Because a bunch of dealers won't accept reality!
I paid 28 for my car with 10k miles and 14 months old at the end of last year - there were dealers holding out for 8k more than that for less good cars.
Funny old world/market.

The cheapest will have high miles and low spec - often no NAV - also full leather wasnt standard and some were sold without. I've also seen some SE's with M Sport bits added which look convincing in a tiny little pic.

I'd have thought around £17/18K for one with sensible miles and a decent spec would be about right for an 05.

just picked mine up from a BM dealer in the south of england yesterday. 55 car 535d M Sport 50k on the clock, full BMer history, serviced, very well presented (I mean spotless) nav pack, media pck. Ok, it's platinum silver and will have to grow on me but what a car - for £20k (ish). 19 inch alloys (Christ those tyres are going to cost!!). I have seen them cheaper but not via a dealer at this spec but hope you find one. I-drive is a bit of a distraction but had a grin from ear to ear on the drive home ......

Thanks

That's good because usually they just take it and give you nothing in return.

I am thinking of selling my March 2005 530d, 59K miles, extended BMW warranty until April 2010, satnav upgraded to perspective view, dark metallic silver (can't remember official colour) & black leather.

Email me if you would like any pics
