E46 value

[pomp1]

Hi

Im thinking about selling my bmw to have my mums 996 so need to know whats the rough value at the moment?
Its a 53plate 325ci in silver with 50k on the clock.

Many thanks

£5500-£6k dependant on spec and Service history. That is a trade figure IMO. You may get offered less for outright purchase.

leather, sport or standard model, what extras, when and where has it been serviced

its worth between 2k and 6k dependent upon these answers

Even delivered on the back of a lorry with the front end caved in a 2003/53 325Ci with 50k is worth more than £2k. I know times are hard etc etc but soem of you guys are ridiculously pessemistic!

[bennno]

if its unmaintained / no history / scratched up / smoked in / damaged / horrible colours then thats probably a trade bid

if its FBMWSH, perfect, decent colours its probably £6k

He's thinking of selling it so what a bunch of dealers might pay for it after they've sucked air through their teeth isn't relevent either.

Privately it's worth what, at least £8k?

You really are a cocktard of the highest order. He asked for a value, I gave a trade value basing it on the bare ninimum of details given. How have you arrived at £8k you plank?
Is it a Sport?
Is it a convertible?
What spec is it?
Auto/manual?

You really do need a kick in the !!!!!!!

wtf???

I own a 2004 53 plate 325 Ci Sport in Immola - 53k and immaculate

Cap trade on this was £11000 in April of this year

I'm acutally looking to trade it now against a 996 and will be looking for at least £9.5

Where do you get a figure of 6k from?

Are coupe worth more ? I see some on is expexting $9.5 for a 53 plate coupe with 53000 miles, is he in for a shock.

Also as petrol has come down to 97.9p do you think big ( 2.5 is not that big ) petrol cars will slow in there value free fall.

Generally, Coupes are worth a little more.
I can't see anyone getting £9500 as a trade in unless the dealer has a massive margin or it's against old stock.
I am not sure that it is just the cost of fuel that is affecting prices. I feel it's more that no one is buying. Everyone is scared witless.

[Ment-Al]

Offered £6k on my '53 318Ci Sport on 73k miles by BMW main dealer. I subsequently sold it for £7,500 privately so I would suggest around those figures would be correct?

You won't get £9k i wouldnt have thought.

Sorry but for the £6k being quoted here I cant see anything worth replacing it with. Thanks for the offer, it is always good to here at least someone would buy your car.

I suspect it's a 325Ci SE or Sport, I doubt it's a cab as he'd have mentioned it. Given that *most* 325Ci's are Sport's, I made an assumption (You made assumptions also, gues what, its allowed) that it's a 325Ci Sport. Now a low mileage 325Ci Sport on a private sale might reasonable be expected to fetch a tad more than just 6 grand.

Calm down. It's the internet and somebody has given a different value on a car to you. I've not robbed your TV or slept with your girlfriend. Lets get some perspective. I'm no more a 'know it all' than yourself.

You are entitled to your opinion on me but is there any reason to be so downright offensive other something as pathetically petty as the value of some blokes car

To be honest if your value is correct then mine isn't far off, is it? The trade dont buy cars at private sale value so private sale value is always going to be 10-30% higher depending on the car surely?
