Need some advice on purchasing a used 1

SpeedFrq · 01-31-2009, 08:27 AM

Looking for an 08 135i in the NJ area and need some advice.

Theres two in the for sale section that fit my bill but unfortunately I have a trade and would need to go through a stealership. Ive checked Edmunds, AutoTrader and Ebay amd havent found exactly what Im looking for, is there a BMW used car database I could check?

Thx

Why not sell your car out right?

im guessing hes not because of the same situation i am in as well.. its harder to sell a used car outright with how the economy is going and being able to get a bank loan easier for a new car then a used car..

thanks for tips all. There's a few cars out there close to spec that I want but Im not going to settle so no rush...

yeah from experience the whole selling privately is a PITA so would almost rather pay the extra to trade it in on the 1'er.

Im seeing 08's listed privately for around $32-35k with only a few thousand miles on them. Makes sense to me...

yeah im not in a rush either, but i dont know how easy it will be for me to find the 1 in my specs.. best of luck to you
