So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

[BimmerFan]

As I ponder a new DD to take the load off of the BW, I also consider just selling the BW as it is an expensive car to keep as a "spare" and I do have limited storage space. I hate to see it go, but life must continue.

I proposed it to BaT, and they want a 80K reserve. I think that's low, I think 85 is more likely, and briefly shopping on autotrader, it seems that most comparable cars are listed at $90K and up.

My car is a 2023, black/black, no options, 6-speed, 10K miles. No accidents, original engine, no racing/launches/track. What says the forum braintrust on its fair market value?

Thanks!

Prob only worth like 50k. Makes no sense whatsoever to sell it.

Good point. I should have expanded the poll options.

Even though I've changed my mind, I'm going to leave the poll up to see what kind of answers we get.

I dont "expect" any particular number. I did click 95k for your poll though Bimmer. I did so only from watching Autotrader from time to time as I do.
It seems that a high spec car like mine all but sunroof, can not be touched for less then 91k for the past few months when I looked. The last few weeks I could not see one for under 99k with more than a handful being in the 105K+. Take that for whats it worth as they say.

that spec is stickered at about 100K with no options correct?

I don't have it handy, but I seem to recall that it was around $100K OTD, back in 2023. A base 2025 CT5VBW is now $97,600 plus destination, so call it $99K.

Prices are really all over on these cars, but I'd think (sadly) for a 23 with basically no options, no carbon, but good miles, I'd think $85K.

You sound like me right now! lol.

I was going to trade it in due to life changes (my commute changed and I don't want this expensive of a garage queen), but then changed my mind after being low balled at several dealers for trade in.

I've settled on keeping it, but prices are again rising, reigniting my interest.

I'm sure by tomorrow I will again be content keeping it. lol. (the problem always comes when test driving other cars -- this is the ONLY one that is excels at everything it is meant to do -- GT, track, cruise, luxury, bring my kids along, etc)
