So I bought a CPO 2021 BMW 530e in February with 17k miles and had it since. I don’t drive much, only put 4k miles on it since, and paid about $47K (which seemed like a good deal at the time) and put $5k down. I also did a 72 month lease, and definitely don’t think I’ll want the car another 5 years.
I’m worried the car market will keep tanking and got an offer for essentially my exact Loan amount of $37.6K from vroom, so essentially I’ll paid off the loan, but have technically spent $5k plus 7 payments ($10kish) to own this car for 8-9 month which seems stupid, but again, maybe better to sell now then potentially lose more later?
Let me know your thoughts, would greatly appreciate it.
You buy a BMW because you want a BMW. If you’re worried about resell value, you’re doing it wrong. There are many cars out there that will hold their value better than a BMW. If that is your primary concern, get rid of it and buy a Lexus ES or something that will hold its value better.
This was me lol
2019 540i—> 2023 ES 350 F Sport
I miss the 540 but happy with my decision. Myself personally, I value the reliability of Japanese.
It’s not to say I won’t get a 340 at some point in the future, but it will be leased and will be my fun car.
Big downgrade fr in every other aspect than reliability and resale
Which are the two factors that actually matter to me.
Get a Toyota then
