*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I have a customer doing a property deal at the moment. A part of that deal is a 1994 850 Csi. 1 Hong Kong owner (present owner) 20,000 km, Manual transmission, Silver with black leather, deep dished BBS mags and is in really mint condition. Any ideas as to value ??? or is anyone interested ? Cheers Glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to try and keep it overnight. I have to do a thorough inspection of the car. Do pics in the morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I've just checked all my dealer web pages, and there doesn't seem to be any 850Csi's listed, in fact was there a Csi model? My books show only the 850iA & 840Ci. as being sold new in NZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr E34 11 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Is this a genuine csi like Brads? If so worth something, post the chassis number. Should be 6 speed & 5.6ltr with M on the engine. Edit: Tell your friend if he accepts any cars for property the car must be valued low.(50% of retail) Otherwise why would you bother taking a possible pile of old junk for REAL ESTATE.

Yes it is a proper Csi with the V12. I can give more details after lunch when he drops it off for the pre-purchase. I saw it this morning and it looked real mint. But I need to give it a thorough going over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 427 Report post Posted August 11, 2008 As with any property trade deal, I'm sure both parties have inflated the price of their side. I would have thought it was worth $40-50k if it is a genuine CSi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought it was worth $40-50k if it is a genuine CSi. Yeah, but who is going to write out a cheque for that amount on the spot? These property deals never work. Why would want to get stuck with something you then have to go to the effort of trying to find a buyer for? You would only ever want to trade it for an amount someone else has promised to take it off your hands for. With this sort of car, I doubt there would be many buyers out there - especially at a premium price. In this case, I doubt a dealer would want to retail it for more than $29,995. Yes, there may be some for sale around the $50k mark - but who is buying them? Your client would be ill-advised to pay anything more than $20k for this car, unless he has a buyer lined up who is willing to pay more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creaver 55 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 If it's mint, how come it hasn't been rego'd or wof'd for a while? Surely it'd fly through? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted August 12, 2008 Maybe it's been sitting while the Hong Kong owner has been in Hong Kong? Glenn, maybe contact Gerry Hodges of the BMWCC? I'm sure some club member will be willing to pay top dollar for it. You could even call Team McMillian, if it's mint maybe it's something Bob McMillian might like in his personal collection.

If you'd considered what I said, in that both parties inflate the value of their respective trades, that is precisely why they work. I have seen a deal involving 8 cars, a boat plus cash for 3 houses. All the cars were at retail plus and all the houses were above market. Both parties factor this in and end out coming out with the result they want. And there are plenty of people out there to whom $50k is nothing for the right car.
