Title: Anyone got access to CAP/Glasses?
Post by: tony_danza on July 02, 2010, 01:26:04 pm
Can you do me a favour, get me a ballpark figure on an '09 135i with 5k on the clock. YH09 ABU. adjust for Xenons, NAV, Leather.

I want to see how much of premium they're adding on for some other options it has.

Thanks.

Clean average or below????
23300 22600 21900

Spec doesnt add extra value :happy2:

Condition is dealer fresh, as new. That's the trade in price, not the buy it from a main dealer price?

I thought so about the spec, they bang on about how much over list it cost, but they suddenly forget that when it comes to trading it back in!!

Yeah thats a trade price!!! But bear in mind that its a guide but as a rule of thumb cars are currently going for around CAP average.

Ive been in the trade for a few years and worked in a few dealerships and we have never added money to a car for spec :happy2: And i tell every single customer of mine that spec does not add value to a car. CAP and Glassnet dont even give you the option to add for spec anyway. But if its a BMW X5 for example it will say cars not fitted with comm pack are valued £???? less.

Whats it up for?

Proper comedy money, £35k. I think it is worth closer to £29k So I'm planning a real kick in the balls offer and sitting back until they call me. They've had it a month so far.

It's had a load of money thrown at it, probably a BMW press car to show all the Performance add ons, as it has every single one of them. Must have listed at £40k+... but a BMW UK car will owe them nowt, given the discounted rate they'll have bought it in at.

Mike, that is an ex BMW UK car, i can tell from the number plate. Beware that they are often thrashed and not run in properly. Trust me, I've been there and done that.....

How much :surprised: :surprised:

If its an ex manufacturer car its a different kettle of fish when it comes to pricing but still it seems expensive. But it does look nice :drool: Have a look at what a new one is gona cost in the same spec and look at the difference in price to that one. If you like the car and you get it for a price thats right for you then go for it.

I thought so Chris, any way of finding out what it actually owes them?

I'm not fussed on it being thrashed, it's got a warranty. I'm more interested in getting it for the right price, if they won't play ball, then I'll keep looking - I'm not that glassy eyed I'm going to get stiffed.

I can't add BMW Performance bits on the configurator, but with discounts I reckon it's a £32k base car and then whatever the upgrades cost on top. So it's well overpriced to say the least, Ben.

The only way you can find out what it owes them is to chat up the girl in admin and hump her for info. :jumpmove:
