How Much Should I Pay: 2008 BMW 535I
Question From Dan: 2008 BMW 535i with under 30,000 miles with navigation, winter, premium and comfort packages. What would the price be with and without the sports package. Also, what would it be with and without being a CPO vehicle. Thanks
Queen of the Road: Hi Dan. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! CPO would range from about $1,000 to several thousands depending on the car. The prices below assume without CPO…
For a 2008 BMW 535i Sedan Auto with 30,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $31,000 (being in above average condition) to $27,500 (being in average condition) and $23,900 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $26,400 to $34,000. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
