Need to Sell my X5 ASAP!

[octriathlete]

I threw out my back and am so racked with medical bills I have to sell my X5! I hate this, but I have to sell it. I bought it in August with 30,000 miles on it, Certified Pre-Owned. Now it has 40,000 miles on it and is in the same condition mechanically and aesthetically. I going to trade it in for something cheap, non-BMW. Where should I go to get the most for my Beemer? Dealer? I would really appreciate people's input on this.

In my experience the BMW dealer gives less in trade. I think it has to do with access to dealer only auctions of clean BMW's. They get them cheap.

I have my 2005 A4 Ultrasport Avant for sale $13999 if that is something you are interested in.

Also post it on the for sale section and on Craigslist.

Hope that helps

Ask the dealer what they would give for a trade-in. You'll probably be unpleasantly surprised at how little they'll give you. Use that as a starting point for a private sale.

Carmax

Carmax is your best bet for ok money quick, you can probably get a few thousand more private party, but might take weeks if not months to sell.

Howdy neighbor.Sorry to hear about your situation. I would agree on Carmax. Let us know what year/options/price

FYI I saw a new Autotrader commercial where they are now offering a "sell it now" feature on their site when you are talking to a dealer about used car on their site aand want an offer on yours. Not sure of all the details but if it might be a good option as well as you could get many offers from different dealers instead of one or 2 Carmax offers.
