Mark, I'd say trade in value £26-27k, user dealer sale price will be £32+, approved dealer sale price £34+.

I'd start bidding £30k.

hey mark, just a suggestion, try going onto the "we buy any car" website, put the reg number in and it will give you a instant price . what ive found in the past is you get an indication of the trade value and then buy the car im looking at as close to this price as possible. Thats what i did with an e46 m3, the value they came up with was £11600 and i pd £11900 for the car privately. i had a cap black book at the time and the price was pretty similar

We buy any car quoted 22k for an m3 that books at 28k cap.

Cap on that will be 26-28 mark

Its up at 34.300 cash buy they offered it to me at 33.500 they must be smoking something i offered 30k its the miles that kill the car :hahaha:

Mark, it'll shit loads in value over the next year or so. I'd buy the best 2008-9 I could find and save at least 10k if I was after one.

Exactly what I would do :whistle:

58 plate with 50k ish can be had for v low £20's
And for my plans it would be a waste of money spending £30k, when the outcome would make the starting point irrelevant. Apart from blowing £10k more

this method sounds great to me. Price seems good too.

When I was looking for a LS430 for my euro drive trip I went to Vauxhall website to do the same thing so I could get a feel of the trade prices based on options, mileage, year etc. Guided me pretty well as I manage to get a reliable grandpa car for the whole 1.5 month trip.

Need to lookup a straight pipes and tubi/AC pipes for this V8.:hahaha:

just don't use the estimator for a 03/04 CSL. :banghead:

Not what you asked for but a friend bought a e46 m3 individual @23k just as the v8 m3 was coming out. Sold it for 10k 3 years later.

What I'm saying is when the new M3/4 is released v8's prices could plummet. I'd wait a while. You may get a bargain in 6 months time :-D

The man speaks sense :supz:

[E30M3SE]

OP the car youre looking at books at just over £28K, it is a nicely spec'd car with the Individual audio, dab, etc and being finished in the currently in vogue white. It is up on the miles and their asking price is toppy, does look like a clean car with unmarked wheels and good tyres.

£30k is probably a bit short for it.

Its the miles that make it worth 30k if it had 20,000 i would pay more there are plenty out there and i am in no hurry :-D

Yes, there are plenty around, but dealers seem to be asking £37K for ~20K mile cars. If your in no hurry wait and see what happens when the M4 is launched, initially I don't think too much will happen to E92 values.
