E89 Market watch

Title of this long running thread is "E89 market watch" I simply added to the general subject, not aimed at anyone :wink:
While in my view it's the best priced and spec'd one on there at present I'm not really up for giving it away... :rofl:

Fair enough. I got confused with what thread it is! :oops:
 
Yes I've just agreed a deal on Zed #14 so the E89 is back for sale and this time with a new battery and 2 new rear MPS4S tyres :thumbsup:

There are 18 on Autotrader all prices to choose from.

How many left lists 398 licensed and 17 SORN..... Hence it's sort after as it's quite a rare car. (If it had an M on it prices would be ridicules)

25 35i on AT too to add to your search :thumbsup:
 
Obviously they are all good looking but if you are after a red MSport version this is currently the cheapest on Autotrader and I doubt there is a better spec'd non-iDrive model available that is as sorted as this :thumbsup:

What are peoples thoughts on this one? Very low miles but quite basic in terms of equipment. Is it a tad pricey given the equipment level or about right?

Pretty basic spec bar heated seats and PDC…paying a premium for both low miles and a dealer…

I think PDC sensors and heated seats should be treated as a given on these cars, shouldn't they? That makes the spec even worse.

They do come fairly well equipped as standard though to be fair.

I'd happily have an e89 M sport with PDC F&R, Heated Seats and an upgraded sound system.

Leather, Xenons, Nice wheels and other bits are standard anyway.

Just for context; I have a 2013 car with the same mileage and a better spec. I would expect to get around £10k for it at present as a private sale. It's not for sale BTW!

Understood, lol.

I'm a bit nervous of private purchase. Maybe because I've never done it. Something I need to overcome, I guess

If it's because you think you may buy a 'lemon' then an RAC or AA inspection can help immensely. Will still be a lot cheaper than paying dealer premiums if you don't have to (finance px etc).

If you buy a car with a BMW insured warranty you will have a good level of safety.
The warranty requires a proper / verified service record and is transferable to a new owner.

It would certainly reduce the worry factor for me!

My car is £23k trade in value and circa £29k dealership selling price and a bmw warranty- if I was selling it privately you would be getting nothing less than a dealer would be offering?

Ie fully serviced , with a history and a warranty!

Ps not selling!
 
If you do buy privately, go to the garage that serviced the car and ask about its service record and any remedial work done - They will probably want to continue with your business and give you a potted history.
