with 135 coming, I'm considering selling the 335...

[ky_soldier]

starting to run out of room. any thoughts on value?

2007 335i sedan, montego/black/alum, SP, PP, CWP, stock BMW OEM style 189 18" wheels powder coated black, sirius, MSRP around $48k. 13k miles on the clock now.

I originally leased it, so it could also be a sweet lease takeover.

Thoughts???

Yeah if it were me I'd try to get someone to take over the lease. No muss no fuss.

[Vitacura]

Definitely.. try swapalease. I've had good results there.

You can't actually sell a leased vehicle, but in most cases if you find someone with credit that your leaser approves of, they'll be perfectly fine with transferring the lease over to the new owner/leasee. Though if you have to transport family members at any time, or otherwise need a somewhat large vehicle, the 1 might not cut it when you need lots of space. Otherwise, there's no reason not to!

Is there a small dent on the front left wheelwell, or is that just a reflection?

[imported_MGoBlue]

interested, what are the lease terms?

If you can afford all those cars just add another driveway or garage and keep all of them. What a nice collection.

did you have your wheels painted black? did you not like the sport package wheels?

i have had a bunch of cars, but what it comes down to is use. i had three porsches in the garage and you can't drive them all at once, so maint/etc suffers. I believe in driving cars, not garage queens. in the end I spent more time with them in for service than driving them.

I have a jeep and MB suv as family movers, and I can take the 135 to the airport when I travel for work, so the 335 just won't get much use.

As for the lease terms, I had a smokin deal, $580 a month (ky taxes incl) after putting the max sec deps down, for a 36 mo/15k mi/yr lease for a very loaded 335i (step, CWP, SP, PP, sirius).

I got it in Mar 07, which means I have put 13k miles on it in 16 months. That leaves 20 more months and 32k more miles left for an avg of 19.2k mi/yr or 1600 mi/month.

as for the wheels, i didn't like the 162s, so I opted for a set of OEM BMW 189s, powder coated black. I can easily sell them and put a set of 162s on if someone wants, but the 189s are sweet.

That is an untrue statement. You can purchase a leased vehicle during the lease for the residual plus whatever the term money is. I purchased my Type R from the previous owner who had leased the car for 1 year on a 3 year deal and I bought it out from GT Leasing, with 2 years remaining on the original owners lease. He had to pay out about 3 grand and I bought it out for the remainder (17.2k). FYI, just sold it for 16.5 (AFTER 4 YEARS)plus made 2k on parts, now THAT is resale value...

absolutely. I know the payoff down to the penny and best thing about this is someone can choose to get the car because they want the remaining lease terms, or because they want to buy it outright immediately upon lease assumption for the stated payoff. there is no prepayment penalty and there is equity in the car (ie i'm not upside down on the payoff even though i put zero down)
