Default West coast GXP prices...

For you guys out here in the west coast, how much are you seeing GXP's sell for? The BMW dealer told me I'm likely to get the lowest KBB trade in value price...which is whack. But I think I'm in love with the 335i coupe so I may have to jump ship but would hate to just give the car away for ******' only $12k!! Which is exactly what I was strugglin with earlier in the year, taking such a hit after a year.

Anyways, what are the prices near you guys out here?

Here in Florida the dealer gave me 15.6K for my 08 GXP with 27.5K miles on it...might be worth traveling to trade if you really want to get rid of it.

Haha my friend just got one, his parents paid $39k for a used car with 20k on the odometer. They move well, I just hate the Bimmer stereotype....there's way too many ****** for every one tight owner. And I get tired of seeing them.

They are all concerned with appearance mods outside of exhaust/intake/tune. I may not be faster NA but it makes me laugh nonetheless. I've never felt so ignored at a bimmer meet too--they can be real ********.

I'm tired of the GM dealer service. You have to work at it to get them to honor warranties, no courtesy cars, crappy shuttle service options, techs leaving at 4pm, no appointments, take stuff in they say its "repaired", local dealers closing etc. BMW certified pre owned vehicles have remainder of 50k maintenance for wipers/brakes/oil and an extended 100k warranties and plenty of courtesy cars on hand. Either way I'm still only considering it, not set on buying one. I'm going to take into consideration the price I can find one for, price I can sell GXP for, and how comfortable I'll be financially.

To each their own but I get a kick out of a four door familty sedan beating the crap out of a coupe anyday! And besides A g8 looks very simular to a BMW. A fully loaded G8 GXP costs the same as a base model 335i, so no question for me.

What area of Florida was this dealer in? I might have to email east coast dealers this upcoming week if they're offering 4-5k more on trade in on that side. Even minus shipping cost that's still more than I can get out here!
