When they got the car it was high price so they will not sell it at lower than they got it.
Just like your watches.
no 1 what the 2nd hand cars now unless it is a private sale, maybe you can sell the car 1st on 28car and car8
then get a private sale car.
I would not go throw the 2nd hand dealers now, not good prices.
BMWHK are giving alot on the trade-in right now try them and see what you will get for you car.
See if it is more than the 2nd hand dealers.
I ask a few weeks back on my e60 and the guy said 160k that a drop of 40% from 3 months ago. :thumbsdown:
I will tell my bro to check with BMWHK first for trade in price. Thanks for advice.

Watches is OK due to zero maintenance or operation cost. Also, vintage watches will not depreciate like cars. Afterall, I can sell them to every part of the world in a flash.

Though the watch business has all these advantage, we still have such a diffcult time. I wonder how the car dealers will survive in the coming time ?

it used to cost about 10k many years back, so taking inflation and financial tsunami into accoutn, i think its a good and fair price, dont forget you can do your bit for charity at the same time.

its a great chance for you guys to test out your big brakes and hard suspension. most importantly, you can find out how your car handles without the worry of hitting something.

watch maintainence can be quite cheap compared to cars, unless u bring the watch back to its distributor for service. but what the heck, men don't have much accessories to show the bling, we don't wear ear rings nor walk around with birkin.
