What is up with these damn dealerships

Grim, you could also take your M3 to a CarMax and see what they will give you. I could be the same as you would get from the dealer you are buying from and then you could fly and buy if you wanted. I sold a car to them a couple of years ago and got top dollar without buying anything from them.

Thanks for the info Newbie. There is a local Mercedes used car dealer here that is always looking for quality cars. He once told me that he would buy my car if I wanted to sell. He is my backup plan in case the Hummer dealer doesn't want to give me Kelly BB trade in value, but I'll definately check into CarMax too.

It's a rough game but you got play and play hard.

CarMax actually gave me the top figure that KBB said I should get for trade in. I was happy with that. Good luck.

This whole BMW and Hummer thing seems pretty common...My wife drives a 2003 330Ci in Steel Blue (no M3 for her) and I ordered the Slate Blue H3. From the pics posted earlier, I think they will be a near match in color. I chose not to use the West Palm Hummer dealer, even though they are 40 miles closer to me. They tried to hard sell me on existing/incoming stock and the "test drive" consisted of the salesman diving fast through a puddle between their parking lots. They were nice to talk to and did give me a brochure.
