I know it really depends on the country to know which option / color / material is worth a premium, but I wanted to get the question out there.
I am studying very closely buying a CSL, and I wonder what you would pay a premium for?
Here is a list of the options :
Exterior color - SG or SB - no premium either way in my opinion. I would prefer a SG thought
Mileage - worth a premium of low
Maintenance - not worth a premium if done in time
General shape - of course, worth a premium if excellent
No cost options
- 19” double spoke alloy wheels style 67M - would get the value down
- Auto air conditioning - worth a premium if the car comes without it!
- BMW Business radio - no premium
- No model inscription
- Graduated tint front windscreen
- Smoker package
Cost options
- Car alarm €430.00 - no premium
- Climate comfort front windscreen €230.00 - no premium
- Floor mats €100.00 - no premium
- Park Distance Control (PDC) €400.00 - no premium
- Rain sensor €110.00 - no premium
- Headlamp wash €260.00 - no premium
- (Bi-)Xenon headlights with headlamp wash €530.00 - no premium
- Single CD €100.00 - no premium
- Mini disc player €260.00 - no premium
Mileage - worth a premium of low
Maintenance - not worth a premium if done in time
General shape - of course, worth a premium if excellent
So, if I would get the perfect car : option less low mileage excellent condition SG. That would be worth a premium.
What are your thoughts on what would add / remove value of a car?
Input is appreciated :-)
