Well said HASAN ,some people are window shoppers.

I'm hardly jealous lol, it's just he trying to sell a used car and have someone pay for his taxes, AND his travel to pick up the car, get real. If he had to sell the car for hardship reasons that would be different.

SO if you were selling a car and you could get say $50k would you sell it for $47k when you know it will sell at $50k? Would you take $3,000 out of your pocket and hand it over to someone else you don't even know?

If so can i have some $$?

No 1M should sell for under 50k.

Frankly your rude reply to my sincere interest in your 1m, turned me off completely. Also I havn't seen of any used 1m's selling over orig. MSRP, and only a handfull of new 1m's have sold over MSRP. You can ask what you want, but the true market value has proved to be about MSRP for a new 1M! The person with more $$$ than sence may pay more but you gotta find that guy & he's probably not on this forum.

I wouldn't sweat it. The car will sell for what market value is. You should be able to find a used one with premium and convenience packages for a similar price...just wait it out.

Thanks....no sweat here. One thing I have learned (owned over 50 cars), it's a whole lot easier to buy a car than to sell one.

Idk how he replied to you and if it was rude im sorry about that. A lot of the 1M guys helped each other out when we were all looking for allocations.

BUT you have to see where the OP is coming from. He was a car with probably a loan for $XXXXX amount. It probably has taxes rolled in. so he probably does owe more than just what BMW's msrp is. & it's annoying when trying to sell a car and you get offers for $40k on a car that is worth atleast $10k more. & annoying window shoppers who just bitch about the price and thats all. Serious buyers are hard to come by on the forums. Id say 1 out of 10 people are serious buyers on these forums.

That being said the car is not available anywhere. Ive been keeping decent track of the 1M, and i personally can name 15 dealers that sold their 1Ms for $5k over atleast. Another 10 dealers that got atleast $10k over. Most dealers right now are asking 10-15k right now.

And a few 1Ms have sold used for MSRP. BUT they are so rare that it totally depends on the seller. Just like rare cars (lotus) it highly depends on the owners. Many forum guys are asking $53-$55k for a base or only Premium package 1M (which MSRP is $46k-$49k). So there is still a markup. The fully loaded guys are the ones asking $60-$65k.



I PMed a few guys i knew looking for a 1M about my 1M. 9XX miles, fully loaded w/ clear bra. I wanted $63k. to cover my taxes; etc. I had 3 people out of 10 who had no problem about the price. Only reason i didn't sell was b.c the r8 i was interested in from a local dealer was sold before i could put a deposit on it, so im keeping it.

So there are buyers out there for our prices (even on this forum). Shit i know many people on this forum paid over MSRP for there cars from the dealer but won't admit it. Sure everyone paid MSRP even now ... I have a friend at a local dealer and one of the forum members said they paid MSRP when i saw the bill of sale and it was $5k above msrp.

Also understand there are BMW DEALERSHIPS out there that will offer to buy our cars @ MSRP + you get the tax savings ($4k+ in my area) if you buy another BMW, unfortunately there isn't anything from BMW that i want.

Frankly I'm not buying into the numbers you expressed. Based on a previous pole, at this forum, none reported paying over MSRP. In the resale picture the same holds true. The market will determine the value, that being the "buyer". I have no problem with any asking
price, even if unrealistic, but rude/sarcastic comments are what I object to. Back when the lotus Elise hit USA market a lot of similar hype was sterring, indeed those great cars circumed to market conditions, just like the 1m will.

What numbers do you not believe? Lol i know that previous poll. But realize many people came onto this forum to find their cars and than left. Also many people do not want to admit to anyone they paid over MSRP There was many times i called a dealership after a lead was posted on this forum just to miss it by a few minutes and it was purchased by a forum member with a markup. Many of us went thru the same thing. Please don't come in here and think you know what the "true" market is. No one does. Their has only been a few sales. Dealers are asking/getting even more markup now ($10k on avg.). Dealers are even offering to buy back cars that were sold @ msrp.

also i agree that rude/sarcastic comments are wrong but than why do you come in calling our asking prices unrealistic? Who are you to judge our prices? If you don't like the price just don't say anything. Ive looked @ exotics that the seller had a crazy high price. I didn't tell him his price was way too high blah blah blah, i just didn't buy it.

Its funny b.c alot of the people that have a problem with the markups are people without the car. And this isn't an elise/lotus that has current (well not right now) production. This is one time deal. you either buy it now are play with your luck later on. Yes you might be able to get cars for cheap later on but who knows when/if. Shit I still see 03 cobras sell for $25k+, 06-07 STIs for $25k; etc. Thinking the 1M is going to depreciate like a normal 1 series is unrealistic. Even compare it to other M cars. The e46 held its value very well before the e9x m3 came out. Same with the z4m, etc.

You mean this great deal has not sold yet?? Hard to beleive....

[zed3]

Is your call still available?

[LOVEM]

yes it is

[viper176]

Jawad,

Price is fair. Your only challange is that your car has no options, which is limiting the numbers of buyers who are still looking for one. But it is still 1 of 680 in the US.

You should take "RaptorKTM" advice and put it up on ebay and Cars.com

It should sell quickly.

GLWS !
