2018 BMW M3 CS, black, 3K miles, private seller, $90K in Auburn, CA https://sacramento.craigslist.org/fo...302610796.html

The first black one has been for sale multiple times starting in Jan 2020. It was on autotrader and DuPont registry at $85k and sat a long while, then was on Craigslist with 10k miles for $74k. This dealer must have picked it up recently from second owner with a few more miles in the mid sixties and is looking to make some nice coin. I'd go for the 3k mile private party one owner car and offer $75k, he isn't getting $90k or even close on a private party sale.

This frozen blue bid to $65k but no sale. Seems about right with buyers premium on 10k miles and some modifications.

Wonder how much I could get for mines with MPE, Carbon mirror caps and carbon engine cover. MSRP was $116k.

I’m in the market for a M3 CS. Does this one seem like a good deal?

Looks like a good CS with low miles. One of the more rare colors FDB II. I think 1 of 67 or something like that in the states. Frozen colors can also be a bit harder to maintain/repaint over time. Besides the hood being slightly off in one of the pics, which is probably because they didn't close it properly, it looks good.

Negotiate it down as much as you can and if it feels right, do it! You won't regret buying a M3 CS for sure.

Agree with above comments ^^^

One owner car looks clean - frozen dark blue with exec package was at least a $108k MSRP new - try to get it for $65k to $67k which would be a good deal imo. Only blemish / small nit is the front license plate is mounted, maybe just tape but probably drilled. If drilled use that as negotiation point and tell them you'll need a new bumper and re-spray

Good luck.

Really depends on mileage and condition. MPE is a big plus. Non oem Mods and tunes don't help, stock brings more buyers imo. But you should keep yours and not sell obviously.

Yeah and MSRP is irrelevant with M3CS because only fools were paying that much for them. Everyone and BMW knew they were way overpriced.

Definitely agree with that. Got a good deal on my lease. I'm at 1k a month taxes includes. Buyout is about 78k right now I believe.

15k miles. Car is in great condition, hardly driving it at the moment. I may keep it, still undecided. All parts are OEM and came with the car. Everything is on the build sheet.

I would think at or slightly above your buyout. Not sure how much demand there is for frozen colors but only one way to find out.

Agree but note that a AW stripper CS was a $98k MSRP and a LRG with CCBs and exec was a $116k MSRP so even if you got 15% off MSRP (or more) the original MSRP did matter. The FDB and LRG paint cost $5k, not sure it matters at resale but those two colors are the rarest.

Also note a few people did pay MSRP to be the first on the block. Then cars were easy $5k off, then an easy $10k off and by the end people were getting $15 to $20k off on the last few. It was the full spectrum of deals starting in the late summer of 2018 thru the spring of 2019.

Nice find but looks like it needs a wash and detail. One of 98 in US with CCBs. Asking price seems reasonable starting point.

On Facebook but not private party - listed at Paradise Motors LLC

That's a steal.

Fuck yeah it was. Lucky.

Priced right they sell fast.
Are those the gold 763s or just dirty gray ones?

Vin# fourth digit is an 8 not a 9
