Well... heres why I can't do that.

It's been for sale for about 4 months. I started the price at $34k... and its now at $29k. Still no interest???

Its getting to the point where I would save the difference in the trade and private sale price on the sales tax of my new car.

If I sell my car private party for $29k and purchase an E92 335 with no trade in for around $39k I would pay around $2750 in sales tax.

If I traded my M3 in for the 335 I would only pay about $875 in sales tax.

So trading it in for $26500 is the same as $28500 if I sold it private party. I can't even get interest asking $29000 for in private party. So really theres only a $500 difference. If these calculations are correct which I just did very quickly.
