335i depreciation

[Alrey87]

Yes great car but incredibly impractical. Lot of room in it but as it's a coupe you only have the letterbox size boot opening to get things in through. Hoping s3 sportback is better, kind of like a mini estate. Had a 1 series hatch as a courtesy car and although hideous it had tons of room with the seats down. Birds offered £9800 but deducted 500 for 2 x tiny kerb marks and a small scuff on the front bumper.

Bad luck. Think I would endorse the earlier advice you had and suggest private sale if you're set on an Audi as I can't see them giving you much more than trade price.

recon thats right webuyany car are about £1k from private/trade. So if you bought at 14.5k main dealer the car is worth about £12k at that point. £2k per year is about right, and then dealer margin.

I traded a 58k high spec 07 335i touring for £10,500 earlier this year. It went on a dealers at £13,995 and sold. It was probably rarer than yours but 8.5k seems low.

The problem you have is a 2007 sounds new, however, it is 2016 in a couple of months, so it will be coming up to being a 9 year old car, at that age it is no longer wanted by main dealers, it will always go to auction and that changes values considerably.

This.

Surely £9,300 sounds like a reasonable bid, given you can buy the likes of this for a fraction over £10K

Retail, dealer price is probably between £11,000 and £12,000

Surely it all depends on how long things have or have not been advertised.

It's a big hit but you bought from a dealer and are getting the rock bottom price for it from a place who don't retail old cars with large petrol engines and you've kept it no time at all.
So option is to put an advert up and deal with the calls and weekend tie ins associated with it OR run it for longer /buy a car for £6k and keep the 335i sure more VED mot and insurance but you'll save a mint
