2001 330i for $24,700???

[wishihad50k]

I found a 2001 330i (black with black leather, manual trans, upgraded bmw wheels,etc) it has 17,000 miles on it and the guy wants $24,700 for it (he says thats 7k under blue book?) Is this a great deal?? What is the diff. between the 330ci and the 330i???thanks

I don't know about 7k under blue book but I think it's a pretty good deal especially with only 17,000 miles on it. I'd check with him if there are any other options on it. 330ci is coupe and 330i is sedan. Base MSRP for coupe is more than that of sedan's unless we are talking four wheel drive.

Here's another car that's for sale. It looks like it's loaded and more.

That sounds like a good deal to me You could get at least high 20's or more here.

That's a really great deal. Most dealers probably have them listed around 28K - 33K pending on the options. As many must have said to you, you should probably take a closer look at the details of the car being offered. Definitely run a car fax history report. If possible, as for the repair history from the owner. It could be obtained at the dealership.

I drive a well equipped 330CI. I am basically in love with the ride and handling on the 330CI (with the sport package). You will feel the difference driving a 330 with and without the sports package (upgraded suspension, rims, steering wheel). The car is a really solid car with good power.

Good luck with the car if things work out well. Keep us posted.

It's pretty rare to find a '01 330I or 330CI with <20K miles, well equipped for <$28K.

The NADA book values the car between 24k and 30k. I would say that it is an average deal. It depends on the condition of the car.
