Any input will be appreciate it.

Thanks!
Beautiful car but not for me, over 50k so its out of warranty and no CPO. Too much risk for me if I'm laying down 30 large...

+1 on the NAY~
HPFP issues without a CPO? Have you gone mad?
If you are looking to drop $30k on a 3, look for an E46 M3. It beats a 335cic any day and twice on Sunday IMO.

Thanks you for all the advice. Appreciate it guys!!!

1) How about this car? If I can get to $35K then would it be worth it? Trade-In value good condition is $36,600 from KKB

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national

2) OR what is the right price to be fair? and a good deal for me for the car above?

3) 2008 335i convertible vs 2009 Audi A5 V6 premium plus vs 2009 Audi A4 V6 premium plus....which one would you guys choose and why?


cheers!

I just drove the 335i coupe and loved it. Thinking of trading in my 530 for it. The power and torque is fantastic, even beofre you chip and tune it. Drive one when you get a chance.... 0-60mph in 4.8 secs stock.....

Its not as pretty as the a5 but will destroy both the last gen m3 and most other cars in its price range. Good luck.

335i search results

You can filter by CPO.

This overstock site is cool. Shows cars by mileage/price graph. You can change the zip code appropriately.
