That car brand new can be had for $57k. Most cars (including BMWs) depreciate 20 percent when you drive them off the showroom floor.
$49k is 15% off of $57k. So in my mind it is still overpriced. I'll be it doesn't bring $46k. Not only that, it has an unknown history. Why is it for sale after only 850 miles? Maybe the diff fell out for no reason. I would run from that car like it had contageous herpes (maybe it does). |

I paid in full (got 1K off), in cash, that's when I took the hit. Now I just love it! Money well spent!

These fluctuations will always occur. The tough thing for most to know is that you are purchasing a depreciating asset and this is the way of life. Forget about it and enjoy the marvelous V8

just wondering about the links comment about Why it left the another State...
Cars that are move between States may hold some mystery in their titles or maintenance history. and 49k is not unbelievable for 56k base sedan

This applies to anybody trying to sell a used car This applies to anybody trying to sell a house This applies to.......... You get my point I cannot prove it, but I think this affects, now that gas is back to $2 or less, to Prius(es) and Diesels as well(although this could change quickly if gas goes up again) |

I actually saw this car on Autotrader before it hit eBay and I've been looking at it very seriously (very seriously in the sense that I'm not going to buy anything right now, but if I were ... ). There was another 2008 Sedan for $49k about a month ago in California. It had about 8,000 miles if my memory serves me correctly. |

don't wait too long... at some point the inventory is going to dry up, the wind down in 09 productions, and an economic recovery might hit all at once, and you'll have blown your chance at a great deal by waiting too long.... I think one needs to acquire in the next 60-90 days or the window might be blown out.

you know what, it's going to happen, but the global economic growth will be on a slower, more healthy recovery path, one without phony credit schemes. What we won't have this next growth cycle is a growth driver... computing revolution has basically no blood left in the stone to squeeze out... people have to wake up to the fact that the last 30 years was a very special time in history, and that time is over, gone, finished. Jobs are gonna be hard to come by in all sectors, even in tech, believe it or not.
But since everyone is waiting on the sidelines to buy anything/everything, eventually the consumer is going to start spending, more or less in unison, and it's going to look like we're back in the game all of a sudden. So those cheaps F430s, 360s, M3s, etc... the vultures will wait too long to swoop in on them, and miss the boat entirely. The smart money will be in the next 90 days... though perhaps the bottom is somewhere in the next 180 days.... I suck at timing peaks or bottoms, though I do get horribly lucky at times. |
