If you paid £28500 at a dealer for your 330d (saloon?) in Feb 07, then it hasn't lost that much if they are going to list it now at approx £27500. Makes you wonder if they only paid £25k for it trade last year - doesn't seem right!!
If you assume 19% p.a. depreciation, which is not far off - your figures seem about right - if anything you got it quite cheap last year. Near £38k, you can assume upto 17% discount was available, hence £31.5k new. After 3 months, its trade value at 19% depreciation would be around £29k (knocking off +£1k more than 19% p.a. for the 'not new' factor) - hence you seem to have got it cheaply.
At 1.4 years old (now), its worth around £23.7k at the same rate.
You should add the dealer margin to these figures, which makes your price last year look quite good.
What are they asking you for the 335d (assume well under the 41k list, and much more than 3k under)? Assuming a 10% discount off list (to 37k) and its 3 months old you'd be looking at £35k as a target price.
