriously tempted at £14k.

xenon · 04-21-2011, 05:14 AM

£14k would be an auction-type price - a private sale would yield more.

Fox530 · 04-21-2011, 06:02 AM

I'll give you £15k for it

davyk31 · 04-21-2011, 07:26 AM

335i M Sport with 19s, satnav etc must be up around 17-18k I would have reckoned.

scooby-tc · 04-21-2011, 07:34 AM

I'm always too late,I'd have had this like a shot had it been a week ago

I've just bought a less spec'd SE for 15k with higher mileage.It has to be worth around the 18k mark.I'll swap my lightly modded one for it

Dude you're not helping those of us trying to snap up a bargain

rjs · 04-21-2011, 08:16 AM

It's a company car, not quite sure what the fleet manager is going to do with it yet though. They usually just send them to auction.

Been speaking to a garage now about part-ex. They were offering 15.5 & said they would sell for 17+. I don't think I will be doing that deal though, looking at a diff one now.

14k just seemed cheap to me, but that's auction prices I guess.

If it does go to the auction I'll give you guys the heads up - sounds like someone maybe in for a good deal

Hoping to sort out a replacement next month

You got a good spec there mate and miles are pretty good as well. No way in hell should you let that go for so cheap.

I would say over 18k easily. I see 335i SE 06 with same or slightly lower spec / same miles going for £20k at Birds quite a lot and they are selling them like hot cakes. They sold 5 in 2 weeks to put things in perspective.

They would probably look to sell yours at around 21-22k so if you factor in a 2k dealership markup price I would say that's a more realistic price.

The market may be bad for cars that burn more fuel right now but there is people out there who really want these still. Tons of e46 m3 owners switching to it since they heard about the tuning capabilitys. In the last month or so iv seen about 10 people on m3cutters buy a 335i and they are all looking for cars like yours.

Petrol is the only way!

I test drove the 335d & 335i before I got mine. The d was about as fast, and more economical, but lacking in (primarily noise induced) "grin factor"

I'm thinking V8 time, before the ecomentalists get them banned or priced off the road

markymark34 · 04-21-2011, 12:05 PM

Prices of the petrol are going down big time. I have just picked up a 2005 330i SE 52k on it with loads of goodies for 7k!! serious amount of car for the money.

Hi RJS, I could be interested in this but I need to have a car prior to end of May as that is when my 118d goes back.

I am local to you so happy to meet up or even make an offer to your fleet manager direct, save all the auction hassle.

Let me know your thoughts

Regards John

texasjohn · 04-29-2011, 03:53 AM

Oh by the way if you want to PM me your phone number i will give you a call to chat.

Best, John

adz2k11 · 05-03-2011, 06:48 AM

14k is FAR too cheap, i just bought mine for 17K and that was the cheapest around!

I'll check with the powers that be what the situ is.

If all goes to plan I'll get a new car next week, so my current one should be sold soon after.

It's booked in for an MOT tomorrow as well
