Yer I'd like a 335i but justifying it to the wife whilst I'm still at uni just wouldn't happen!!

The economy and £30 a year tax on the 320 makes it quite attractive.

Sound it out on here first as I am sure there would be interest ;) part ex would be bottom limit with no haggling.

Yer think I will stick it up here first. Keep your eyes peeled for the thread :)

£500 mate. You`ll get that off the new car not trading it in tbh.

If you don't mind getting insulted then ask them. It'll be peanuts though.

How much do you want for it though? :p

Precisely!

More than they offered think Id take £1500 from someone on here gonna stick it up for £1750 on pistonheads/ eBay.

Got to ask them first mate for a valuation. Strong arm them that you need them to take it or you cant go ahead with the deal and that you want £1500 for it.

They'll start as Red most likely said at £4/500 - but they will be all over you like a rash at this time of year. Before I settled on the beemer for the Mrs, I had dealers ringing me from all over the place and they changed their px valuations by over £500 blind over the phone just to secure a deal...and I include BMW main dealers in that. One I was looking at was a 12 plate 328 lux saloon up for £23K. My px valaution went from £7,500 to £8,600 in 2 days.

Another slightly more complicated option would be to find someone here who'd pay £1500 for it, but needs to sell theirs first. You then px their car in against your target car and you're all happy.

Opted to just put down a deposit then I'll sell the car privately or even break it if theres no interest.
