there is a huge discrepancy between dealer price, ebaymotors price and ‘blue book’ type prices, i was also wondering if anyone knew why there was such a differeance.

thank you !!

Queen of the Road: I haven’t got any M Coupes. I’m going to assume you want a coupe for the M3.

For a 2002 BMW M3 Coupe with 65,000 miles, prices range from $21,800 (being in above average condition) to $18,500 (being in average condition) and $15,100 (being in below average condition). If you are buying from a dealer you should expect to pay +12%-14% more than wholesale. A dealership’s estimated retail prices could range from $16.7k to $24.1k.

For a 2003 BMW M3 Coupe with 65,000 miles, prices range from $23,000 (being in above average condition) to $20,200 (being in average condition) and $17,500 (being in below average condition). If you are buying from a dealer you should expect to pay +12%-14% more than wholesale. A dealership’s estimated retail prices could range from $19.3k to $25.3k.

Here’s a simple summary of how all the pricing below is different.

Dealer prices are always the most expensive because dealerships are trying to sell the brand new cars.

Ebay is an auction. You don’t physically get to see the car. The price can fluctuate based on demand. Also, the seller has a pre-set price that bids must hit in order for him to actually sell the car.

KBB prices are all estimates of purchases made. It does not necessarily mean all their prices are the best prices. It’s just a record of how much people are paying.

Our used prices are actual numbers of how much dealers are paying for cars at auctions.

Question: Hi,

First of all, thanks for your help with this.

Here are my inquiries:

2002 BMW 530I , 127,000 miles
2001 BMW 330CI, 89,000 miles

Thank you!

Queen of the Road: Hello there. Is the 530I an automatic or 5Spd? Is the 330CI a coupe or a convertible?

Question:   I am looking at a 2001 BMW 330ci with the following specs–

The owner is asking for $14k or best offer. Is this a good deal?

Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. If you are buying from a private party, you should expect to pay from 5% to 10% over wholesale market. The asking price for this BMW is reasonable, however it doesn’t heart to negotiate a little bit. Be sure to do plenty of research on the car. Let us know if you have any further question.
