or is the dealer crazy, they want to give me 31,000$ for my 2008 535xi with 39,000 miles, blue book value for a 535 in good condition is 38,800, i understand retail and wholesale and alot of miles, but come on, Ive bought 3 cars there and im looking to buy a 4 for my my wife. I was looking more for 36,000. They will get it all back on the next car I purchase as i plan to put it all down. Just had a baby and bought a house and looking to lower a car payment and the wife is due, there was a nice used X5 that would be perfect but not for 31 when i owe 27. She also like the Q7 do u think Audi would do better?
plus i have fully loaded interior except for night vision and HUD plus i have added mtech bumpers

you never get what you want with a dealer.
sell it yourself.

warranty on a 2008 wouldn't be up till 50,000 miles - you have 39k on it right?
