I have a 2007 Diesel BMW 520 with a little under 160000km

You need to provide a bit more detail than that. Service History, spec, condition, NCT/tax expiry dates, number of owners, colour, manual/auto, etc. All these will influence it's market value.

Donedeal.ie is usually has the best audience for private sales. If you want to sell it quickly then you need to price it aggressively.

Have a look at the price of similar cars on Donedeal. The lower you price it compared to the competition, the quicker it will sell.

Auto
Navy
NCT 04/15

it had no service book when I bought it so I only know whats been done for the last few years

Is it an import?

pwalker

No original irish car

Auto is a good thing and will make it more desirable than a manual. There is one very similar up on donedeal in silver at €9200. Is that yours?

pwalker

Nope dont have it up for sale yet

R.O.R

Leather, Fusion or cloth interior?

The gap in service history would be off putting for me and may require you to price it accordingly, although presumably you picked it up cheaper as a result so this probably is no big deal for you. Do you know the previous owner or the cars history? This may help to reassure potential buyers.

bazz26

Well the cheapest auto on donedeal.ie with similar mileage is asking €9200 and that has leather. So if you want to sell it quickly then it will need to be priced under that.

pwalker

Ye it has leather and Bluetooth
i have a bunch of receipts for various work that was done some from me and others from the glove box
Car is going well just time for an upgrade

bazz26

Auto, leather and Bluetooth are all desirable in a car like that. Service history is important but as the car gets older there is less chance of it having a full one, at least you can show any potential owner that it has invoices/receipts during your ownership. Should be easy enough to sell once priced right which really depends on how quickly you want it shifted.

Id like to sell it in the next week

What price would I put the ad up for and what would I look for as my rock bottom

Is carzone or donedeal the place to advertise it ?

Ill give you a cheaky offer of a grand for it :pac:

What's the lowest price you're willing to sell it for and list a couple of hundred over that (to allow haggle room).
Make sure that its cheaper than the next similar model up on done deal, but not to cheap to raise suspicion so I'd say if the next car is 9000 list her at 8500-8700.

Donedeal if its private.
Carzone is overpriced and gets nowhere near the traffic of done deal.

A friend of mine bought one of these for 8k a few months back, gold colour (on his one) wouldn't be my first choice but I thought it was a good deal. Mileage etc was similar. Can't recall if his is auto or manual.
