I feel really sorry for whoever owns it...
But, being a nice guy.. I will do them a favor and take it off their hands for the astronomical price of $20K....
Just tell me where to pick it up..
Really.. not worth it.. I'm just a nice guy..

Hi, Terry:
In CA here...94403. A local independent sales lot has a 2002 530i w/sport & premium package, black on black with 34,000 miles that they bought at an auction. Can you tell me what would be a reasonable offer? Personally, I'd like to stay below $30K. Given that they bought it at an auction, do I have any leeway? List price = $34,995.

In the land of Aaarnold .. we have an 02 Bimmer 530i with 34k, we got the sport and prem pack, slider of course, color is good for the area, sounds like it has all the stuff - auto..?
If - if - if - if .. (CPO.?) we're deep in rubber, all the K service has been done, no road rash, no paint by numbers, no 400lb owners, looks/feels and drives like an 05 (without the ugly looks) .. if so, then the dealer probably paid in and around the mid/tall $26 low low low $27 figure ..
So figure a little transport, a little auction fee, a little service and a partridge in a pear tree, and it probably hits the table at the tall $27 figure, lets round it off to $28 ...... $34,900..? .. he's just going by book value, no biggie .. I have a feelin' that $31ish would bring that bad boy home if we don't have a CPO .....
Can we spell "update" -- don't forget to let me know .!!!!!!!

Excellent condition, no dings, scratches, etc..., new tires @ 55,000 miles, interior is pretty much flawless as I'm really the only one who's ever in it. It's been dealer serviced at all of the proper intervals.
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
I'll pass along your very, very generous offer. You are quite the altruistic person.
Thanks, Terry, as well.
Still haven't seen the car. I believe he's asking $45K, don't know which Barrett-Jackson he purchased it from, but I wasn't able to find it on their auction results website.
I'll I've been told about the condition is "all original and mint".
I also know the barometric pressure has been quite erratic the last few days in Atlanta, causing large (tennis ball sized) hail in the northern suburbs a couple of nights ago. I'll presume the Jag was garaged, but there are a lot of dealers planning hail sales this weekend...

The only blue one I can find is from the 2001 auction (sold for $26,460; ground up restoration; VIN - P1R12968). You can download a picture of the vehicle here:
http://s27.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0IAJLWL896SEF168V5A9X8X8Y2
R&T has at least one past article on E-Type Jags, with all the variations year by year, valuations, etc. It might be worth researching, but maybe you & your friend know all that stuff already.
I would underline what Terry said re: *I mean, they can be worth anything based on the humidity, the barometric pressure and if Mickey is going to marry Minnie .....*, & memorize it.
When you say: *I'll I've been told about the condition is "all original and mint".* That means almost nothing, to most potential buyers (to be told that). Even you haven't seen the car. For anyone to even give you a ballpark figure you'd need tons of pics, & provenance, including everything & anything since the car was new. Your friend must have that, right, if he bought it at a Barrett-Jackson auction?
Without a lot more detailed info. on the car, all of this discussion is just "pie in the sky". And I'd suggest your friend contact Barrett-Jackson if he's serious about re-selling it.....& hope for a good auction day.....

Had a minor accident with this car abt two months ago.. the insurance comapny decided to fix it the part they replaced with all new was the back part of the car ( the trunk part) and all parts used in fixing the car are new accorindg to the invoice from the body shop and the insurance comapny spent around $16K to reapir it and now it look as new and there are no other problem with this car.. so what is the value of my trade in ...please let me know

