Looking for advice

[Juggy]

I have a very good condition 2011 320i in silver but I'm looking to sell it so I can upgrade. Yes, this is my first beemer and yes the bug has bitten.

To add perspective my last rear wheel drive was a 1600 box shaped Ford escort in the early 90's and I've had front wheel drivers ever since.

What should I be asking for the car?

Silver, black leather, parrot bluetooth, auto lights, auto wipers, 121000km's, has 19" Shnitzer narrow/wide replica wheels with almost new Good Year Asymetric 2/3 wheels all round.

Is 145k reasonable?

We Buy Cars offered me 105k which I think is very low. The rims and tyres were 20k

 

[Tjoppies]

sell the rims/tyres seperate for some extra cash ?

You need to give more details.
Is it a exclusive model? Msport?

Perhaps also check you values on this.

maybe check average gumtree prices and put yours about R15k below that, or somewhere inbetween trade and retail for a quicker sale?

i sold my astra coupe a month ago for about R25 000 under market for a quick sale...got sold in less than a week.

Bog standard model, no radical extras.

I also do not have the original rims but was considering swapping my 19"s with the rims of the car I want to buy

Is it auto/manual?

Sadly these cars don't sell that well when priced higher than the norm. Another fanatic just sold his 2010 320i for R105k with lower mileage and more extras. That's just to give you some perspective on pricing.

I don't think the offer from WeBuyCars is bad at all, you would probably get R15k more at most privately.

Thanks. It's a manual

Thank you. So if I sell it to a dealer without buying something from them I should get 113k?

Sneaky Devils, I dislike buying and selling my cars.

Is this a for sale thread? If so please push pictures unto the advert or it will be withdrawn.

 

[Gizmo]

Aggregate, please stop sperming people's threats!
If it were a for sale thread it would be in the correct section. OP is looking for advice.

The advice I offer is to not take Aggregate's advice.

Thank you, my "bullshitometer" filter works too well to have noticed anyway

I think its unlikely that you will get retail value (R145k) for the car.. E90 320i's are probably the most common model available right now on the used market.. so its a buyer's market.

 

[Gizmo]

Im with Adrian on this one, unfortunately the market is flooded with unwanted E90 320i's so you can forget about getting full book value for yours.

As the other gents have mentioned.

If your vehicle is neat, the right buyer will pay the right price, it just might take time to sell. The problem is that the 320i is available in many configurations on the used market, so the price has to be below retail to be sold quickly.

Good luck bud. BTW, what are you planning to upgrade to?

 

[Juggy]

Thanks everyone for your advice, I was offered R110k by a dealership this morning which I think I will take

Looking to go to a 325i
