A new G29 is thousands cheaper than half a dozen used ones on the BMW AUC site. There’s a 2 year old first edition at £50k :o
Ouch - I love the frozen orange but not at that money for certain

The first 8 are at money you could get a new one for, when you could order a new one a few months ago :o

    Market is strong for used cars and the top end models seem be holding evermore money :thumbsup:

    I suppose there is a premium for getting your hands on the car you want rather than having to wait for 6/9 months for a new one.

    Each to their own but I have had three zeds now two being ex demonstrators with less that 2k miles and one full price from new. My current 35is was £52k on the road price from new which I eventually got after much negotiation, for £34k at 4 months old with 1750 miles on the clock just over 6 years ago. Not a mark on it. What's not to like? They even gave me full market value for my Crimson 28i as they already had a buyer for it.

    I have no issue in buying pre-reg or one with a few K's on the clock at a reduced price, I won't pay the same price as new for a 2 year old car with 10k on the clock, then its time to wait for me anyway

    I would agree with you on that one.

    The first demo I bought was being run on trade plates and was unregistered. I asked the garage to register it in their name which they did and they claimed the VAT back which they then knocked off the price I paid.

    Main / National dealerships won't do that but smaller BMW independents will.

    No way will I pay over the odds for cars, I will travel 800 miles if it saves me a few £k, some say I am mad but hang on, two days drive and an overnight stay - I don't care I would rather the £1700 I have left be in my bank than buying form a local garage.

    I leased a DS3 Crossback for SWMBO, locally the performance line was £420pm and that basically the next up from bottom spec with 102bhp, I went to Bournemouth and had a La Premiere for £343 and there is no options that can be added to the car also had 155bhp, so saved the best part of £5k for £75 in fuel and a day out plus they gave me £500 more for the 208GTi we chopped in.

    Not sure Ebay can do much about it, will be a genuine account that has been hacked, the account owner probably doesn't even realise

    Im sure some folk already have, had a guy at work falling for it big time on a campervan, he was about to ping a couple of £k to resrve it, fortunately for him he listened to me. It was obvious to me but not him.
