Potentially selling E60 M5. Looking for prices

[Boogsie]

So the prices of M5s are plummeting, and I'm considering selling mine.
I am in no hurry, and if the prices are too low I'll keep it, but I'm curious, and also ready for a change.

My biggest problem is that I've spent a lot of money on the car in the past year, and I'm wondering if I can get that back...

So the car is:
Silverstone Blue, full black leather (lovely...) with alcantara roof lining, TV (useless), comfort access and all the other standard features.
70K miles with a transferable mondial guaranty.
@65K the clutch was replaced (£2k?)
@69K the brakes were replaced all round (£1300)
@69.5k the rear tyres were replaced (£500, contis)
all 4 wheels refurbed in June.
Full BMW SH.

Bad points...
It was stolen last year and recovered. All repairs (locks/ecu bit for locks/window etc repaired by BMW at a shocking!! cost)
There is road rash on the front bumper and a bit on the bonnet
Someone has recently opened their door into it
BMW quoted £1k for the paintwork/repairs, but I haven't gotten around to them yet.

What is it worth given that the 2 biggest expenses have so recently been carried out? And that it has the two price changing options of comfort access and full leather?

All opinions welcome

The work done to it Boogsie is a major selling point.

Some will be put off by the stolen-recovered aspect, which will undoubtedly lower the market value of the car.

(I speak from experience, having gone through much the same with an R32....sold it quite easily though to a young guy in the know for a wee bit less than I might otherwise have got)

What year is your car?

Sounds very interesting to me, I love these things.

I moved to an F10 and am still not sure I did the right thing, really miss the mad V10.

56 plate, september 26 if I'm understanding this translation


Here's from the Russian VIN decoder. The only difference is that the CD changer was removed and an iPod interface fitted by BMW.

If this makes any sense, here's the russian output.

£16-17K..... dealer would have it up at £19995.

Good luck....and do think about keeping it, it's a stunning car, an all-time great!

Having recently sold mine and knowing what buyers want, the work you have done to it will make it very ideal in their eyes,but again as something I found, most people tend to buy to enjoy for a very short time and sell on right away, with the Cat D on the record it's hard to put a price on it. Maybe around the £16k mark private, trade would offer you alot less.

One dealer offered me £8900 for my car and it was a straight HPi clear car,but lack of service history. It got sold for approx 40% more than that with a crunching noise coming from the gearbox..

Is it recorded on VCAR?
