How much should I sell my 135i for?
2009 Alpine White 135i Coupé
55,500 Miles (75-80% highway) Black Leatherette Black Gloss Trim Manual Transmission (6-Speed) Spoiler Delete Options: Rear Parking Sensors Heated Seats Sport Package (Non M-Sport) ~Clear History Report / CarFax~ What else do I need to add to this? This being my first car ever, I have never sold one either. What should I know? KBB, Nadaguides, Edmunds, etc., show my car as being worth one amount, but what is the demand on these really? I want to get an estimate at what I should be trying to get for it. *This is not an ad to sell my car; however...* (EDIT: I completely forgot about the sport package!)

If you're able to hold onto it, I really would. You're going to take a BEATING on it. You're not even going to get $26k.
You're completely out of warranty and high mileage (won't appeal to a lot of the gear heads), but also almost optionless and no luxury stuff, so won't appeal to the any of the cheap luxury folks. I couldn't find anyone actually interested in buying my loaded up 08 with 20k miles at 26k. Really if you need to sell it, I wouldn't hope for anymore than 25k, just to be honest with you |

This is the plan, at least. I'm only holding off until I get word of getting a build for my car.

I don't know how trade in and taxes work in CA, but i'd probably recommend that avenue if you get a benefit from it for the 1M. out of warranty the bmw dealership will probably give you only a couple thousand less than private party, and hopefully you'd save the tax? |

I'm going to try and sell it for $23,500. Is this a good starting point or should I start slightly more?
While I was at my BMW dealership getting my recall work done, I asked about trading my car in. They recommended me try the private party route. I think trading in would be easier but I am not sure how much I'd even get for it.

Have the dealer give you a price on a trade. In fact insist on it. This will be generally a wholesale price. From there you can ask for a bit more on a private sale, perhaps an additional $1500. You never say how much you owe on it or if you own it outright. This could make a huge difference.

I'd definitely start it listed at 25k and go from there. (edit this post and remove your bottom line ) |

This is also why I haven't said on this board how much I still owe.
