135i resale

D135 · 03-12-2015, 05:01 AM

Hey Guys,

Wondering what your experience is with the resale of BMW 135's

I've had mine on carsales for a few weeks, and have dropped the price to be the cheapest in the state. What are your thoughts?

Car is a 2008 BMW 135i Convertible. Stock, other than upgraded wheels and a procede tune.

I am looking at buying a project car, and its been the same 21-22 cars on carsales now for over a month. The prices are dropping and not much is selling by the looks.

In my particular case, I am looking for a very specific car that ticks certain boxes, which is why I am just waiting for the right car to come along.

Many of my clients tell me this is the worst time of year for business. Just after Christmas with Easter approaching, maybe people are saving their money.

Either way, its becoming a buyers market.

In response to your actual question, I have been watching 135i prices fall fairly quickly over the last couple of years. It may have a lot to do with the 2 series, making the 1 series more 'noticeable out of date'. Even though obviously they are a great car.

I think it's all about the options i.e. sunroof, CIC nav etc

When I was looking to buy, I found it very difficult to find exactly what I wanted due to so many non-standard options available in these cars.

I guess if you have a fully loaded 1er, it would make an easier sale