Last time I drove it, brakes sounded a bit scrapey
Exterior good, rear end was repaired due to a parking lot collision a couple years ago
Interior OK, driver's seat a bit worn but no tears or damage anywhere, but needs detailing (light tan interior=not a good thing)
Whaddya think, for retail and trade-in values? SAABs are fairly popular on the north side of Chicago, but still, I think he's going to freak. Thanks!
***Had a minor accident with this car abt two months ago.. the body shop and the insurance comapny spent around $16K to reapir it...***
You really mean $16,000 and not $1,600? If it's 16k, I don't think you can call it minor, IMO.
Lots of fives here .. 5 door, 5 passenger, *5 speed ... it's a 98 SE, we got 65k, slider, we got a meteorite hit to the transom, the stoppers and rubber are a little weak and we have a Bonnie and Clyde interior ..... trade side, depending on the dealer, in and around the low/mid $4's, might maybe get some nut case to stagger towards the $5 figure .. the handshaker kills it and the miles might save it, maybe ..
Down Retail Rd .. all the service finished, a Disney World detail, a super 4/5 liner Ad in the Tribune, $7,495 *asking* and wave bye bye at the first $6,5/$6,9 ..... as goofy as these things are, properly done, someone from Loyola or Northwestern should pick it up .. all those "artsy" types like these ............

Its getting a complete repaint (good thing for a silver car me thinks) and almost every panel was replaced or straightened. On the bright side it was all cosmetic, no structural damage at all to the car or mechanical. Heck, she drove the thing for 6 or 7 miles trying to find help after it happened.
I'm not the one buying the Jag. My buddy is buying it from someone he knows. I'm just trying to show him some range of values so he can decide if it's a good deal or not. Ultimately, the market value is what he's willing to pay vs. what the other guy is willing to sell it for. I'm just here to pour cold water on the process and trade emotion for hard data.
Thanks for the various links and articles. I've given it to him in a nice bundle. I think he's looking at the car again tomorrow. If I'm around, I'll go with him. Will report back either way ('cause everyone loves an update).
Hitting moose is an everyday thing, I'd imagine several get hit per day. Usually about 500 or so throughout the state during the winter months, this year has been rough with the horrible cold and deep snow.
I almost got one the other day with the rental Escape, can't imagine hitting one with Zippy......OUCH!

Another Chi-town person .. is everyone trading up and buying new vehicles..?
This one is a 99 Jeepster 4x4 GC Laredo with 54 tiny klicks, we have the 4.0, the leather, cold pack, big tunes, new stoppers and the slider ..
If we haven't been over to any of the paint parties lately, the rubber is deep, no click click in the 4x4 and it looks/feels and drives like an 03 .. then trade side, in and around the mid/high $7's, might maybe get reeeal lucky and have someone drop the low low low 8's in it, -if- it's super nice, super clean and it needs -0- ....
Down Retail Rd .. finish any service, a superb detail, a Donald Trump Ad - $10,495 *asking* a hop and a jump later, and ~ $9,5/$9,9 gets a new owner ...

No CD player
Asking = $33,990. I offered a lower price and was told to forget negotiating. The car was just returned. Received an email from the dealer today saying he'd give it to me for $33,290. Realistically, I'd rather pay $31,990 to feel good about it.
Any pointers on how to get them down a little before this bad boy is nabbed by someone else who sees the low mileage?
Thanks, Terry!

It could be really sweet, but it "could" be a Lemon Buyback, have some wierd history, etc. Why don't you put down a $500 deposit if you think it's worth the price while you get it checked out?
Of course, then there's the question of whether paying $33,290 for a 4 y.o. BMW is a great idea. (I paid about that for a 2 y.o. E39 528i w/CPO and super low miles). Also, you could buy a brand new Acura TL for that, w/warranty up the wazoo, etc......... ("up the wazoo" is the best kind of warranty I believe).....

Any dealer that you try and trade it off is going to give you minimum expected auction numbers as they will send it off due to the miles. Definitely should look at selling it yourself. You will have to do some preliminary work to sell it for top dollar with those miles. Super detail inside and out. A full mechanical inspection check list by a Toyota dealer after all the maintenance is completely up to date. Plus should have new tires and maybe a newer battery.
The number, I don't know Florida's market. N.E. Indiana, Toyota's like that have a limited value as most of the buy here pay here crowd wants a Chevy, or a pick'em'up' at the trailer park truck. It would not bring $3,000 around here with those miles and the Toyota name.
You just might want to shop it around for a cash buy price at several corner lots that specialize in higher mileage older cars like yours in your area before going to try and trade it in. A 10 year old 150K Toyota is going to be very much dependent on condition for its value. The greater the availability of maintenance records from day one, the better the value, at least to a private party sale.

