This time tomorrow....

This time tomorrow the Porsche Cayenne should be gone and I'm coming back to BMW in the next few days....



Having decided on a 335I, could any one advise on what I should be paying for a 56 plate, 10k miles, black dakota leather, Professional Nav, Bluetooth & telematics, DAB Radio, PDC front & rear, voice control, sliding armrest & storage package.

Not OTT spec but good enough for what I want...

I know the term only worth what I'll pay, but any ideas on what it's worth roughly??! So I don't go in completely blind...

Cheers in advance....

Well I was buying this one...


This is the car, year old with 10k miles on it.......

Black on black with....

Adaptive Headlights
Armrest. front with sliding adjustment
Automatic transmission and paddles
Black trim. high-gloss
Bluetooth phone prep + telematics
CD changer
Comfort Access
DAB digital radio
Elec Fold Exterior Mirrors
Extended storage
Hi-Fi Sys Prof DSP
Xenon Headlamps
High-beam Assistant
Leather interior
Navigation-system Professional
Park Distance Control front and rear
Auto-Dim Interior Mirror
Elec Fr Seats + Driver Memory
Rain Sensor
Dynamic Cruise Control
Extended Interior Light Package

And we agreed on £25k, but the another sales guy went and swapped it with another dealer for a car he wanted. The sales guy who was dealing with me was very embarrassed and tried to find for another one.
Couple of weeks back he found me one witout nav for £22k, with 12k miles and a manual one for £21k.

My local dealer in comparison want £25k for a car with hardly any spec and no nav.


What are they asking for yours??

[berry100]

they're asking £20k done deal.

[playerone]

Bloody hell thats cheap. A 335 with spec was £37k ish new.

[berry100]

Quite cheap but considering my Cayenne 56 plate with high spec is only going for £20k, not cheap enough!

Crikey ! Where are you guys seeing these deals ? On the Approved Used BMW search thing there's nothing under £25k for a 335i ?

£20k sounds like a good deal mate, I would say go for it, a stunning all round car.

Private sale....but just been stuffed today cos the chap who was buying mine has suddenly become uncontactable for some reason even though he spent ages haggling then wanted to pay almost immediately at the time, must have decided not to buy which slows me down on the 335i....

Don't know why he couldn't just ring and say he doesn't want it anymore...maybe he's scared but it's a bl%%dy inconvenience!!

Bummer about your sale, hope you get it sorted.

Thanks for the info on the 335i - I take it you found the seller on Autotrader or some such ?
