Now that is nice although i don't like the black wheels!

Mileage is a little high too as a daily driver 145k yikes! Its local, so i might go and have a look.....

[hap]

Rav I’m not overally a fan of black wheels and dynamics on the 3 but certain colours it does look right and this is one I think just does look nice with the little details and contrast interior I recall I posted this car a few years ago and it’s quite rare colour in the e92
Be worth a look either way

[Rav]

High miles are sacaring me Hap!!

[hap]

True but appears a lot of consumables esp turbo have been changed water pump etc it’s a low owner car and Imagine most of miles will be motorway anyways
Depends if paperwork and service ties up
A good way to arrive at work

Thanks - They are asking me for a rough guide on what I would want as a part ex value for my B3 3.3. Any ideas?

Rav - below are listed the current B3 3.3's for sale. The pricing seems to be all over the place and some of them have been for sale 12mths plus. I would say from what i have seen there isn't much interest/demand for the B3 3.3's currently, so a private sale will be tricky/slow.

B3 3.3 [E46] #184 Sienna Red II/Black Montana Leather; 2000_W; £6.5k; 115k; Private
B3 3.3 [E46] #236 Alpina Green/Grey Montana Leather; 2000_W; £15.0k; 43k; Trade
B3 3.3 [E46] #237 Titanium Silver/Black Montana Leather; 2000_W; £2.8k; 154k; eAuction

B3 3.3 [E46] #325 Topaz Blue/Light Grey Montana Leather; 2000_W; £6.2k; 125k; Trade
B3 3.3 [E46] #348 Alpina Blue II/Gold Dekor/Cashmire Lavalina Leather; 2000_X; £9.0k; 94k; Trade
B3 3.3 [E46] #450 Black Sapphire/Black Leather; 2001_Y; £10.0k; 112k; Private

#236 was up privately from Aug-18 (£15k) to Sep-19 when it was sold for £10k to the trader currently asking £15k again. Private seller reported very little interest, just messers offering <£5k
#325 has been with same seller since Aug-18 (£6.5k) continuously, dropped to £5.5k Jul-Sep this year and then back to £6.2k
#450 has been through a couple of dealer/traders since it first appeared at £13k in Jun-18, dropped as low as £7k between Sep-Nov-19, now back to £10k with another seller.

I think your car is about 100k miles, so would estimate a dealer might offer it around the £6-8k range and you can derive a trade-in value from there.

There are also 7 Cabrios and 1 Coupe for sale. If you want more info let me know.

For some reason I can't put more than 3 links in a post?

Thanks CeaserBob - That doesn't make for good reading. My car is worth more to me than those numbers. I am trying to reduce my fleet as I currently have the B3 3.3 and a original Boxster S. My daughter is learning how to drive and there is no space for her car as my wife also has an Audi A4.

I thought that this E92 might be a good part ex for the boxster and the B3.

[Bob]

Sorry Rav. The other benchmark was #061 (Techno Violet) that was at Morris Leslie Auctions in August. That made £5.6k and was around the 85k mark.

Ultimately, this is all a guide, but if there is a number that makes the deal work for you, start there and see what they say. You’ve got nothing to lose.

[hap]

If u don’t ask and all that as bob says

[hap]

Did u end up viewing this rav?

[hap]

[Rav]

No, i didnt bother. I saw the D3 Bi turbo advertised and went for that before it sold.
