Guys, remember one thing. New car production is wayyyyyyy behind and way low due to corona so used cars are bringing a pretty buck in the market nowadays.

Give you an idea, my dealership (domestic brand) normally would see 2-3 car carriers per week with new inventory. If we see 1 every 2-3 weeks right now thats probably close to accurate.

Great to hear everyone is doing pretty well on the values, no telling how long this will go on but I would guess at least until mid 2021

I used to do a lot of car trading, so I know the different valuation methods, and I can't figure what criteria they used in their valuation to be so much higher. I can only guess that my X3 was the type of car they specifically wanted for their clientele. I kept waiting for the catch, but they just picked up the car and direct deposited the money!

Now that is bringing more light to this situation, good info Mr. TLG. Off topic did u move out from Jersey?

Yes sir, I left NJ in 2015 for a job opportunity just outside Sarasota Florida running a bodyshop 10 miles away from the Gulf of Mexico. That lasted about 2 years and I fell into the best move in my 25 yr career just blocks from that shop. Were you one of the NJ crew back in the day?

I traded my 2013 328i with 60300 miles in it, clean, and with good timing chains guides still, for $12100. Their "buy" price was just a little higher I think, but I wanted this 435i big time. The value of the car dropped pretty quickly on kbb as soon as bmw settled that law suit for the early n26.

Ah yes i saw the 2012-2014 recall and my car was actually listed during those time frames, glad i went with my intuition and sold her for top dollar. Something a mechanic that visited a few mths back made me think to sell her and so i did..
