What would you value this at? Just ballpark numbers. Going to a friend so want to be reasonable but can't find a source to value it anywhere!


BMW 318ci Coupe
December 2002
80,000 miles
2 previous owners before myself
Metallic Grey which scrubs up well
Full leather in good condition
6 CD changer
4 new tires
4 recent pads and discs



Thanks,

Not very good at BMWs, but maybe three grand?

That was the region I was thinking to be honest.

£3k in the paper; mates' rates £2,500.

Is it sport or SE? Manual or auto? If sport try £2500, SE closer to £2k

Parkers would be a source:

Franchise Dealer £3,300
Indy Dealer £2,800
Private good £2,700
Private poor £1,950
P Ex £2,250

I wouldn't want to pay more than £2k for it.

I'm not saying that is what it is worth but I'd ideally be hunting down one with 6 cylinders at more than £1500.

I'd say closer to 2k.

I've been looking anyway and 318s seem to go for at least as much as the six-cylinders... £2k will get you a 50% higher mileage, year 2000 car that at least superficially looks clean (before haggling anyway).
