But, I bought my 330i xDrive back in January for an absolutely killer deal. Only reason I can think of is that it is AWD, which is generally useless here in the south. Originally in Connecticut, my car ended up for sale in Atlanta, GA somehow. Ended up being great for me, though, kayaking and other outdoor stuff I enjoy doing occasionally make me very glad I have the added traction.

With that in mind to the OP, have you considered shopping virtually at other nationwide dealers? I imagine AWD comes at a premium up north, you could probably find a much better deal finding one in stock at a place that doesn't really need it.

.

The price of used cars are high because of stimulus?

Or because of supply and demand?

Hey guys super dumb question but I couldn't find the answer. I noticed when i drove the light blue one from sterling that it showed my speed and stuff on the windshield i believe from a heads up display? Is this on all the f30 models or only some?

I sure understand how money can be. There's not a whole lot of difference in asking price between that 2013 higher mileage silver 328i and the 2017 lower mileage silver 330i. But it might be a little too much.

Could you explain the sulev thing to me, i can't figure it out even after reading. Can I buy one from say Maryland or do I need to get one with this rating

It doesn’t really matter for used cars. When new in certain states dealers have to sell Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles. Once they’re in the used market it doesn’t matter.

There’s an N20 motor and an N26 motor, which has a few more emission controls on it. Same with the B48 and B46 SULEV, which are in the 330i.

The price of used cars shot up at the beginning of the pandemic. There were various factors - city folk escaping to urban and suburban areas needing cars; job insecurity causing those needing a car to get used instead of new; less driving making people consider a cheaper alternative to a new car. This was before stimulus payments.
