330i Trade-in Value ?

in13 · 01-04-2009, 10:38 AM

Went to BMW just look around and for the hell of it got them to give me an estimate on my vehicle's trade-in value.

I have an E90 330i (2006), steptronic, sports, premium, cold weather, navigation, premium sound, and 47K miles on it. They do need new tires, I had the front bumper completely replaced (no other damages) after someone back into it in the parking lot, and maybe a few paint chips on the hood. Other then that everything is in great condition (knocking on wood).

They estimated my vehicle at $15,300. Kelly Blue Book says $19,200 for "good" condition and $17,250 for "fair".

I guess the reason I'm posting this is because I was wondering if people could give me a better idea of what my car is worth. No way I'm trading it in for $15,300.

KBB is a joke....

I would say your looking at about 17K for your car in private sale....

the high miles means almost no warranty.....thats a killer
