e90 sifu, how much do u think my car is worth now??325i msport 2007 oct, mileage 23k, lady driver, no accident, vkool, 3mcarpet, idrive, bluetooth

 

[loafer]

Wow rachel upgrading ah?

 

[astroboy]

I say no more than 220k..

 

[racheltoh]

har.....so little???

 

[MSport]

Middle this year, i saw in motor trader at RM250K.... now lagi dropped.

First year depreciation is always the highest and 30% is about right. That's the price to pay for playing with a new car for 1 year.

The 325i M sport is still rather rare in the used car market, so I think its worth more than Rm220k outside in the market. Not much higher but can try at Rm240k+ and see how it goes.

So whats next Rachel? I hope its not a minivan!

 

[racheltoh]

Thought of downgrading myself to a Golf..
I was offered a good deal..(new car)
So was thinking should I hv a short term lost (ie first yr depreciation is 30-40%) ..or long term lost.

Downgrading? Did you find the 325 sports suspension a little too stiff? That was one one on the main reasons I would not go for the sports model. The golf ride is better, in terms on comfort and handling.

Golf's depreciation seems to be holding better too...

 

[Schwepps]

IMHO, it's not a good idea to sell a new car after 1 year to get another new car, therefore suffering 1st year depreciation on 2 cars. Maximum losses on both then. You suffer a 10% depreciation the moment you drive a new car out of the showroom.

Unless you really don't like living with your current ride, or it's a lemon, or have too much money to burn.

While I love the Golf GTi I won't sell my E90 to get one. The E90 is a more balanced experience, while the Golf GTi would be great as a 2nd car. I tried convincing my wife to swap the Jazz for the GTi by psychoing my son to ask her to change car, but she's not biting . She likes small fuel efficient cars. Ken and Rimsukan in the forum has both. Some guys have all the luck

 

[Schwepps]

I second your thoughts E46F :top:

She likes small fuel efficient cars and knows that you won't look so jazzy cruising Hartamas/Heritage Row in a Jazz when you 'borrow' her car.

 

[racheltoh]
