I've been monitoring the m2 market for the last 6 months and now that I am in a legitimate position to buy one it seems the prices have gone up. Is due to low supply? (Only 170 on auto trader)/ high demand. Or the time of year? Is this a bad time to buy one?

[XutvJet]

Used car prices are at an all time high. Most are 15-20% higher than they were 6 months ago.

I too have been looking at OG M2s for over a year.

[Dj_Quik]

They selling one here in my area. 2017 with 26000 kms /16000 miles for 52000 canadian 😂😂😂. Bought mine for low 40 2 years ago. Used car prices are ridiculous rn

[///M TOWN]

As long as they keep crashing them

[Nettles]

M2c for sure

[lalaland7894]

Do you guys think this means it’s just not a good time to buy? Crazy how much price has gone up

[stulio2181]

I haven't checked used prices in a while, and you're correct from my casual search. Saw an '18 MG DCT with 48k mi listed at $43,900 USD. Wow. Curious what's driving these prices.

[GoneIn4Secs]

If you think about it , the f87 cars are one of the last to have DCTs, with the sport chassis these type cars are rarer now, in that they give you a taste of what motorsports used to be like

Rough, rugged and raw ;-D

Funny you say that, because manual transmission cars far outnumber dcts in my search. Maybe the secondhand market prefers the dct? Would've thought for sure it would be the opposite

Perhaps. Coming from a long history of manuals, I absolutely love the 3rd pedal. Manual on my M235 was great. Opted for the DCT this round with my M2 due to daily driver and commuting demands. Best of both worlds, 2nd only to a PDK on a p car. So probably grabs a larger audience in the marketplace.

[popcornten]

This is why I ended up ordering a new one, PO market is on fire with no sign of slowing down with new car shortages getting worse as plants close due to lack of parts and computer chips.

Supply and demand

[///MPhatic]

Used car sales/prices of all kinds are just through the roof. A good friend of mine owns a small car lot. They have about 100 cars on hand at any given time, and sell about 35 to 50 a month. Last month they sold 128, and the month before that 120.

I bought my '18 with 9400 miles on it in August of 2019 for $48K. The car now has 17K on the clock and he said he could give me $50K for it and easily turn a good profit. Just weird.

Seems like the perfect time for og owners who are looking to upgrade to offload their cars. But they're are still only like 10 cars that match the spec I'm looking for on auto trader. Like you said the whole market is weird.

[KevinC]

Everything is going up. Hopefully this isn't the beginning of hyper-inflation.

You are correct, sir. Hopefully a blip and just exuberance from post Covid, of course not CA and NY who are still oppressed.

Lol not really. Dealerships here are slime balls. Friend of mine tried to trade in a 2016 and they offered 24000 canadian. Another buddy got a quote for his 2017 for 30000. Then they turn around and sell em for 45000 to 50000. Not a good time to trade in at all!!! Then again, knowing this, you could probably try and negotitate a helluva deal if you want an OG.

Bought my 2017 6MT in June ‘19 with 10k miles on it for $43,500. At 32k miles it’s now worth $42k- a good 3 grand more than it was at a similar mileage last fall.
