How much is our BMW 1 Series worth?
Hi guys. We're thinking about trading in our car for a 172 VW . How much would a 4 door, White 2012 BMW 1 Series. 2.0ltr Diesel. 143k miles. Manual be worth? Cheers!
Our answer:
Hi Darragh,
If that’s genuinely 143,000 miles – i.e. the car was a UK import – then you’re probably looking at a market value of around €8,500. If it’s 143,000km, then you might get more like €11,500-€12,000 for it. Trade-in values are lower, of course, so budget on being offered €6,500 to €7,000 by the Volkswagen dealer for 143,000 miles and probably €10,000, at most, for 143,000km.
