I was offered that one back in December for £18k, albeit even with a private sale there would have been VAT to pay given it was in Guernsey at the time (which I guess would have made it £21.6k at 20%, if that's how it works).
Does look lovely but yes quite an ask!

£21~ £22k would have been strong but palatable anywhere north of that mmmmm.
Out of curiosity I went onto wbac for a price on my car
£16950
My car is Sep 2016 - 35is - they make no allowance for it being a high spec car - I do realise that the price they offer is a commercial buy in price and not a retail selling price.
That’s the £5k / £6k profit margin on what the insurance certificate says its maximum value should be - but well short of the car advertised above. Mine is younger and of similar low mileage but none of the carbon stick on bits.
Just as well i neither want nor indeed need to sell.
I have gap insurance until Dec but next year I will need to address the insurance valuation - they don't seem to consider the spec levels?

Ouch that is very steep, £20k is where that should be

Did you know WBAC are owned by BCA? So are Cinch, the one with all the TV adverts nowadays. British Car Auctions seem to be monopolising the UK used car market. They deal with the sale of every lease car I've had in the last 15 years.ronk said:
I know it's a 35is, but that looks externally pretty much identical to mine with 13k less miles. Mine (N20), a year older, cost £16k less than that 2 months ago.Argyll Andy said:
If BMW had put an M in front of the 35is, I could maybe understand the premium a bit more.
As it was re-registered recently, it has no MOT history. AND they've forecast it as an "investment car"; that seems to be a very common theme from dealers who are overpricing cars ATM. :roll:
What was the RRP when new of that? £35k tops surely?
In excess of £40k is my guess, not cheap these when new and then you have to add in any optional extras.
That lovely blue 35i in the classifieds has the original invoice included as an attachment - just shy of £50k.

I think I’ve got a copy of the invoice for mine is was either a few pounds shy or over £50k
