okay it's not exactly a feeler. but i want to get you guys' opinions (and i'm sorry if this is not the right place in the forum).

i leased an '07 328i in july of last year. 4dr, black on black, sport package, 6spd.

i'm very happy with the car but i've moved very close to where i work and i can barely drive the car.

i got two options:
1. trade the lease (on leasetrader.com or maybe here??) and say goodbye to my down payment
2. buy the car with a loan and sell it myself. kbb says $34.5k for excellent condition.

now selling myself sounds great if only i could get close to what kbb says but i know it's hard. the car is in tip top condition. what do you guys think is a fair price for the car? and/or what do you think i should do?

i'm looking to get a manual e30 or e36 for a project car.

if anyone interested, email at aakgiray AT gmail DOT com

thanks a lot.
