Long story short, I sold my 07 RWD 328i with 130k km for 12.5 while similar AWD and/or Auto 328i were advertised for 6-8 k.

Sent several people away with "go buy the auto then" until the right buyer came along.

There's a difference between selling a car as a business and as a person. You have lost sight of the person-to-person market, which is ok, but the OP is not a store.
Actually, it is 100% accurate and it is what people are paying for them.
The OP's question was in regards to his trade in value, meaning trading at the dealer and I gave him data and my opinion. If the OP chooses to sell the car himself, then yes, he will get more for the car. Are you always this dense?
