It's a funny thing this car-selling malarkey. With so few of this model for sale, you're never quite sure what price to pitch it at.

Looking at Autotrader, there are currently just two others for sale. One, a 2014 with half the mileage for £27,000 from Sytner BMW (where I bought mine) and the other a 2011 like mine but with 10,000 more miles for about £1000 more than mine.

I'm beginning to think you guys who've suggested I've low balled the price might be right. Have I gone too low? :?

Both other cars are trade, so they will have overheads that you don't like VAT warranty, part ex's etc. I think the Synter one is pushing it a bit and it wouldn't be my money. So the other one is in the same range as yours really, maybe you could of squeezed a little bit more out of it, looking at the pictures yours in a nice looking car and I don't think it will hang around long at that price. Good luck with the sale.
 
I think you’re pretty well spot on with your pricing, you’ve given yourself a little wriggle room if someone wants to make a strong offer close to asking. Just depends how quickly you want to sell or hold out for your ask.

All good here apart from the p!shing rain today :lol:

Hopefully the weather will pick up quickly, especially since you’re trying to sell a roadster in Scotland :wink:

Think the pricing is good, there have been a few people on here looking for a 35iS recently and I am sure a few would have been tempted by yours based on spec / miles / price.
 
I noticed a new advert for a 35is went up on Autotrader earlier this week, a 2015 with 36,000 miles, long options list, private sale priced at £21,000. There are now 4 for sale in the UK.

Mine as you can see is a 2011, 53,000 miles, similar options, priced at £16,950 but with the BMW insured warranty.

There's another 2011 on Autotrader, 63,000 miles, similar options, but no warranty offered, priced at £17,700

Meanwhile Sytner are advertising a 2014 with 24,000 miles and the AUC warranty for £27,500.

Sytner Leicester specialise in this model (I bought mine from them) and although their price looks wallopingly expensive, they'll move the car for good money, probably around the +£25,000 mark. That anchors the market to an extent.

In the light of all of this, I felt the new 2015 was underpriced, to the extent that I was considering phoning the owner and offering him mine plus £4000. :D

I see this morning the price is increased to £22,000, still cheap mind you. Perhaps the owner needs a fast sale or feels Aberdeen is a little too distant from the market. In any event, interesting to note the adjustment.

Elsewhere, looks very much like a tops up weekend, weatherwise... :driving:

I noticed the grey one earlier in the week @ £21k and had discussed it with someone I know saying it looked like a good buy in the current market.

The only thing for me is the mish mash interior colours and I THINK, base stereo. I can’t see any additional speakers behind the seats from the pictures. I really like the external colour and it sits very well with the cream leather, as mentioned the various browns along with it, meh.....

I like your thinking about the offer but if he’s looking for a quick sale don’t see him being too interested in taking a £17k car against it, a £1500 fiesta yes, yours maybe not so much. All IMO :thumbsup:
 
As if by magic, Andy, the advert is now showing "Deposit taken".

It's cheap enough for a dealer to trade it profitably. Wouldn't be surprised to see it back on in a few weeks via a dealership.

Not surprised at all, and the dealer thing a high likelihood too.

Good news is one less for you to compete with :thumbsup: bad news, one less for you to consider buying at a reasonable price :thumbsdown:
 
Now with the service stamps uploaded to the advert.

I've got three photos remaining. Any suggestions you think would be helpful to interested buyers?

If it were me, a picture of the engine/boot and if you’ve got an upgraded stereo of any type a shot of the additional speakers behind the seats.
 
For what it's worth...

The various lockdowns over the last year have meant greatly reduced miles driven and as a consequence it appears that demand for interval servicing is slack.

If your car is due an interval service in the coming months, maybe worthwhile checking out any special offers at the local BMW dealership.

You can expect an updated service history on my 35iS tomorrow :thumbsup:
 
Additional service and BMW Warranty giving any new owner the guarantee of zero short term spend. Hopefully this additional service will make a cracking car even more appealing to anyone looking :thumbsup:
