Answer 1

That is WAY too much. It's not a convertible so where is the dealer getting the gall to ask that price? Two owners (extremely undesirable), 9 years old, no special accessories, only 193 horses on a 3500 pound car (slow), and not exactly low miles. Keep in mind that it's very, very old. I'm stunned.

According to KBB, a dealer should ask $14,000 AT MOST. And you should counteroffer with about $11-12,000.

Edit: "jay" -- even if it has 45,000 miles, the car is only worth $15,875 from a dealer. So either way, the guy's going to get ripped off if he takes that deal. Unreasonable no matter how you twist it.

Edit 2: I can't email you to tell you how to repost this so I'll do it here. Go to the bottom of this page and click the New Zealand link. That should take you to Yahoo Answers New Zealand. There you can repost this question and hopefully reach more qualified answerers. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful.

Answer 2

for a bmw that seems alright.

Answer 3

look on kbb.com  for value of car

Answer 4

The other answer is assuming you have 74000 miles, but it looks to me as you have 74000 kilometers.  Theres a big difference, 74000 kilometers is only about 45k miles, and would bring the retail value to about 17000.  

If it is actually 74k miles, then they are asking too much.  And don't worry about it have two owners, as long as the carfax is good, there is nothing wrong with two owners in 8 years.

Answer 5

thats a big time rip off the car is 8 years old, and for 7 more thousand you can get an 03 M3 w/ 35 k on it like, dude don't buy that, i'd say the most to pay for it is 10500
