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
  1. Yes you should be able to get a solid figure based on when they actually recieve your car. We do it all the time.
  2. Ehhh depends on how much value the car may have lost (which also depends on whether or not accounted for it)
