Well I officially accepted the offer and let the car go. Thanks everyone for their feedback.

Fair or no?

Did you have to go to the store to get the appraisal done?

Yes - for covid they have you open everything, take pictures and look inside. They don't drive the car until you accept the offer.

It's a good offer. The market is in your favor only if you sell to a dealer.

Don't even bother private. Nobody has that money laying around and they still need financing.

I always tell people shop around dealers and sell it there. Instead of hanging on to a depreciating liability for 3-8 months to sell. Plus not dealing with tire kickers and wannabes.

Take the offer before it expires!

Wow, I brought em 2015 49,xxx and got offered $37k

Carmax is so hassle free, with a decent offer and no bs, I'd take the check too. Private is a pain in the ass and often waste of time with tire kickers, hagglers, and flakers.

Maybe I should take it down to SD and try again when I'm ready lol. It may be a market adjustment thing.

whats ur color combo? they also take that into account. for instance much bigger market and easier to get rid of a white/black combo than say someone with the superman blue/red combo. everything could be the exact same otherwise and they would offer more to the white/black car than the other.

Mineral white/Sakir Orange interior.

I bought my '15 M3 from CarMax for 39k, granted it's a stripper, had 49k miles, but given the markup they need to have to turn a profit I'd says that's a good offer and a guaranteed sale.

This is probably the most common color scheme I've seen on CarMax. I've been monitoring F80s on there for several years.

This thread made me curious so I went to CarMax today. 2018 M3 Comp DCT, Mineral White w/ SO, 23,600 miles. Zero damage/accidents. They offered $51K flat.

Interesting. I have a ‘18 M3 Comp DCT, Mineral Grey with silverstone leather, 27k miles, one minor accident (stupid lady backed into my car!). I wonder am thinking of going Monday to get an appraisal done.

That's nuts. I think Covid shut down a bunch of auto auctions so dealers' inventory is drying up, especially high end makes/models hence the high appraisal values.

That’s also about $5k below MMR wholesale right now. Private is around $58k.

[BleuDawg]

FYI - Actively looking for a clean ~$45K car with manual / good mileage. I am in Columbus Ohio.

[navicaph]

Anybody get a 2017 non-comp appraised recently? Not really in the market to sell, but I would consider if it was something I couldn't say no to.

They also told me if we weren’t so close to winter (“fewer people looking for sports cars”) the offer would have been a few thousand higher.

That's BS. On 10/12 a 2018 M3 with 41,100mi sold at Manheim Keystone Pa for $50,900. With your mileage the estimated adjusted MMR is $57,300.

Good to know so thank you. Without any background to justify my hope, I was hoping they’d offer $57K and I’d hand over the keys LOL. I’ve been bitten by the 718 GT4 bug. I have got to get off of bimmerpost. Most expensive habit I’ve ever acquired!
