1999 M3 goes for around $18,000-$20,000. Convertible goes for close to $22,000.

Acura Tl 2004 goes for $27,000 (non-navigation)

Private Party Value Search Local Listings | List This Car for Sale $22,585

Kelly Blue book, owned you


Well you must have a convertible

or your car likes to sit in the garage a lot

Even if it was $22,585 a 2004 TL is not less than that..

nope not a vert and BMWs hold their value, #1 value holding car.

You just need to look at KBB.com and get your pricing down, I like the TL and i would love to own one.
1. I WANT NAV
2. like the look
3. has more than enough power to have fun and just be a daily driver.

1999 BMW M3 (non-navigation non-premium) with 50,000 miles in good condition goes for $18,000

I then went and added every option I could (navigation, premium wheels, integrated phone..)
50,000 miles , good condition -> $20,005

What are you debating with me exactly? I just simply pointed out that your M3 is not even close to being more expensive than a 2004 TL

Buy it!!

It's for my wife. :) My car is a manual.

I have no idea what M3s have to do with this. :confused: They're $50k new vs $30s for a TL, it's a coupe vs. a sedan...

for one thing the 99 and under M3 do not have NAV or and option for it,

Iam not debating anything just stating my love for my cars strong market value and that if i sold it I would consider a TL to replace it just like the OP, well his car got smashed, but

I can get way more than 20k for my car, just letting you know

I just listed my TL strong points for the OP

I have an 04 w/NAVI. Can't live without the NAVI anymore. Once you punch in your destination, you can completely turn off your brain.
