Felt like I stole it! Car is in fantastic shape and drives like a dream. Just a very fun engaging car to drive ![]() My son is thrilled with it and now all his buddies want to learn how to drive a manual....but, not on this beauty! lol!!!! Best thing we really figured out when we got the car was that a Dynavin System was put in to replace the OEM Head Unit. They look 100% OEM but now gives us Bluetooth phone, Bluetooth music, navigation and a backup camera!!!!! It's effing awesome and brings the car up to date. Here is a pic of it... |

My oldest is 12 and I tell her she is going to learn to drive on a manual. Thankfully the new civic and the new corolla are offered in a low hp 6mt.
My sister had my nephew drive a manual and it keeps them (teenagers) more attentive to the driving experience and more alert while driving, at least in our opinions.... Selfishly, I hate any and all automatic cars, so there is that as well ![]() |

Obviously the lightly used being the way to go. Heavy used you'll get stuck with expensive repairs to balance out your financial problems somewhat. |

My daughter is on her second E46 325 Vert.
I picked this one up for $7500 three years ago with around 90k miles. Currently they are available all day long for 5-7k with low mileage in 325 and 330 form , unfortunately hers is an automatic. But it's a great car for a HS or a college kid.

Another bonus - my son had a manual transmission car while he was away in college. Many times I hear of kids borrowing cars from others. This is something that does not thrill me from a liability standpoint. Not one of his buddies knew how to drive it. No one ever borrowed it

When I asked him if this was prudent , He immediately laughed and said, it's a Manual and none of his friends know how to drive it. His son has of course been through a street survival class as well as other training but the concern of friends wanting to joy drive it is simply not there. A lot of millennials get a pickup truck for their first vehicle these days, let alone all the auto and DCT matics of newer cars. Finally as an added note. Locating 6MT 330 models can be difficult locally , depending on how well BMW CCA club racing is doing in the area. They is a spec E46 class where the 330 is the spec car that is used. If my daughters car had a roof on it .. I would have traded her back because the E46 is the new E30. These are fairly simple to work on , rather reliable when kept in stock form , and there is a great support network on the internet with E46 forums whether you want the car as a daily commuter or as a race car. ![]()

Why is it surprising? They are essentially 2 years old and it was a $55k car new. A little negotiating maybe $52-53k. Losing 10k over 2 years is actually very little depreciation. There are 2016 M3's and M4s that are down to $48k or so. That's 25-30k depreciation.

Two dealers near me wanted $10k over MSRP last year.
And Let's just say $52k. So $57k out the door. They're asking $41k, so with the same assumptions, you get it for $39k - and that is for a hyped M car that was selling for over sticker here.

Forgot to mention, they're now in the high $30's, and that is the asking price....
In Arizona buying used cars from private parties is a plus because you don't pay any sales tax. This was a huge perk for my 1M purchase.
