My nose is itchy lol

That was me that picked up the 4.8is in Florida and drove back to Mpls

The car was a one owner lease trade in that was CPO'd by Braman and put on their lot for $42k. It did not sell and went to auction after about a month, at which time Prestige Motorsports in Ft Lauderdale bought it and listed it on eBay for $35,995.

I did a lot of research, and including cars in Minneapolis and across the country it seemed that a CPO car in the 40-50k mile range was around $35k, and cars in the 60k and up range dropped into the low $30k range and below depending on mileage and condition. Tack on a couple extra grand if the car is at a BMW dealership.

Given those prices, this $36k car still under the 4/50 warranty was a no-brainer, and I feel I got a really good price, even considering the swirls and haze in the paint and the curb rash I get to live with.

I would say a good price for your car (to you) would be $30k if it really is in as good of condition as you describe, although the high mileage could make it a hard sell for many people, even though it is still under warranty.

Do you have any pics of your car? The silver with crema sport seats sounds like an extremely rare combo - maybe someone would pay a premium for it?
