Bought a f83 manual for more than I was getting it 2 years ago. It's a crazy market. But things will normalize in 1-2 years once all dealers get their supply of cars. I paid as I didn't think that would happen for atleast another year.
But 1.5 years from now pretty sure there be a massive drop.

Let's say you can sell it and make $5,000 more.


Now what?

That def was a great deal then, because there was nothing, even on 2015 cars, with that low miles, that I was seeing around 50K in the last 45 days (There was a 2017 with 90K a dealer was still asking 45k for and it wasn't even optioned that well lol). You musta snuck in right before the bubble expansion, kinda like I did when I bought my 2021 X3 M40 that they discounted 5% and threw in some other perks. Not finding much of those deals now

I've been keeping an eye on the local market as a F80 is on my short list, and watched as prices climbed over the last year or so. So much that I'm going to hold on to my current car till the spring.

It seems that inventory is sitting alot longer and prices are coming down a little over the last 3 months.

I've been looking at prices for the last 6 months or so. It seems that market is tipping towards coming down, but people are still holding onto the prices they used to get. I'd hope within 3 months we'll see F8x come down into the mid-30's.

Yeah it's interesting to see where the market has gone. I was seeing more F8X in the 30's later last year (that's where I ended up with mine ~38k) and I just don't see many floating in that space anymore.

I just got offered $61k (*trade in*) for my 2018 M3 ZCP w/6spd (fully loaded, 16.8k miles) and could’ve pulled off $62k without much negotiation. I bought it in February for just under $59k w/9k miles. Was looking to trade it for a 2018 M5 w/12k miles, but just couldn’t make it work (they want too much). All that said, I am worried that I just missed the boat and it sounds like the market is stabilizing (for F8x).

He made a flat out offer for my 18 Comp 6MT with 29k miles on it, and the offer was higher than I saw on blue book. Of course my car has some very tasteful (in my opinion of course hah) valuable mods and looks a helluva lot more expensive than it actually is (my opinion x2). Told me they'd offer the money on the spot, and they'd have my car sold within 48 hours at a sizeable profit. I have no idea how he could offer me more than the blue book and still make a profit, but his words not mine. He said the later model LCI Comp 6MTs are all commanding a high premium now. He was very savvy, he knew exactly what I had.

He said they can't keep any nice used cars in stock. He told me he has friends at different dealerships who've been flipping used cars so fast, often the same day they come in, that folks are having titles delayed big time. He said it's not uncommon for buyers to have to wait 60 days before the title shows up, which I think is just nuts. He was of course very clear that wasn't happening at HIS dealership.

His best advice however, was that if you're buying a car now just go new. Used car prices are so insanely jacked up, that you're honestly hurting yourself by not going new and getting the warranty, maintenance, sometimes 0% interest on new car loans, etc. He stated he's been selling used cars 2-3 years old for less than 5k from the new car price and that new car is sitting right there on the lot! He's just dumbfounded that people are still buying used at this point if the price is anywhere close to a new model!

Crazy crazy times for sure.

So many issues with this post….

Shooting the breeze with a car salesman and super nice guy just don’t seem to go together.

I think this is starting to be true. Ive been watching and they are still high, but not selling. Only the super rare ones do. The market is falling and the issue with the prices is that the used market needs more inventory to start to pop up to reduce the costs because these dealers overpaid and they wont drop the price to the point they loose money. So the longer they sit the better it will be for us and the worse it'll be for them. I think we have reached the tipping point where its now favoring buyers. In a few months these dealers will sell at a loss.

$60k offer from Vroom on my 18 zcp dct exec with 11k miles.

Wow, that seems like a pretty substantial drop compared to prior months?

[65fastback]

Good F8x's are still moving quick for top dollar in my area. 18's with low miles are going for high 60k or more. 17's are mid 50k.
Just yesterday i looked at 2 different M3's 18 zcp each with about 20k miles...price was 72k on both. Still weird out there.

[SCS55]

I'm like a few others thinking about capitalizing on the inflated offers and moving on to something else. For me it would possibly be the new G87 or P car.
Is it fair to assume that in about 18 months from now F80's will follow the E90 M3 pricing trend? Bottoming out in the high teens and low 20's especially for high mileage 15'/16' non Comps.

[Jason60051]

It's hard to say. Chip shortages/supply constraints will continue through 2022 according to some of the things I've read. These inflated prices maybe around a bit longer than we thought. I've considered selling to get into something else but selling high to buy high doesn't make sense. I'll keep it for a couple more years.

[brocurls]

I got 64k from Carvana for my 20 M4C with 11xxx miles.

Agree…Selling high just to buy high? Loose loose.

Honestly the only other car out there I would want currently is a F80, my 16 f82 is awesome but a newer f80 would be sweet , i’ve been looking around some but again it would be selling high to buy high and that is stupid considering the price point I got into my F 82.

Hanging onto my F82 for another year or two definitely would not be considered a personal crisis in my book. :-)
Hang tight …things will change they always do.

Thought some of you may enjoy this. I've tracked my F80's "value" across NADA and KBB since I bought it back in Dec. 2019.

Used the following indicators:

• KBB
  - Low Private Party and High Private Party with "Excellent" Condition.
• NADA
  - (Low) Average Trade-In and (High) Clean Retail

You can see that the price of my used M3 dropped significantly around May-June of 2020 (peak Covid) but then has quickly rebounded.
(the M3 has been basically sitting the last 4 months for various reasons.)
