I'm considering moving my 35is on. I absolutely love it but I am not using it that much of late due to a bad back. It is a forum car and I bought it from a member here in 2018. Some of you may remember it:
viewtopic.php?f=41&t=102075
Pro Nav, heated seats, electric mirrors, cruise control, comfort pack etc. Still on the 326's and no cracks. Recent major service and full BMW paper work. Now on 66000 so I've only done about 3300 a year in it. That makes for expensive motoring what with £360 road tax plus insurance.
I will see how I get on with my back these next few weeks. If it doesn't get better I will sell it. I reckon it should go somewhere between 18-20k, what do you think?

Sounds about right to me judging by others for sale. The Melbourne red is a nice colour so could be more desirable.step_change wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 5:16 pm I reckon it should go somewhere between 18-20k, what do you think?
If you can sell any car after 3 1/2 years for the same as you bought it for, that is not expensive motoring, that is just running costs.step_change wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 5:16 pm That makes for expensive motoring what with £360 road tax plus insurance.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Yes mate, I kept it going (monthly payments). Yes BMW FSH, not that much cheaper going to indy so I took it to BMW. If I do sell it I will put it up at £20k. I had a look on autotrader, I can't believe the megabucks these - and most convertibles - are going for now! Wow.

Not critical, just my opinion, so technically not got a warranty but the ability for the new owner to continue one if desired (so additional cost to new owner)step_change wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 9:21 am Yes mate, I kept it going (monthly payments).

When typing my original post I was initially thinking £19,000 with a deal somewhere around £18,500, now because ability to purchase warranty £19,250 with a small amount of negotiation available selling close to either side of £19k.
£20k in my opinion is a touch too high and may not generate much interest as it starts with a 2. Whatever you decide if it was me I’d keep it under £20k the higher priced ones aren’t selling.

Yes good idea about keeping it below a 2 . I am not selling it as of now, just yet anyway, just wondered what my 35is might go far in the context of the market watch conversation. I may sell it in a month or so unless I start to use it more.
Not sure what you mean mate, "so technically not got a warranty"?? It has the BMW extended warranty that I pay for monthly. I had to use it once to replace the oil filter housing. A new owner could take on that warranty - which I'd suggest is almost mandatory for one of these cars. I suppose what you mean is that they will not have the warranty that I have paid up front for and they will have to sort it out themselves?

Yes, that’s what I mean, it’s not got a warranty for the new owner because you pay it monthly whereas quite a few that have sold recently have had an annual pre-paid warranty which is transferable, at no cost, to the new owner for the period remaining. My 35iS that I sold recently had 7 months, excess free, warranty remaining on it and I factored that in my ask.step_change wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 10:52 am Yes good idea about keeping it below a 2 .

I agree, I wouldn’t buy one of these either without a warranty or the ability to take out/continue one which is why I asked my initial question. It doesn’t reflect on your car just the price point. A similar car with 11 months remaining warranty would fetch slightly more than one without or on a monthly plan
Only other thing is if you’re leaving it at least a month or so you might be missing the high point of the market, all IMO
