Default Sold my IS350 for a M4

I just traded in my 2014 IS350 Fsport for a 2016 M4. I think I got lowballed on the trade in. The dealer bought my car for 31500 with only 7000 miles. I tried to sell my Fsport intake and exhaust separately on this forum for dirt cheap, apparently no one wanted it. So I sold with the car basically for free. I test drove the RCF before buying the M4. The RCF felt just like my IS350 and felt heavy and I hated that. M4 felt more powerful and balanced. Dual Clutch trans is amazing. Anyways, here are some pic of my new M4

wow beautiful such a nice upgrade. and yeah i know what you mean. sat in the RC Fsport & RCF which i was interested in trading in my 14 350 fsport for. I felt the same way, felt like i was sitting in my IS lol. regardless congrats on the new purchase!!! you should've sold your car to carmax maybe? or at least gotten quote i heard they're really good with pricing. but its all said and done now and that m4 is a beauty!!

Nice car. They did a great job with under hood presentation. CarMax gives between trade in and private. Sold several cars there. Only way to go imo.

If it didn't snow in my area, I'd pick up a C63s in a heart beat. Nice ride man, enjoy.

Nice pick up! Man $31k?!! I really think the trade in values are not correct, they are valuing the 14s like second gens. Try a 15 with the same mileage and its like a $6k difference.

I did go to CarMax as well. CarMax offered 30k, lower than the dealer. KBB had my car valued near 34k. 50k MSRP depreciated almost 20k in 2yrs, something doesn't sound right.

nah thats about right, car drops like 20% value as soon as you drive it off a dealer's lot.
34k is sad but about right :/


M4 is such a nice car x] I put it on a different tier compared to RCF :P
