In one way you have got to hand it to the guy for trying -- all it takes is one sucker and he comes off looking like a genius. On the other hand maybe what he is not saying is that he got suckered when he bought it and is into it for that much more than it is worth.
Another thought: if he does get that one sucker to pay $14k for it, does that mean that the blue book goes up for us all? Do they use comparables for blue book values? I would think that if they do, that ti sales may actually be few enough that one sale of that magnitude could actually move the needle overall.
On the plus side as well, the car does look nice and clean and he apparently isn't asking so much because he spent a mint to rice it out. | | | | | 07-25-2006, 01:44 AM | #21 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Ohio Posts: 13 |

Response 1..
Well, it's is in great condition and one of very few made. It's not a car that I want to get rid of, so I am asking what I want for it. All the miles are interstate miles and the car is actually a 96 with a bigger engine. Just a fix that needs to be made on the title. It was made in the year 95 but in Nov which atuomatically makes it a 96

Indeed. But the car does have the 1.9. I didn't know this until about a few months ago when I went to go get the oil changed.
And I am just simply unwilling to give the car up for a low price. It's rare, I won't be able to get another, and it's in perfect condition. I am A HUGE fan of BMW's as well. But, I did lower the price, as well as the reserve. But I just cannot give it away...this isn't a car that I will mind being with for a while. | While being a HUGE fan of BMWs, he doesn't know much about his car... 1.9 318ti does not equal 318ti clubsport... With that but-it-now price, I can buy 3 318ti sports lol... or a 318ti + M3 heh... (assuming average pricing for a ti is around $5,000-$6,000...according to KBB or what not... and the M3 around $10,000-$12,000 for the average M3) -Randy __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport.

KBB values will not increase because KBB is a measure of asking prices at dealers, not actual selling price private or dealer. __________________
