Valuation BMW 320d E90

joewicklow

Hi Lads,

Im planning on selling my 320d E90 and wanted to get some opinions on the value of it.

320d E90 (2005)
Automatic
Steel Grey Colour
OEM Bluetooth Kit
Lighting Pack
Climate Control
Auto Headlights/Wipers
1 owner
Full Service History
New Turbo 3 weeks ago
Run Flat Tyres (With plenty of rubber left)
249,000 kms

The mileage is high but the car is pretty clean. I have been the only driver since registration.

small market with that mileage due to the Irish mentality of not buying anything over 100k

At a guess €7.5k - €8k

generally due to the fact that cars are usually shook apart because of our ducktrack roads.although if it motorway miles it should be ok,


best thing to do is browse every car selling site there is and see what similar cars are making.my guess would be around 9000

I guess the lads up there aren't far off. Apart from the turbo, what major work has been done to the car (suspension, cats, waterworks?) and I presume it has NCT until sometime next year? What way and where did the car clock up the mileage - I suspect all over the country mainly on national roads / motorways? What's the model, a base SE? What wheels?

The advantages of the car are the relatively young age, 1 owner, full service history and importantly - it is still the current model 3-series

The main disadvantage that would put me off (pending your answers to above questions) is the mileage, not so much on the car but on the autobox. Is it the original box? Was it serviced?

your spot on.i think its an es as he didn't mention cruise control.BMW gearboxes and diffs are supposed to be sealed for life and so its overlooked when servicing but id highly recommend an oil change because if it goes wrong its the far side of 3 k for a new one,also is it taxed or is it about to run out?

Hi Lads,

Thanks for the replies.

Its got cruise control and 10 spoke alloys (I must post a picture)

The Gearbox has never given an ounce of trouble in this car or the previous 320d I had which did the same mileage. The FSH is from Frank Keanes so if the gearbox needed any attention I am sure it got it.

The car is NCTd since March 2010 and is taxed until November 2010.

The mileage was done on all roads all over Ireland.

R.O.R

We've been getting between 3.5k and 5k for 05 Passat 1.9Tdi Base models in the trade with 270,000 ish KM, so €9,000 for a clean 320d Auto would be fairly reasonable.

Biggest problem is going to be finding someone willing to take on something with such high mileage. It could take a while to sell, but I'd advertise at €9,500 and take €8,500.
