I'm trying to sell my 545i, but am having a hard time figuring out the right price for the car.? Its got the sport pack, SMG, nav, premium sound, cold weather and a couple of other options and has about 15,000 miles on the thing.?
What's the right price for a private seller?? I've checked galves and kbb, but I'm not sure to what extent I can trust these values.? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Heck, I'm interested! Where do you live?
Now, I just need to find someone to buy my 530, and hopefully it'll be the same color so my wife won't notice!!!

My Ride: 2004 545i, Jet Black/Black, Manual, Sport, Logic 7
My understanding is that KBB utilizes dealer asking prices, not actual selling prices; my experience has been that both Edmunds and KBB reflected inflated values for when I have both bought and sold.
I picked up my 2004 545i/manual/sport/L7 for $51k, CPO'd to 12/09. Depending on your local market, and assuming you have the standard warranty expiring in a couple of years, my guess would be to ask for around $49.5k. Hopefully you'll find a buyer who's really into SMG, which goes out of production next MY.

Someone's agreed to buy the car for $49,000, and we will be closing the deal tomorrow morning. Given your information, in particular, I think I got a decent price for a private party sale.
But I have to say, this sale is a bit bittersweet ... I'm going to miss the 5er quite a bit. Having said that, the 911 CS arriving in September should ease the pain quite a bit.

Check around and see if you can get the "black book" price from a dealer.? This is what many dealers use and it has the latest prices at the wholesale auctions.? That will give you a true wholesale price and you can then price it accordingly.
