Please guys, i'm new here and i really need some help, is this a good deal? if there's any response i'll be grateful

Good looking car. Given it doesn't have DCT I'd say it might be a little overpriced relative to KBB...but not positive. Would suggest checking blue book and then search for similar car on AutoTrader and perhaps one other site to compare prices.

Thanks for the advice, It does have the dct transmission and it's fully loaded, guess i will check with oyhther cars online

Seems high, but I am in a different market. For a year older and maybe 5000 more miles you can get into something for just over $52k or so. Something to consider.

Too close to new to be cheap, but too expensive for a used car. I agree with the statement above...find a '12 and save $10K+

[325rider]

Blows my mind that I picked up my 2011.5 e90 for $51k with just 10,000 miles….

Granted, it has 0 options, but I just don't see the value in $15,000 options. It seems for the e9x Ms that the base price depreciates slowly, but sellers dont depreciate the premiums paid for the packages (i.e. you are paying full price for packages and only discounting the miles driven from base price)

Seems too inflated to me. I wouldn't dare spend over $60k for any M3 at 10,000 miles.

I heard the 13s got some cheap plastic visors and things that were not in the earlier years. I would look for a better deal on an 11.5-12 myself.

Saw a 2012 with 9k miles at local BMW dealership Fall of 2013. They were asking 59k for it and ended up selling for 57k, fully loaded as well. I would say 60k would be a fair number(not a GREAT deal since it's too new). +3 to looking at 2011.5-2012.

For real? Anyone else know anything about this?

I would just search in Autotrader for no limit in distance. Find an equivalent vehicle in terms of year, packages and mileage. If there's a significant price difference (i.e. lower vehicles in different area), then offer that price for the vehicle. Just tell them you found another vehicle on Autotrader that is a bit further. If they'll match that price then you'll buy it.

Worst case they say no, then buy a car outside of your area and have a nice weekend road trip home.

According to Siri, its worth 8,314 dollars. Not a penny more.

I wouldn't worry too much about what his virtual assistant said.

I was serious about the cheap visors and such. I don't own one I've just heard it. My 08 had plush fluffy visors with shitty warnings on them.

thanks, i will check it when i see the real car

[david1504]

from what i can gather( i saw on other threads) that the visor difference is due to Euro and US version not year, is that right?

Or another way to go about it:
You can always just ask the original owner what the dealer paid for the car and use that piece of information to negotiate a lower sale price.

Oh I didn't realize he was in Atlanta. You may want to check out M Atlanta on Facebook too. Plenty of us there. He may even be in that group.

I was recently considering trading mine in but decided against it for time being. Highest I was offered was $60k. I have pretty much the same options.

It's all about how long is left on the warranty. That's why the 2012s are so much cheaper I think.

I have a 2013 with almost the same stuff. I'd consider selling for this price to put toward a 2014 4 door due to the kids.
