how should i price my 128?

shapedbyolivia · 12-02-2022, 01:30 PM

hello all. i have a 2011 128i basemodel slicktop, black on black and manual i’m looking to sell(to acquire a 135 lol) i’m having a hard time putting a price on it even after i look at what they’re being sold for in my area. i had it posted for 11.5k with both sets of oem wheels(the summers being the csl style rims) but kept getting literal 4k offers on it. it’s super clean imported from tennessee only here for in canada for a single winter (i had a winter car to drive instead of it) but seriously it seems like next to no interest. is my price too high? it has 208,000kms n all the huge maintenance no one wants to take care of is done. maybe i just need the right person to come around? hoping somebody can help me out with this. thanks for reading!

I haven't seen your listing, but presentation and details really matter. You may already have that, but lots of pictures in good light, complete list of features and options (use a VIN decoder), maintenance records, etc.

Well, since this is your first post here, you have obviously not listed it for-sale here yet!

That would be a good start! I've purchased two from ads here.

Is that price in $CAD?

Don't sell. Add.
