Do you guys think that the fair price for a used E92 335i? It's Monaco Blue/ black, sport package, Rear PDC, Steptronic and no Nav oh and at 13,576 miles?

[saosinned]

no that's too high. i just ordered one with more options (no pdc, yes nav, yes ipod and yes heated seats) brand new for slightly less.

unless you're speaking in non USD, then possibly

I paid... brand new with everything but active cruise and heated seats. 51k out the door. That is not a good deal for you.

Yes I'm talikng about USD not CAD ;-)Hmm i think so too, but wonder that price just dealer's price they may come down a bit when we're going negotiate. I think they're high cause the dealer intent to sell for someone dont want to wait then they can have it right away on the spot. And maybe it's high cause the color (Monaco Blue)?? But 13, 576 miles is a lot

well just the fact it's used at all means you shouldn't be paying comparable prices to new cars with the same options. generally when you buy a new car it loses a good chunk of value the second you drive it off the dealer's lot.

That is true, however real world, you are talking about two different figures.

When you are buying a used car you are paying retail, however what the car is worth trade-in is lower.

Yes it drops as soon as you drive it off the lot, but that is trade-in value, From a retail stand point, it does not depreciate nearly as much.

Also remember that part of the amount that you lose when you drive it off the lot is sales tax (depending on state) and first year registration & licensing fees, which does not play into depreciation from a retail stand point.

Good thing is I live in Oregon so I dont have to pay sale tax.

true. but still the 48k is pretty much equal to a brand new car so there's almost no reason to purchase at the 48k price. i mean that car built like that on bmwusa.com is actually less than 48k (not gonna check that but im like 99% sure).

and most important with 0 miles right? BUT you have to order and wait for like 3,4 months and that time the M3 come out

That's too much. I paid that much for my car and it's 25 miles with NAV.
