Trade-in price of F30 320d only R110000

The best car for resale value, at any price point, and low maintenance costs would be a Toyota Fortuner.

Is it still a high risk car? wonder how is the insurance premiums of a Fortuner:fencelook:

High risk = great resale.

Sad but true...

If your mind is set on changing, why not look at a model that will not depreciate as fast?
For around half the cost of your G20 quotation (around R400k), you can get a 2016 F30 330d, which is significantly better than the 320d you have, yet affordable, and which will not depreciate as fast. Then, if you can afford the installments, R800k will get you into a in a slightly used 2017 RS3 sedan, which I guarantee will not depreciate as the 320d will. Keeping it in house, I saw a low mileage ( under 30k) F30 M3 competition sport the other day for R780k, which will also depreciate less than the 320d. Except for the fuel savings, both cars will perform and drive way better than the 320d. Yep, maybe not the greatest choice as daily drivers (but why not!!). There are several good BMW X3/4/5/6 models up to that mark, with at least 3 years of plan left, which can serve as daily drivers. Ultimately, there are so many better choices at the R800k mark - driving one of these would make the G20 owners jealous when they drive past you!

Considering the guy seems to do an actual truck load of mileage every year. I don't think the likes of an S3 or M3 are the way to go. They'll depreciate faster than a torpedoed ship with hectic mileage on them.

330d would be the way to go if you really do wanna buy something different. But by all accounts your 320d is looking after you. Don't sell it. I have massive regrets selling my E60 530d 2 years ago. It was paid off, also had like 235k on it but there really was nothing wrong with it at all. But I got a bee in my bonnet for something newer/different. Now I sit with car payments and a car I don't enjoy as much.

Keep the paid up car. It's the best way to go!

I decided I am keeping the F30. It's been extremely good reliability and like I was told previously on the thread, it will be better to wait for the G20 to depreciate then buy 1 in a few years after saving up some money for a big deposit. I have gotten some really good advise from this forum and I really appreciate it.

Glad you keeping the f30 bud , heard very good things about the G20, however that price tag but I guess all cars are getting more and more expensive, I have to say I’m quite shocked at the trade in price I expected these cars to atleast be abit more around the 160k mark at the least, however no offense but means good news for guys like me looking for f30 320d’s at a good price :smilebounce:

This is what i would do, save the money you would be spending on a new car. Provided that money is being saved and earning interest ( or reducing interest and capital in a bond) you're golden.
