Realistically, what can I expect for my car?

[LukeHawk]

Well, Ive put it up on cars.co.za for what, in my opinion, is too high of a price :biglol: to keep away time wasters. Obviously It is negotiable down, I just based the price on what the others were going for, though from dealers not private. So far I've only had 1 hit, offering cash, for less than trade value. So thats great.

Also got a online evaluation for webuycars which was, as expected, rather crazy low. But hey, the market really isnt great right now. And I'm not urgent to sell at all, so I'm in no rush. I'm just in the sweet spot now where What I owe on it is quite a bit less than what its worth (even when compared to webuycars's poor offer), So I've got that itch, and I'm looking for something a tad more practical.

I'll just wait and see if something worth it comes along, otherwise no biggie. Still drives like a dream, and turns lots of heads. Thats the thing about the F30. Its just a 3-series, and a little old now, but its still such a modern and great looking car.

I'd probably consider an offer +/- 210-220k seriously (I cant edit the price of the cars ad), But anything less than that... nah, not yet. Maybe in a year. As others have said though, doubtful that a dealer or something would pay more than 180k.

Just to revive this..

Car is back on the market for real this time.
We buy cars gave me a preliminary figure of R140-160k :skit: ridiculous. I actually laughed on the phone to them.

According to my BMW login page, I should be looking at about R189k trade in value if they deem it as "good" condition, and not "excellent". "Excellent" is at R197k, but I dont see that happening.

Private sales are around R230k +/-. I just really dont feel like that hassle.

Im so surprised about We Buy Cars.. they offered me a great amount for my F20, decently above trade-in value. I wonder what gives..

Try this crowd: https://www.getworth.co.za I’m in the process of selling my car to them. Interesting model, they give you a full buy out price or a lower price and an incentive if the car gets sold at a certain predetermined price within 30-90 days. Longer it takes for them to sell the lower the incentive.

Ola fanatics, If I were to sell my car, what should I do to get the maximum value for it?

Assumptions for achieving max sale price:
1) Return car to stock look, then sell mods separately after (visual mods). i.e. remove boot spoiler, put back chrome grills, put the old exhaust back in, stock rear diffuser back on
2) Get new tires first - current tires probably have less than a year left in them.
3) Do an engine assessment/maintenance if necessary, so I can prove a clean bill of health

Once all that is done, what can I expect from a 320i M-Sport 2013 model with a bit less than 120k on the clock? 19" wheels, xenons, no comments, FSH from BMW.

Auto or manual?

We buy cars offered me R240k on my 2013 F30 330d msport with 80000km and 1 year balance of MP after a full evaluation from them. Needless to say, I'll just keep driving it.
