yeah its Adesa. its 7 minutes away from where I live. I bought my previous car there too (08 A4). couldn't find my 335i there, manual coupes are rare, my current s2000 is impossible to find at auction too Last edited by Kolyan2k; 05-17-2011 at 03:22 PM.. |

THIS FRIDAY: 1 vert 1999 M3 88k miles, black, auto. 2 owners, no accidents on autocheck.com no price history for Boston for past 6 auctions, other auctions sold them from 6k to 9k. should expect to pay around 8k for it....sometimes you get lucky and pay less, but i wouldnt go without at least $7k-8k in pocket.

I want an E36 M3 too. Auto is a deal breaker for me, but that 'vert sounds pretty nice.

But not to get OT, 8k seems like a decent price. Really depends on the maintenance history of the car. Are these available? Are we able to inspect the car before we buy? Hear it run, test drive, etc? Not sure how a car auction works. |

you need dealers login and password to check the list

the way auction works: big parking lot full of cars, most are open and have keys inside. you come day before or early morning to look at the car you like and test drive it, then when the auction comes for this car, you bid from sellers starting price. sometimes starting price is so high that car does not get sold. |

also BMWs come in once a month or something like that from BMW Financial, what I see now is other dealers selling BMWs thats why there are not many....that and its still Wednesday. BMW Financial takes pictures of most cars, other dealers are lazy and some dont have photos. Of course when BMW Financial selling shit lots of BMWs, everyone comes to buy them and therefore prices are a bit higher......this is just my guess.

just to note: if you are buying a fresh $20-30k car with low miles, you can expect it to be flawless. when you want high miles old BMW, its not gonna be flawless. This is not a dealership, its a car auction. Dealers buy not so nice cars and clean them up and fix them, then sell to you with mark up. Of course there are exceptions, but if you wanna buy a PERFECT e36 or e46, auction is NOT the place to go
Also sometimes private party cars are cheaper then auction. When I bought my A4, I saw PP car for $22K and it was AUTO, I paid $25k for almost the same car at auction, but it was what I wanted.....it was manual. Auction fee for $25k car was about 400-500 bucks. Dealers mark up for 20-30k car is usually 4-5k Last edited by Kolyan2k; 05-18-2011 at 03:18 PM.. |
