Prices for cars are always going to be higher on their specific forum. I guess that where I made the mistake on posting here.
If my post has people ticked off then I suppose that they have other underlying issues that need to be sorted out. If they feel it's therapeutic to be annoying and post such comments then I guess do what you have to do.
I'm not gonna post the link to the blue one because I don't want anybody possibly purchasing it (not that I have to justify myself to strangers...). I'll post pictures of it if I buy it come Friday. Here are some higher mileage ones. But look at the prices. I just feel that my price isn't unrealistic. And that's just me skimming through a couple of craiglist ads. But yes haters bring the flame cause I'm sure they're gonna say something smart. Guarantee it. I'm specifically looking for a manual car. But the lower mileage automatics really are a dime a dozen. It's the 6spd's with lower cost and lower mileage that are harder to find but not impossible.

I hope you find what you want and enjoy it. so don't get me wrong. I just picked up my dream car cheap because seller lived in a area that just don't have buyers for him and he sold a 40k car for 30k. so its possible.
only point I want to tell you is like I said, options and mileage. in other words, what the market is, that's all. you wanted 55k and under. that's a BIG DIFFERENCE from 70k, even 60-65k miles. 335i with all the major option (like you wanted) and 55k and under miles are just not going to be 17k$$. not even 19K$. MAJORITY of them will be 22k$+. that just what the market is...
lets go over the four you put up there:
1. its got 70K miles. its 3K$ over your price. good example of what I said...
2. EIGHTY ONE THOUSAND MILES. enough said. also still 1.5k over your price.... but a nice car still
3. Finally one that fits your 17k budget. holy.... NINETY SEVEN THOUSAND MILES! that's more than a night and day from 55k and under miles. even if it is 16500, get ready to spend few thousand $$ for clutch and other 100k mile maintenance/repairs. I would say in the neighbor of 4k$ minimum..
4. best one so far. but its still 3k$ over your budget and still two thousand miles over. of the four, the best one since miles don't lie.
but the point is none of the fit your criteria, by FAR.
once again, if you can find that hidden one that's far away from the market, GL and enjoy. there is always a chance that a few can be such.
