Value a BMW 320ci 2006 M sport cab...

zudecke

Thinking of buying a BMW 320ci (Convertible) 2006 (56 plate) from a friend of a friend. I went to see it the other day and took some photos here: http://www.myalbum.co.uk/Album=EGQEALKZ

It's had 1 lady owner, under 20k miles on the clock, full BMW service history, private plate inc., cream leather interior, xenon headlamps, no marks in the history (i.e. crashes etc) and has been parked in a secure, private garage since it's registration in September 2006.

What do you guys think on price?

There are literally none that meet the spec (as few miles) of this car on Autotrader, but the range for similar specs is between £10.5k and £13k.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Z

My thoughts: you'd be mad to spend that much on any car

the angles and the way some pictures have the lights on suggested to me a 16 point autotrader dealer advert:D while living the dream of on street parking

enjoy but remember its in their way and you have cash
negotiate hard

Daughter has a 2006 320 M sport, 38K, been offered 10k today.

Don't know if thats relevant as it a solid top and not my area of expertise, them sort of figures for a 6 year old car frighten me too.

If the condition is as good as the pics then i wouldn't be letting it go for less than the £13k upper limit.

Similarly i'd be prepared to pay that price, cars like this with provenance don't come up often, if you don't buy it a specialist will and likely get £14+k for it during the summer.

Exceptional car, good colour combination though i think these look best in dark blue, wood trimmings set the beige leather off a treat.

Buy it, cherish it, and get it professionally rustproofed, enjoy something completely different for years to come.

Why do i never get customers like you? :eek:

Heres a link to a much more desirable 330Ci M Sport with just 30K miles from a dealer, with a warranty for £10495. I'd say it could be got for under £10K

Heres a 320Ci SE with just 33K miles from a dealer, with a warranty for just £8990

Another thing i would add is that the newer model came out in 07 and can now be got for under £14K.

The e46 model is getting rather old looking.

If i was budgetting £13K i'd find the extra to go for the newer one.
