Thanks |

Given the spec I'd have thought a main dealer would be wanting £23-£24k so on a private sale I'd say around £20k or perhaps a touch more. However, our friend with access to CAP may be along shortly to tell me I'm talking rubbish!

Well they started at 21k and I pushed for 23k and said if I was willing to do the deal on the car they would try and hit that number so gotta be worth a try with them.
On autotrader they all seems to be well above the 21k based on the spec I have |

A dealer shuffling numbers from one place to another isn't really you getting more for your car. |

If you then came to me and said I wanna buy that X5 over there, I might give you £21K depending on the margin I have in the X5. I wouldn’t give you £21K without you buying another car so your plan doesn’t work, or does it? You mention discount - you can’t have it both ways. You either get £1K over allowance or £1K ‘discount,’ not both. If you do, whoever your dealing with is just pissing about with figures. The BTC is identical. |

In terms of what's on Autotrader, I'm not seeing many 2017 340i saloons listed; a couple of 17 plates at low £20k's, one 67 plate at £25k and another 67 plate at joke money (£28.5k!). However, these are all advertised prices in dealers and even if the cars are sold for that money to be realistic a private sale will more than likely be at least a couple of thousand pounds less.... |

Numbers are numbers. The only number or rather value you need, is the cost to change. What makes up that number doesn’t really matter as long as it’s as small as it can be!

The problem with selling private is that for cars 10k+ many people either need finance and / or are looking for the protection of buying from a dealer. The number of people who would pay cash are a small proportion. In fact many private buyers are traders buying stock.
I'm sort of looking for a late F10 520d and there are only a handful of private sellers on Autotrader and to be honest I'd rather pay a little more to get the protection and facilities only a dealer can offer. I dont think I'm much different from the average buyer. Good luck with the sale though whatever you end up doing |

As previously said, cheapest way is to buy cash and get maximum discount and sell your car privately. Cost in the grief and risk of selling privately, and it may be worth paying a bit more for a hassle-free deal. Either way, make sure you know the trade value of your car before you go into battle so you don't get stung. WBAC is part of BCA so their business model is to get cars as cheaply as possible to sell in their own auctions. Because they're not selling on another's behalf and charging commission, they want to buy that much cheaper.!!

The 40i GCs seem to go for a lot more than the 340 or 440 two door. Was looking at a couple myself but opted for a 340, due to slightly more (imo) bang for my buck.
