Can anybody help, I am in a bad situation that I have to sell my pride and joy of a 2010 Le Mans Blue 320D Mpsort Coupe Auto with 25k on the clock, FSH and Service inclusive pack until 2015. Due to the bitch of my wife cheating on me, need to get some money back out of the car and try and back trade or sell private? anybody had any views or experience on this to get best outcome, going to upset me seeing this car going as totally mint and detailed all the time etc.

Heavy thread sorry to hear man, how quickly are you looking to sell? If you have time put feelers out for a private sale?

[bigbeemer]

I am in no immediate rush but need to sell within the next 2 months. such a shame as stunning car to sell and downgrade.

Sorry to hear that but BMW buy cars like this for their AUC scheme, might be worth seeing if they'd be interested if you get desperate

[Rudz]

don't go to the stealers mate, they'll f**k u over, they'll offer silly trade prices which would be well below market price unless u r part exchanging for another of their cars.

Private sale is the best way forward I reckon, but it's the wrong time to be selling cars so u'll have to be patient unfortunately..

Sorry for what's happened to you mate, ur car is a stunner, the best colour of the lot, the most popular engine type too, it will sell at the right price, if you are patient..

[Jase 320d]

Even if you need to downgrade you could buy an older e90 saloon 320d

[acerboo]

lovely looking car nice colour and wheels. sympathy with you. just a thought could you not "sell" the car to a friend at a sensible price and buy it back later when you've sorted her indoors out? my experience is cars even really nice genuine ones don't sell that quickly and often not for what youd hope they are worth. if you try westeal sorry buyany cars .com it will give you an idea of what a dealer will offer but probably + £1000.

[Jase 320d]

Btw you can also trade to a dealer for a cheaper car too and get a cash payment in return

Obviously you lose out twice (trade in value on yours and forecourt price of downgrade)

If it was her cheating Id tell her to do one with nothing!
Sod selling your pride and joy if you've done nothing wrong yourself.
At worst, tell her she'll get something when you are ready, not when it suits her!

[wolly440]

Have you thought about a 1 series. I had a 2008 E87 118d msport remapped to 185 bhp. £30 to tax 55 mpg, rear wheel drive and was like shit off a shovel when you put your foot down


And they can look nice with some little mods

[Josh1a1h]

Very sorry to hear about this mate.

But why do you have to sell the car? Am I missing something?

[bigbeemer]

Even when she is in the wrong and believe me she is big time, the divorce process is that legally she is entitled to 50% of everything including all assets and that means my pride and joy, so not fair!! even half my pension!

sell your car to a mate for 1£, toss her 50p...

If only it was that easy. The court will just seize the car back, you can't sell assests through the divorce proceedings unless it's to sell to split.

All assets before married can be kept, split what is accumulated during wedding. (Although your need a good divorce lawyer and prove to do this) my sister is a divorce lawyer and keeps me informed.

OP sorry to hear about this, we all have rough times, makes you stronger and your bounce back bigger and better.

[dest]

If she's agreeing she's in the wrong and doesn't want half of the car, there is nothing stopping her from putting down on paper that she doesn't want it.
There is nothing to say that you MUST give her half unless thats what she goes for

[Josh1a1h]

Why should she be entitled to half when she broke the contract of marriage by cheating on you?

If you cheated on her, i would understand that she would be entitled to everything in the divorce that she would have probably filed for.
If you had both decided to get divorced then you would probably be inclined to give her half anyway...

BUT if she cheats, she definitely does not deserve half of anything!!! Obviously there could be more to it, but at the end of the day if you believe you were in a successful marriage and you have no understanding of why she cheated other than that she wanted to... then she shouldn't really deserve half!

Do you get half of all the shit you have bought her over the years? Bags, shoes, clothes etc...?

[Dizzle]

F*ckin bummer mate, hope you come out smelling of roses. What would happen if you just swapped?

Why would she feel the need to go to these extremes.....women *shakes head* - shes in the wrong ffs.

[D_Boi]

Such a beautiful car and shite situation mate! I tried to sell my car to BMW auc but they are a major rip off as the guy told me they always want a 3k margin. So if you want the most for your money then go private although its a really bad time to at the moment.

[MrPogle]

Trying to downgrade at a dealers is just pissing money away. Can you not just get it fairly valued, get a loan for half of that and give it to her as a cash settlement? That should result in the least loss to you and you get to keep the car.

[Apl440i or 335d?]

Don't sell it. Run her over with it!

[bigbeemer]

I wish it was as easy as this.

[bigbeemer]

Does anybody want to buy this car before I advertise on the Autotrader, honestly it is Immaculate.
