What's a fair price?

Selleral · 10-04-2019, 01:52 PM

Looking at this car. Needs new tires, minor paint scuff on bumper and a door ding or two, windshield chip, brake fluid change. No options, 18" wheels, cloth seats. Minor front end damage on carfax.

What you think is good price?

I would pay a little for more for another ///M without those issues. Seems like the car wasn't cared for meticulously. Caution buying cars from Houston with the floods in the recent years as well.

Seems about right in line as long as no carfax issues.

I agree with sicck. You could get a nicer M3 for not much more. I would expect to pay low-mid $30s for it, but my guess is that you're going to have a hard time as that price isn't that far off auction prices. Anyone have any recent auction numbers they could share?

Definitely lower 30 or about $27k the. At does not look maintained. There are so many in the market look around. You will find the one you want but it will take time. Don't rush

how can you tell what fixes this car needs? Did you actually go in to take a look in person?

MMR puts it at 36.6k with those miles and Autograde in Southwest region with Gray color.

Some of the brake rotors look pretty rough.
And Sicck is correct, some areas of Houston had some serious street flooding two weeks back.
