TIPS ON BUYING A USED BMW
Any BMW lover will know that they tend to hold their value pretty well and for those who dont have the finances for a new one, thats good news. What it means for the average buyer is that they can get a pretty reasonably priced second hand BMW, and they will know that it will give them years of service.

1 Dont Buy in Haste
You might think the first one you see is the only decent one you will find, but dont jump in and buy it. Check on eBay Motors and your local dealers first and make a note of the ones you like. Dont be afraid to wait a while and dont be pressured by an eager salesman who said he had an offer on it this morning. Take your time and find the right one for you.
2 Check Mileage

Sensibility and Sense
Typically a BMW will be a reliable car for many years, providing you take care of it. Not everyone sees it this way, so just be cautious and exercise good sense when choosing your new BMW.
