Nice cars - how do you sell them? - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, I love to buy a new car. Who doesn't? But WTF do you do with the old one? Trade it in and you get boned something fierce. I had an infiniti G35 and it traded in ok but now I have a BMW M3 which was 2 years old with real low miles when I bought it. The trade in is fuking unreal. i paid 51k and they want to trade it in for 33k just 11 months later. Ok 51k was obviously too much at this point. But new ones were 62k and they had one and would not deal at all on it.

So at the rate I am going I have to cough up 10k a year in depreciation to drive a decent car. I am thinking of leasing just so I can drop it off and go buy what I want.

I think you are kinda SOL with a 50k car, not many buyers in that range, so you will get fucked no matter what... but you can try posting it on some bmw forums, ebay, classifieds, etc..

leasing lets you negotiate the end value before you even drive away... pay the entire lease upfront and you don't pay any %interest. Claim business useage and you have yourself a great deal
