We signed for our M135i on Nov 28 and agreed a (pretty pants!) px price on our 335d. The mileage at the time was 57400 but the sales guy put 57000.
We are now on 58300. The car should be ready the second week of Jan. We have suddenly had a flurry of work meetings come up and I reckon we'd stick another 1000 miles on at least (I won't go over 60k though).
I have just stuck brand new rear tyres on so no wear there (the fronts are on 6mm); is this mileage reasonable? The contract just says "reasonable mileage!"

I'm worrying about it too much. I've emailed the sales guy but I can imagine he will want as little mileage as possible.

We have the van but it's thirsty, a bit slow and harder to park although it's comfortable over long distances.

Depends on age of car they will prob chuck it strait to auction

Matteeboy

Forgot that bit; 56 plate (late 2006).

Main dealer you going thro ? Would guess that old won't be on their forecourt

Yours is probably too old for main dealers to sell on, they'll have a list of smaller independent garages they deal with to off load part exchange vehicles, failing that an auction.
As for your mileage concerns I wouldn't worry, unless of course you stack 1000's on it.

Yep, main dealer.

This shows you how concerned he is about the mileage. Also "reasonable mileage!" is ambiguous and shows a further lack of concern on the part of the sales guy.

If you hadn't emailed them, I'd be surprised if they even checked it, they might now though.

Ahh, wish I'd known. I used to trade cars to dealers a few years back. Probably could have got you a better price for your 335d and inturn you could have got a better price on your M135 without the px.

Is it a done deal?

PaulC72

to be fair a few 1000 miles in a couple of months shouldn't be a problem after all you need to be able to drive something until you new one is ready/

they won't risk you walking away if they throw up a stink as they will have the other car to shift then.

Matteeboy

TBH I don't know the contractual commitment but I have signed a piece of paper with the agreed amount.

I guess if they do quibble I can remind them how much of a bargain they are getting a low mile 335d for?!
