camaross305 · 01-29-2009, 11:05 AM

This almost brings i tear to my eye. I know we bought our cars to enjoy them etc. But damn thats like a 20k depreciation!!

Makes me wonder if i should have waited. At least i got .9%

WOW!! That is cheap!

monsta · 01-29-2009, 11:12 AM

good job to who ever bought it...

montreal red · 01-29-2009, 11:19 AM

i dont know, thats not really a good deal. i have all the same options as that car except for extended novillo. got it at CAN$69k (US$56.5k) about a month ago. car was brand new. so saving $6.5k is not worth while to me for a car with 7k miles... i'd rather spend the extra $6.5k and get a brand new car.

BMW-NC · 01-29-2009, 11:37 AM

It took me a minute to find out what is so special about the offer....
Then I remembered the original USMSRP.
I'm just spoiled rotten with the military pricing ;-)
On the other hand, compared to German pricing, which would be like what? 70k Euro? Ok, someone got a deal!

that thing says it's had 2 previous owners... I got mine for 53K in October with 7 miles on it. same options -premium sound and I have the ipod adapter,...and 2 extra doors!!!!!!!

ring007 · 01-29-2009, 11:47 AM

Seller is double counting options so deal really looks to be about 20% depreciation on a 1 year old car. Seems about right to me.

Big Windy · 01-29-2009, 11:51 AM

did you guys notice that the seller deleted the 3 on the ///M3 badge on the boot lid? I just saw that...never seen that before.

I would debage it attract less attention

that sounds bout right... i paid 3.5k more for 2 less doors... so i guess we pretty much got the same deal. i have premium sound and the ipod adapter too.

$69 900CAD is a good deal. Does your car have premium sound, ipod and rear PDC? Was $69 900 before taxes?

pepper · 01-29-2009, 01:06 PM

high miles. who knows how they abused it before saying, well I'm getting rid of it...

there will always be a better deal, enjoy what you have

RRGOO7 · 01-29-2009, 01:22 PM

No CF roof hurt the sale price a bit

GT3 Tim · 01-29-2009, 02:30 PM

Hindsight is 20/20 my friend. Just enjoy the car. At least you got a V-style front lip for 1/2 the price. lol

graider · 01-29-2009, 02:49 PM

that is an ugly color combo though, imo i wouldn't get it still cause that is about the worse color combo ever.

Its still holding its value better than most houses!

I am assuming your car stickered at about $65-66k, so you got $13k off a brand new M3 back in October? That would be about $4-5k+ under invoice. Did you go into the dealer with a gun...?

arr0gant · 01-29-2009, 04:57 PM

Most AW/Silver/Black/Blue 1 owner M3's with these options/miles are going for $54k to $56k.

Prolly not a lot of people looking for red/beige with no CF/Moon roof.

Dealer was "really" motivated to move this one.

M3WC · 01-29-2009, 06:23 PM

Well it is red, not a desired color of most.

Plus it is manual.

DCT's are still selling for a premium over manuals.

Yup, you got it.

ismelllikepoop · 01-29-2009, 06:55 PM

i dunno if it's just me but it seems like people here are rationalizing the cheap price. maybe because they paid a lot more for their cars?
