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.

Thanks so much for your help with this and for everyone else; you rock!

Queen of the Road: Thanks for the kind words. Our team really takes pride in helping car consumers.  I can definitely look into BMW prices for you. What the mileage of the cars?

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 From Brian: Hello,

What do you think?

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Brian. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2002 BMW 530i with 127,000 miles, prices range from $9,100 (being in above average condition) to $6,900 (being in average condition) and $4,600 (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 $5,000 to $10,400.

What is the condition of the car? The $10,000.00 that they are asking for the BMW would be a fair price if it was from a dealer and in perfect condition. If the car is in good condition you shouldn’t pay more then $9K for it. Make sure to check 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. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service.
