hello everyone

I have a real quick question and I know your not well you can't see into the future but please give me your input none the less:
How much do you think a 2008 135i BMW will go for price wise in 2010? That is in California... I would hope inthe 20k range but I may be wrong... As well how long do you think bmw will keep the 1series around for?

You'll find that the most depreciation on the 2008s will be seen right now where coupes that had retailed for nearly $40k OTD are going for 29-32k used w/ <10,000 miles. For next year however, I anticipate that the price won't be dropping too much further, probably $25-28k depending on condition of the car.

I've been using 07 335i's (sedan) as a rough reference point since that car is about the same price as ours. 1-series will stay in this market I bet as long as the economy can turn around. I think a redesign is already in the works for 2012.

I really don't think you'll see anything below 25k next year even if the economy continues like it is.