Hey Chris ... so you think it's pretty nice..? .. that means no Swiss Army knife interior, no click click in the 4x4, serviced, deep sneakers, no paint by numbers, no Moose attacks and it looks/drives and feels like a 03, plus this one has low miles for the year, the right color and the hardtop ... so if it's a nice one, then trade side, in and around the low/mid $10's, might find someone in Boston to wander towards the $11 figure if it's puuuurfect, glows in the dark and needs -0- .....

Might be a nice driver in SC ... right color inside and out, and if all the K work has been done, all the belts, deep round things, seats look hovered in, Polar air, no K-mart collisions and has all that pride of ownership stuff .... then certain dealers "might" pay the super tall $3's low $4's for it, even with 90k .. I've seen 9/11 victims do $3,0 ....... $6,0 ..? eh', he's not out of line if it's a nice one and $5,0 would be a steal if it's a baby doll .....

I am looking at a Demo BMW 330Ci with ~800 miles. What is a reasonable offer for it? The MSRP is $44k and the salesman offered it to me for $42.5k. How much of a discount can I expect for a demo BMW. From the BMW 3-series board, a good going rate for a new Bimmer seems to be around 2k off of MSRP. Can I get below invoice for the demo?
Thanks,
mabubba
=========================
For starters, make sure it "is" a demo .. it could have been sold and traded already, even with 800 miles ...
If it is a factory demo, then check and see the "in service" date .. Bimmer dealers get a $800 kicker for demo's, this one doesn't seem to have many miles though .. I would want to be $200/$400 back of invoice, minus any incentives if it's been in play for 90 days or more ..
Good luck and let me know ...

Ok .. I give up, whats with the name..?
**Had a minor accident**
$16,000 ..?
.. As in: Sixteen-thousand-dollars ------ American money...?
A minor accident is when someone runs their golf cart into your bumper .. a minor accident is when someone takes a right into the left turning lane and does a $1,900 "pop" to your front fender at 10mph .. a minor accident is when the blue hair lady at Wal-Mart lets her cart get away and it rolls down the side of a TL and it needs $2,500 of paintwork ..
$16,000 ...?!?
.. I've known people to have brain surgery for less than that ......... YIKES.! .......
Who was the insurance company, Buford and Baffled..?? .. it was $12,000 vehicle and $13,0 on a push * Before the accident.! .. who was the body shop, Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan and his nifty friend Pablo..?
This thing should have been totaled a loooong time ago .... body shops, you gotta love em', they make car dealers look like the Pope ...
Whats it worth now ..? .. pick a number ... $5,000/$8,000 ...? I wouldn't have a clue without seeing it ....
$16,000 ....?!? .. oh .. my .. gawd ..
Terry.
Anywho ..... to answer your last question - No.!
In Hotlanta ... we have a 2wd Avalanche, it's black and no help there - tan guts help .. but, now is the time to unload that color before you start that 85+ degree weather, the miles are low for the year, serviced, we have a baby kiss from Santa ... if it's as nice as you think it is, then trade side .. in and around the low/mid $17's, might get someone to travel towards the $18 figure if it's a class act and it needs -0- ....

Interior gets the same shampoo and cleaning every 4 mos.,no rips but drivers mat is a little worn.
Tires - 100%,just replaced this week with new original equip. Goodyears.
Brakes - Less than 6,000 miles on new rotors. Pads are still good.
Maintenance - oil changed every 3k, 30k service is done, everything done by the book, and Ball joint recall has been taken care of.
Other: No accidents or repaints.It has been well taken care of both mechanically and appearance wise.
Because I am starting to put on more miles per year than previously , I am going to down size to either a used 2003 Pontiac Vibe or Ford Escape XLT(2wd)with about the same miles, hopefully as even up as possible. Any input on those would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
thanks anyways

Um - when you are considering a used $150K vehicle, do you really have to worry about a budget??
My boss at the dealership told me something that I took to heart and have passed on many times:
"It's easier to get forgiveness than permission"
If you ask or discuss, she'll just say "no" - if it's already a done deal, all she can do is forgive you (or not).
