hi ppl

i am in the process of trading in my e30 320i, i was just wondering what people have been quoted for a part ex?

at the moment ive had 2 x £500 and 1 x £700 (and the bloke said he would see if he could offer more)

obviously the the two £500 quotes were a price the garage would give to take to auction and the £700+ quote looks as though the garage will try and sell the car themselves!

so i was just wondering what quotes people have been getting at garages recently?

Sorry to dampen your enthusiasm but the garage that are offering £700 for your 320 obviously have a big margin in the car they are trying to sell you or badly want it gone or both !. In the the trade a 320 is virtually worthless and unloved. If your car is tidy and decent spec try selling it privately and go back to the dealers with cash ! :)
