I now have about 4 thousand more miles on my trade-in and my 135i is approximately 3 weeks out.
I believe I can get at least what the dealership is going to give me if I sell it on my own..........I'm afraid they will try to give me less than initially valued in May and I can't take less.

1 Shouldn't the CA be able to give me an accurate number now ??

2. Do you think the dealer would lose the sale if I refused to take less ?

Thank you for your advice
I was worried about this same thing when I traded my 04 Explorer so I pre-traded the vehicle before delivery. Only really an option though if you have another vehicle to drive. Good luck on your trade!
