Question From Kynan: What is the going rate for a 2004 BMW 525i at an auction if it is in good condition? Is it worth the price?

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

For a 2004 BMW 525i with 50,000 miles (Average), prices range from $22,400 (being in above average condition) to $19,450 (being in average condition) and $16,600 (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 $18,600 to $25,500.

For 2009 the BMW 5-Series will be redesign, and with that the price for the older model will depreciate substantially. I would suggest you to buy the 2006 BMW 3-Series. It is about the same price for a newer car with less mileage and still under factory warranty. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Queen of the Road: Hello.

For a 2003 BMW 330XI with 72,000 miles, prices can range from $18,000 (being in above average condition) to $16,000 (being in average condition) and $14,150 (being below average condition). I would haggle until I got the price down to $17,850.

For a 2004 BMW 325I Sedan with 50,000 miles, prices can range from $16,200 (being in above average condition) to $14,700 (being in average condition) and $13,200 (being below average condition). Unless this car is in above average condition, I wouldn’t be satisfied until the price is haggled down to $18,000.

So keep in mind that these numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale. Be sure to do some research on the car. Happy New Year and Good Luck!
