Baby, say it ain't so! Selling it, really?!

[Plattus1000]

So it hurts but I can't say I don't understand her emotional response, she wants to sell our 4.6is. In total we've spent $27k on purchase and repairs over the last year plus. I think this is a great time and reason to keep it but she's tired of paying to fix stuff. I tried to tell her that there's not much more that needs fixing now but, she's not a bimmerfan-girl anymore.

So, I know how to find car values but for one with extensive service in the last year and a clean carfax, I'm stumped as to what to ask as a sale price.


Condition:

There are no dents or scratches. The metallic black paint is in good condition for its age. The leather interior and carpets are in great condition. All controls work. It's always been in a non-smoking household, no kids, no pets.

The extras that it comes with are:

- Full set of snow tires with 18" wheels that are still good for another couple years (worth about $600 on their own).

- BMW rubber mats for front and rear.

- Rubber cargo mat (custom fit for trunk area).

- A hands-free Parrot Bluetooth system (after-market) that works really well and is easy to use.

- Sirius XM satellite radio receiver antennae and control unit (after-market)
