Stunning car, but it is some strong money for a private sale, plus the location may not help!
Yeah, its a nice car with good spec and low miles but that's retail money IMHO.

As I have said before though, start high as you can always lower the price but not east to go up :)

Agree completely, my old manager use to say that, you can always lower the price!

Thats the thing, its about what you expect for the car and if you think you can achieve that price, I am sure in a few weeks that will be at £26k or lower as it is not going to get much interest IMHO

I wonder how much of the "I've got to have a 35is " is whipped up by the user groups..certainly it is the way with the Porksters AFAICS..

Always sell at the top of the market and buy at the bottom..
I am certain that plays a part - was happy with my well specced 23i bu now I want a VO 35iS with decent spec but in reality I will not use it or drive it any differently to the 23i :thumbsup:
I’ll take it out every now and then and drive it “differently” for you :evil:

    I agree Ron, you might not expect that sort of money but IMO that’s around where yours would pitched (£28k ish) with a small bit of wriggle room for the inevitable bids that would come.

    The white one is overpriced by £3.5k-£4.5k :thumbsup:

        I agree Ron, you might not expect that sort of money but IMO that’s around where yours would pitched (£28k ish) with a small bit of wriggle room for the inevitable bids that would come.

        The white one is overpriced by £3.5k-£4.5k :thumbsup:
        I think when I put mine on the market - I would think £27.5K with the BMW Dash Cam and Smarttop ?
        A fully speced G29 is about £55k - ask me how I know :rofl:
        You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
        So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

        Yip, I’d be pitching just under £28k with a figure between there and £27.5k in mind with the additional extras left on :thumbsup:
