Have to say I saw a lovely blue G29 passing me by the other day and thought
I wonder what trade in I would get on the M140i :roll:

Sadly, not as much as you’d think
We sold my mum’s car not so long ago, it was 10 years old had been serviced every year at the main Supplying dealer, never driven in the rain, never used in the winter as she spent every winter in a cruise to Oz and then three months on the Gold Coast .. come to think of it she was away most of the summer as well
Is sat in a heated garage, on a ctek, under a cover for most of its life
It had 6k mikes on it .. in 10 years
Fair enough it was only a Corsa, top of the range though
When the dealer looked at it he said he had absolutely no idea how to value it .. it still looked and smelt like a brand new car .. he said the book value was £600 but that was for one with 96k on it
We ended up selling it to a neighbour for £2k for their daughter as a 1st car
Sadly, the trade just deal in volume and margin and your car will just be valued the same as any other . they won’t give you any more for it than one that has actually been used
