I would think the person who owned the car previously would have driven it a bit hard. But Go for it bro! Good luck with the buy!

Probably. You should go see a doctor.

Go and check it out. If it looks and drives well I'd say go for it.

Idk how much you'll be down the whole with the trade-in but to me it doesn't seem like you'll be down too much. Before you make any decisions make sure to do a thorough test drive.

Carfax is useless if the car wasn't reported to insurance. Have a body shop check out the frame and the car overall.

No Sport or Premium? And I dont mean the "Premium wheels"... I dont know if your local BMW dealer will cooperate with you but I would run the VIN by them and see if you can get an idea of all the options it came with..

it's just a base model 335i.....what's wrong with that? seems to be a pretty good deal.

it might not be a good thing to trade in your 330i for the 335i, but that's my opinion. dealer trade in for your car probably will be around 24k (at most).... the only reason that car is a great deal is it doesn't have a lot of options, it's manual, and cars are not flying off the lot right now......

That true, and i dont mind a base model 335 and i wouldnt want an iDrive again....It all depends on what happens tomorrow at Crevier.....If they fix it i stay with it, if they dont fix the iDrive then trading in....So complicates

My personal feeling is there is no such thing as a good deal on the internet that doesn't involve bidding against other people. In other words, if they put that vehicle, 30,999 buy it now in eBay, is it a good deal? Not only would I check the carfax, drive it in person, ask where the oem rims are, if everything checked out, I'd offer 15-20% less than what they asked. We'd be in the high 20's. Forget about book value, etc. If it could fetch that, they wouldn't be resorting to the web to sell the car.

Dude. Don't worry about the price. You can easily find out if that is a good price from the internet.

Making sure the car is legit is the most important thing. You don't really know if that is a low mileage car until you find out when that car was built; look at the sticker on the driver's door jam. Too bad this car isn't a CPO; then you would really know the car doesn't have any problems and have a nice warranty too. Absolutely make sure the car is checked out by a mechanic who knows his stuff.
