Selling M3

If I didn’t have my current car I would already be PM’ing FC. Love that car!

Would recommend checking a few of the local dealers also. They all have some type of “we want to buy your car” link on their websites.

That being said, agree that unless it seems like a crazy “I can’t say no” number you might just want to keep it. I think the market has peaked and dropping on “regular” models but for something special and hard to replace (MT M3) who knows. It’s still really hard to get an allocation for one of those and there are a lot of people that don’t like the look. I don’t think the depreciation curve on your car will follow a traditional pattern.

Pricing has seemed be slowly declining back towards something we might think of as normal so far this year.

I think there's a real possibility the war and sanctions may wind up having a word with that situation shortly.

If if the war is contained to Ukraine without wide conflagration, supply chains are probably in for a few more shocks and it's not hard to see renewed constraints on new production along with increased costs on what does get to retail. If so, that in turn may well prop used prices back up.

Increased fuel prices and inflation may have other effects, perhaps affecting some models more than others. If the economy falters or the war widens...who knows.

I don't know what's going to happen next for anything, but I don't think the abnormal ride we've been on for the past two years is ending anytime soon.

Thanks for the input, guys. The only real "pressure" I sense besides market timing is the warranty expiring at the end of June.

Any downside to putting it up on the forums at a semi-realistic high price (say $65k) and see if someone jumps on it. The car looks great, you have everything in order for a sale listing already. Give it a couple of weeks online, continue to monitor the easy out websites and if someone bites, great, if not sell it to Vroom or whomever.

That was a thought, for sure. It does have a full front Xpel wrap and Carplay upgrade. And $65k was the number I was thinking of.

Definitely give it a shot! Nothing ventured, nothing gained…

Even though I argue against selling $60k for an out-of-warranty car... I didn't realize you were coming up on 4 years, thought more like two.

I got one of the last ones. It's been out of production that long.
