Hi guys,
I know I haven't been around here much and this is probably frowned upon to make these sorts of posts but...
I need to get a new(er) car with automatic for a variety of reasons. Therefore this thing has to go. The edmunds true car won't give me a value for it for whatever reason so I have no way to know if I'm getting hosed by the dealer (if I trade it in) or what to ask for it if I try to sell it outright. I know it's not worth a whole lot. I was looking at a 528i automatic several years ago and that dealer didn't want it because it was manual trans.
It's an '07 328i sport package with manual transmission, rear wheel drive. Space gray with saddle leather (obviously). 178,500 miles. The car is cosmetically clean with just the normal chips in the front bumper cover.
It needs a driveshaft, which is kind of prompting this. It is currently drivable but it's on the way out, there is the "rust colored powder of death" coming out of the rear u-joint. There are some other minor nits, but the major stuff like the a/c works. If it ends up going for sale here I will disclose all said nits as I'm one of those dreaded completely honest type guys.
It had shocks, struts, water pump/thermostat at ~150k, and within the last 3k front control arms, two front tires plus I just had the oil pan gasket done.
Any thoughts?
Wally
