Interested in 2011 BMW 328i Sedan

bEchev25 · 10-25-2020, 01:57 PM

Hey everyone!

I am usually part of the 1-series forum, but my uncle reached out to me about wanting to buy this vehicle, so I wanted to reach out to get your guys' input.

It is a used 2011 328i with 65k miles. It is a rebuilt title and below I pasted the description of the posting.

My question is:
Is $8000 a fair price?
What are common problems for this car?
What questions should I ask seller?

Thank you!!

I would say high price considering rebuilt title. If it wasn't, then that would be a good price considering the current used car market.

8000 us is too much. Maybe 8000$ canadian.the rebuilt title doesn't help neither..

I wouldn't buy a rebuilt title car myself. At least not a bmw unless it was dirt cheap and not a daily.

I would give a rough estimate of 5-6.5k for that particular car considering the mileage and options. Im sure sone people will give you much lower than that

I'd be more worried about that! An E90 with a V6, how about that.

Obviously a typo, but who knows what other little details the seller isn't bothered to pay attention to. That price is fair if the car didn't have a rebuilt title. Tell your uncle to skip over this one and keep looking.

Nothing wrong with that price. I've seen several similar rebuilt cars in the same range. I would try to find out why the car was totaled, and when.
My f10 was totaled eatlier this year but the damage was 90% cosmetic. Damaged adaptive lights and sensors in addition to bumpers, hood and one fender and a lot of paint work. Car was druveable. iI would have been a great rebuilt pick-up.
Find out more about the damage and who fixed it. I am suspect about any flipper who uses v6 to describe a bmw engine, so if he fixed the car, I'd pass.
