in my search, I have found an 04 545i sport 6mt, blk/blk with 36k miles, everything but NAV, clean carfax, no paintwork, new tires, 2 owners, CPO through 11/2010. asking $26k,

what is it worth? it seems a bit high, but not sure. i know he won't take less than $25k

thoughts?

that always cracks me up when people say that a seller will "never take" below a certain amount... I suppose that's always their choice, but if they actaully want to sell it, they'll take what the market will give them. Maybe he doesn't have to sell, but if the market won't give them $25k today, it's certainly not going to give him $25k in 6 months or a year when that CPO is on death's doorstep...

Seems high to me by a few grand based on what I've seen.

I am 100% positive you can get the same car but 2005 for the same price.

In the end, you decide whether its worth the money. And remember, you should think in terms of cost to own.

I bought the same car without CPO and in silver with 23k miles over the summer for 24750 - I also flew half way across the country and IMO it was the best low mileage deal at the time. I guess it depends what a CPO is worth to you - but to most people that is worth a lot (especially with the warranty). I wouldn't say it's a bad deal at all especially if you really want a CPO or warranty as the warranty can run thousands. I also don't know your region of the country and if your willing to travel but I bet you could find one for cheaper in NY
