People buying a used 335i would you want extended warranty?

Eat.Sleep.Race · 10-01-2014, 12:41 PM

I might sell my mint condition 335i, in the next 6 months or so, to purchase a M4, and when I bought the car i got the extended FULL warranty, powertrain, transmission, suspention. electronics etc. Which are all covered.

My question is would you pay 2k extra for an immaculate car if it came with a 4 year, 50k extra mile warranty that just started a few months ago? Or should i just cash it in, and sell for 2k less since that is what I would get back from the warranty company since ive only put 1k miles on my car?

Any opinions would be great.

Thanks!

i don't know if I'd pay $2K more, but I'd pay more and the car would be more attractive than a car without.

I would just find out the amount you could get back from the warranty company, then offer it either with the warranty+that amount or without the warranty without that amount.

Seems like that would be fair for both parties.

When bought mine used I paid extra probably 1k more than would have without warranty ...think guy said he could have gotten $1800 if turned warranty in but I wouldn't have bought without warranty....and who knows if he would have sold so quick without it so probably not worry the $800 to him

That def seems to be the best, or ill cover some of the cost to make it more feasable to the potential buyer.

I think BMW warranties can only be purchased by the first owner. In that case, you could possibly even upsell the warranty by a bit as an add-on to the car. If the buyer doesn't want it, get your refund.

my extended warranty has more than paid for itself in the 1.5 years i have had her. Headlight assembly, PS pulley, partial subframe, injectors, HPFP, LPFP..I would be hating this car without it...

Here's my opinion.

Damn you for buying an M4. Why must children cost so much money?? Screw daycare, I'll just follow suit and buy an M4 as well...

Anyways, I'm sure if the warranty is 100% transferable, you should be able to snag about a grand extra for it.
