Exclamation M240xi Fair prices for these?

Hello all,

I am looking at three M240xi Convertibles

The first has 11k miles, CPO, No harman kardon. White/black. Priced at $39,450. This is a 2017 car.

The second has 6k miles, is an "executive demo". Loaded. Gray/red (but with the non-black rims). Priced at $42k. I am based in MN, so shipping costs are a pain... but it is the color I want. This is a 2018 car, has been on the lot for 75 days.

The third has 10k miles, loaded. Black ext, white interior. Priced at $37.5k. 2017 model

Which one would be a better deal? and how much would be a fair price for each?

I only aim to keep the car for a couple of years at most. All of the above are convertibles.

Thank you so much in advance!

I mean, they seem pretty similar and are at similar price points...I would get the one you like the most and stop worry about the best “deal”. It’s not a deal if it’s putting you in the car you don’t want the most.

I'd probably stay away from the demo car. it could have been an executive's car but it also could have been like the cars I drove recently at BMW's ultimate drive autocross event in Philly. The latter is more likely and those 6k miles probably weren't kind. That also may be why it is "loaded".

I agree with the above assessment....you say you plan to keep it for only a few years...perhaps then the later 2018 model makes more sense for re-sale/trade value? Then again, as TCollier91 said, which configuration excites you the most? I for one would pass on the white interior..too much of a pain to keep presentable.

When you mention shipping...perhaps also consider a one-way trip to pick you your new BMW? Many dealers will meet you at the airport and provide you transport to the dealership for your new car....

It's a hit or miss with the demo. I got mine a couple months ago from Alabama; it was a demo. Other than the classic instrument cluster scratch (why everyone still keeps using dry towels to clean the interior is beyond...) it's in pristine condition. Had 6k miles. Plus it is on runflats so doubt anyone tracked it.
38-39 is the most I'd pay for the 2018 car but that's just me.

And you mean to say that you will pay 38-39 for the 2018 convertible, yes?

I have been able to bring the 37.5k 2017 m240ix (black ext, white int) convertible down to 35.5. This one has 10k miles as well.

I would rather go for the 2018 if it can be brought down to 39, but they arev stuck on 42k (this is not even a CPO)

I prefer coupes but yes, same for the convertible. I do not see any extra value in soft roof so it should cost the same. is X drive a necessity for you?
