Hi guys, looking for a daily that I can put 15K+ miles a year on. I found this car and wondering what you guys think a fair price for this would be? Asking price seems a little high for the mileage. Also do you guys think itll be pretty reliable? I'm looking at 328i instead of 335i for this reason alone. I'm kinda bummed it doesnt have comfort access, but seems fairly loaded otherwise.

$8200 is the asking price
2011 328i Automatic
144k miles
M Sport Pack
Xenon
Dakota Leather (maybe premium pack?)
Harmon Kardon

NO Comfort Access.

I think its high for 144k and no CA (Which is surprising).

IMO, completely depends what it’s got for maintenance history. If all the major trouble spots have been done fairly recently, it’ll probably be a decent buy and have some longevity. If you’re gonna need to do a water pump, valve cover/gasket, and/or oil filter housing gasket in your foreseeable ownership, I’d try to haggle it down a good bit.

And while CA is convenient, when (not if) antennas start to act up, it’ll be more of a headache than it’s worth IMO. I personally avoid many of the electronic bells and whistles when I can and CA was one I was happy to avoid.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Seller says the dealer advised to change the bottom pan for an oil leak.

Seems like he's got it priced too high for the mileage, and has an oil leak.

With that in mind, what would you guys offer?

I'd be comfortable at 6... maybe 6500

It depends almost entirely on maintenance history.

If well maintained with common areas already addressed with records, I'd pay full price. With little to no documented maintenance history I would try to get it for less. Also depends on condition of course but i'm assuming it's in pretty good shape.

Also completely depends how willing you are to do some of the work yourself. I’m a tinkerer so I like it but many don’t have time, patience or confidence to do it well.
