I think mine was sold for the same amount but it didn't sit on their forecourt...sold in 3 hours! Don't forget the dealer has to build up the screen price to allow for a trade in. Best you might get in a private sale would be ?27-27.5k I would suspect. Trade in value for that spec depending upon mileage would be around ?24k. If you got more than that you did extremely well.

They'll probably add the all inclusive servicing package to it as well!

I very much doubt that Merv. They'll only add it if the new customer pays for it. Unless of course you already had it on the car in which case it simply transfers title to the next owner.

I think they may be charging a premium for Titanium Grey......It's quite a rare colour and quite sought after.......Incidentally Merv, what made you want to gor Silver Grey after the Titanium Grey ?

Don't... I'm so tempted to upgrade to a 535d like you did... If I ask I might like the answers!!! (But 'er indoors would not be impressed )

Gudge - I've never been a big fan of TG plus on the Sport theres only a handful of colours to choose from and I don't have time to keep Carbon Black clean and not keen on the E60 silver. Silver grey IMHO is the colour

Colejl - go on you only live once

TonyE60 - They gave me ?26,700 and discounted the 535d by 6% or ?29,000 for the trade in and paid full price on the 535d. Either way it only cost me ?8,800 to change to a far superior car and spec.
