Time to sell my M5...

Hi everyone..

It's time to sell my M5 (2016/66) and I wondered if anyone has had experience of where it's best to advertise it. I've tried auto trader in the past with little success (other cars) and actually ended up selling it on eBay...though this will be a bit more expensive.

Mine is an M5 Comp Pack 66 plate (UK) with 41k. BMW warranty for one more year, service pack and a few extras like multi seats, lane departure etc, so quite nice spec and desirable to someone in the market.

Obviously we buy any car etc are easy but I'm loathed to start there as it's probably 15 to 20% below what I could get, but only if I get it.

Been a fantastic beast to own but time to move on...

Any views on your experiences would be very gratefully received.

I would try Pistonheads as well as Autotrader.

Also if trading it in be prepared for a shock, spec sounds good but mileage is very high given what's currently available

Expect a trade price of around £35K and £4-5k more if sold privately

Some dealerships sell on your behalf and take a cut. I've done that with Munich Legends. Considerably more than PX or we buy any car but less than private sale (which'll take a lot longer usually).

Thank you that's helpful.
That's about right I think yes. I'm hoping to get around £39 ish...hopefully private obviously and as you say, about £34-35k ish trade in.

The spec is good but the miles are high as you say. That said it's literally 95% motorway so it doesn't feel it at all, though that matters not a lot...
Thanks for your reply.

Thank you.
We buy any car come out around £34k and was hoping to get around £39k, maybe £40k if I tell a joke and maybe do a dance...I'll take a look at munich legends...hadn't thought about that.
I don't really like the private route as it's a pain, but then I do like 3 or 4k more in my pocket..
Thanks for the reply

Woody - I'm currently on the hunt for a M5. Maybe drop me a PM with the car's details if you decide to move it on?
