Manual transmission

Mileage:25,853
Buying

Dealership asking for $28000, certified pre-owned

Queen of the Road: Hello! Welcome to AutoBragBlog!

For a 2006 BMW 330i with 25,850 miles, prices range from $27,800 (being in above average condition) to $25,500 (being in average condition) and $23,200 (being in below average condition).

Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $25,500 to $30,500.

$28k is an ok price. Not a “deal“, but it’s the expected price from a dealership. I would try and bargain down to wholesale prices otherwise I would never pay retail price. If they won’t budge with prices, just walk away. Have you tried looking online for private sellers? Majority of the time, they offer their cars at better prices. Try Craigslist or AutoTrader.

If you do end up buying from that dealer, be sure to do plenty of research on the car if you do decide to purchase it. Don’t hesitate to bring a trusted mechanic with you.  Let us know if you have any further questions.

Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes. If you need help with any other cars, come back and ask. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.
