Trade in my Ibiza FR for an E46 3 series coupe?

Ibiza is 06 plate, 60,000 miles, due a service and requiring a few bits and pieces done. BMW giving me £5500 for it.

Coupe is 04 but on 43,000 miles, 12 months mot, 6 months tax, 1 service free of charge. cost to change is £5500.

Opinions please

Have you thought about the extra running costs of a BMW?

I'd do it but not for a BMW.

You're paying 11k for a 5 year old pretty basic beemer.

I'm looking at getting rid of my 56 plate FR and I've been offered a lot more (privately) than you've been offered there. I've done less than 1/2 the miles you have though

I have, the cost of change isn't really an issue tbh. Tyres will be more expensive when the time comes, there isn't a great difference in insurance and fueling it won't be too bad as I won't hammer it to the same extent I hammer the Ibiza.

Yeh, also there is a bit of work to do on the ibiza. Im not handy with spanners and generally can't be arsed learning so could be pricey. Service is required now, so thats a few hundred quid, cv joints could do to be done, discs and pads on the front and two tyres.

Tbh I just want to change the Ibiza and I have always loved E46 coupes

As tom said, not an 04. Also the m3 will near bankrupt me on insurance and fuel!

Fair enough, the Mk4s do seem to vary massively in price

Yeh, auto trader can leave you believing you can demand a large amount for one

I reckon £5500 isn't bad considering the car isn't in top notch nick and has done a few miles now. I still like it, but just want a change tbh

AT is full of traders thinking they can get about 2k more than the cars worth! Or traders thinking Mk4 Fr's cost over 15k new!
