135i $$ for M3

Made an appointment to get a trade-in value for my car. Only issue is a crack on the passenger side of the windshield. They offered me around $7,000. They said there is no way I could get anymore than 13k for my car. I'm positive I can sell it for more. What do you guys think?

2011 135i 63k miles, 6MT, M-Sport, Navigation, USB/Aux, Alpine White w/ Coral Red interior. Exterior 9/10. Interior is 10/10

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?
