What do you do when you’re trying to sell a car that nobody wants to buy?
--- 26536422
Realize that I made a bad investment and just keep the car or take a loss and trade it in.
--- 26536424
>>26536422
Cars are always bad investments. Would dealerships be willing to take it in if no private party wants to buy it?
--- 26536438
>>26536424
Depends. You can just auction it with reserve
--- 26536452
>>26536438
What auction house would take it? I’m assuming my local house and not BaT or Cars & Bids as I don’t think it’s up to their standard.

They already are bud. Every 3 months something breaks and I’m ready to move into an old Toyota Corolla/Camry.
--- 26536477
>>26536471
see how much a junkyard will give you
--- 26536517
>>26536407 (OP)
Lower the price.
--- 26536522
>>26536407 (OP)
Well you could let it sit and rot or lower the price dumbfuck
--- 26536533
>>26536477
Probably nothing compared to what I could get in theory.
>>26536517
>>26536522
I’m already advertising it for 50% less than what the same make and model for a good condition car sells for.
--- 26536665
>>26536533
>I’m already advertising it for 50% less than what the same make and model for a good condition car sells for.
Yeah, and it's not selling. You need to lower the price.
--- 26536674
What did carvana etc tell you?
--- 26537020
>>26536407 (OP)

Is this the actual car you’re selling?
--- 26537089
>>26536407 (OP)
If that's your car how many miles does it have and what are you trying to sell it for? If its not manual and you're trying to sell some piece of shit with 150k miles for more than 3k I'm going to laugh at you.
--- 26537105
>>26537020
>>26537089
No. E46 Wagon that’s black. 180k miles. Automatic. No issues. Asking $3500. 150k likes wagons are going for $8-11k on BaT and Cars and Bids
--- 26537109
>>26537105

Damn anon, where are you located at? I had an E46 330i for years and stupidly solid it back in 2019. Car never gave me any issues and was just so nice to drive.
--- 26537111

Swell. Now let's see your wreck, faggot.
--- 26537336
E46 with an auto.. that’s your problem right there.
--- 26537337
>>26536407 (OP)
When I was in the car business I heard a saying: There is an ass for every seat. It doesn't matter what the car is there will be a buyer. It may be for a lower price than you wanted but someone will buy...
--- 26537565
>>26536533
What it actually sells for or what people are asking?
--- 26537574
>>26537105
>No issues
>>26536471
>Every 3 months something breaks
Which is it faggot?
--- 26537718
>>26537105
the issue is that it's autotragic 
the only good quality of base model e46s is the front engine rwd layout but an auto in the middle just ruin that
--- 26537724
>>26536407 (OP)
Are you my friend? Because my friend is trying to sell an E46 but no one wants that bag of problems.
--- 26537730
>>26537116
all those have way less miles than yours 
they also look in excellent condition, the fact that you have not posted your kinda make me thing it's trashed
--- 26537779
>>26537718
The manual boxes aren't nice either, especially since the linkages are 20 years old and they're sloppy and vague. (just drop the prop shaft and exhaust to rebuilt it, easy fix) cramped pedal box too.
They're cancer to work on, all the plastics are brittle and failing. The fans will tell you that you just have to strip the entire car and replace every component then they're reliable, or you could just buy a jap car and have something you can drive without breaking down.
--- 26538038
>>26536407 (OP)
you set it on fire and collect the insurance money
--- 26538219
>>26536407 (OP)
If you're not in a rush to sell just list it and forget about it until you get an offer, whenever that may be.

I just listed my LS430 for sale since I want to buy a W163 AMG but I'm aware it's going to be a very slow seller and there's always a possibility someone else has their sights on the ML55 and will buy it before I do so I always have a fallback car (W210 E420 and 3000GT).
--- 26538226
>>26538219
Forgot to mention, I like my LS430 so I'm in no rush to sell at all.

Listen to >>26536455
--- 26538252
>>26538219
how much mileage on the LS430?
--- 26538310
>>26538252
94k
--- 26538320
>>26536407 (OP)
If the car you are trying to sell is picrel, there's just too many of them on sale. You need to take plenty of outstanding photos, give a great description and price it relatively cheap. There's always some turk wanting to live big, don't despair.
--- 26538566
>>26537565
50% less than what it sells for
>>26537574
It currently has no issues. Within the next few months something will break and need fixed. It’s a 20 year old BMW. It requires constant maintenance.
>>26537724
Possibly
>>26537730
It is kinda trashed which is why I’m asking much less than the ones I’ve posted in those links
--- 26538611
>>26538566
>It is kinda trashed which is why I’m asking much less
got to go lower then
--- 26538916
>>26538566
>50% less than what it sells for
Sounds like you're a boomer that would rather crush the car than sell it for what it's actually worth.

And cars in nice condition with significantly less miles are NOT comparables. How about finding some ads for cars in similar "kinda trashed" condition with similar miles and letting us see those? No, we're not going to look them up for you.
--- 26539384
>>26538916
>How about finding some ads for cars in similar "kinda trashed" condition with similar miles
Where do you think I got the $3500 price for my car?
--- 26539397
You guys act like my ads start with “RARE 1 OF 1 BMW NOT GOING LOWER IN PRICE I KNOW WHAT I GOT NO TIRE KICKERS GOBBLESS.”
I have researched what the good condition examples. Ive researched what similar conditioned examples sell for. I listed it comparable to the condition of other examples and 50% less than the good condition examples.
--- 26539424
>>26538916
This is the closest thing I could find. There are no 3 series tourings currently listed that have the same mileage and same condition as mine. As you can see, this one is nicer and also listed for $3000 more than mine.
--- 26539557
>>26539397
>>26539424
it doesn't matter what good condition sell for, peoples who buy good condition cars don't give a shit about trashed ones 
when you're selling car with issues you will only attract flippers and they will low ball you into oblivion, you need to fix the car or take the loss
--- 26539637
>>26536424
Dealers will take it but you'll get jackshit for it, especially if it has no records.
--- 26539692
>>26538310
how much are you selling it for?
--- 26539698
>>26536452
Ebay
--- 26539719
Go racing
--- 26540241
>>26539557
>you need to fix the car or take the loss
I would have to take it to a shop as I don’t know how to do bodywork
--- 26540344
>>26539692
4k obo, priced to sell at around 3.5-3.8k
--- 26540405
i cannot believe nobody has said this yet but fucking look for E46 specific PRIVATE facebook groups and list it there. Your car will sell in no time.

only listing it on fb marketplace is one thing but listing it in those model specific groups opens you up to a whole nother demographic.

t. E36 owner, take a wild guess how I found my car lol.
--- 26540513
>>26536407 (OP)
sell that shit to Carmax
--- 26540539
>>26540513
carmax will give him $500. >>26537105


Realistically OP can sell it for at least $2.5 to $3k

lmfao, i payed 7500 for a '94 with 125k last year, granted its in really good shape as the original owner had it pretty much the entirety of the time and took care good care of it, but i still payed way too much
--- 26543555
>>26542340
huh
--- 26543861

I hope not even the dealership will take it, shitbird.
