Black book wholesale prices?

Does anyone have access to Black Book wholesale prices? I am considering terminating my lease early on a 2001 BMW 330i. I already spoke with BMWFS regarding my options - hence the request for black book wholesale.

The vehicle is:

2001 BMW 330i (lease originated 8/01)
Ti Silver
Sport/Prem/HK/Xenon
16800 miles

Perfect condition (courtesy of Autopia!)

I am looking to get into a 2003 Porsche 911. I am trying to not mix my current lease with another lease so that the numbers aren't as complicated. Any other pearls of wisdom regarding the situation in general are welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

I assume its a 330i Automatic. At auction they're doing $27-28K. Yours is def the right color and has all the right options; it's the ideal 330i. I wouldn't take any less than $27,500 for it and I'd shoot for $28,500 and settle somewhere in between. This car should bring all the money. Only problem is the market (Indy) which is not as strong on BMW's as Chicago or NYC is. If you get lowballed consider driving to Chicago to shop it. Might be worth $1000 to you. Call dealer and make an appt to see the Used Car Manager for an appraisal. If its up to Autopian standards I'm sure he'll want to see it.

Good luck and let us know what happens.

Thanks for the advice guys - I ended up getting 28K for the car and am going to get into a 2003 Porsche 911. I will be driving down to Louisville, Kentucky this weekend to pick it up!
