Priced over the odds?!

[CHIGS]

What do you guys think?

High spec, low mileage and still within the dealer network. It'll obviously command a premium over a private sale or non-francised dealer car but that does seem kinda high.

E46 M3 prices while they are still on BMW dealers forecourts seem to have prices picked out of the air.

Hey Mike - thanks! I thought as much considering the prices of others I have been looking at! I currently have an E36 M3 Evo and think it's time to update it!!

I will go with the cheeky bid and see what happens! this one ticks all the boxes for what i am looking for!! Only thing is that i need to sell mine 1st!

Shame about the wasted journey for you but at least this way you had a decent run in the M back home!

Put it like this, if you didn't like it and wanted to trade it back in a couple of months they would offer you book price for it, which is £14500 for it.
Most other dealers would offer bottom book which is £13500.

So yeah it is well over priced. Needs to be about £17k retail.

or you could go for this...decent spec, nicer colour in my opinion!

Not all dealers are having difficulty shifting M cars

Hey guys - so I went down to check out the car and I was NOT impressed!!!

There was loads of scratches and scuffs on the exterior as well as a very poorly looked after interior! Especially cnsidering the car has only covered 21k!! The back of the front seats were scuffed to bits (obv kids) and where the previous owner had used a wind deflector they had also damaged the rear quarters!

This was as the car had been brought in and will be going in to be prepped on mon but I doubt I will be taking a 2nd look!

As much as I love to see cars 'pre prep', that sounds rather shocking for a dealer car.

Must be the usual greedy maindealer who did their sums but did not truly inspect the car.

I agree. Reviewing the condition pre-prep is ideal. If the car looks good then it has probably been looked after well. If the car is unmarked pre-prep (after 2yrs and 26k miles as mine was) then that probably indicates an owner you would like to have had the car! The example here sounds like the body has been abused by an uncaring owner. Probably true of the engine (no care before oil warm and cool down before turning off) and who would want that?

Walk, I think overpriced even if in good condition!

Looks about the right price for IR to me. Lovely colour combo
