Nice car, good luck with the sale...

I'm just curious though, is it the stock engine, or was the engine rebuilt or replaced?

Engine internals are stock. The PO had a rebuilt head installed. I installed the go-fast bits. :banana1:

Very niiice car, not a big BMW fan but I've driven a stock M3 and it was a BLAST...!!! I can only imagine what yours is like.....:thumbsup

Also, I can totally see where you're coming from with not being able to drive a nice car year round. We are most likely moving this October to AZ and one of the main reasons is just that.....

SNOW FTL...!!! :loser :loser :loser

Beautiful car! Good luck with the sale. Adam and I have been looking at BMWs lately, but he is a little addicted to E30s right now.

About how many miles on the rebuild? And was it rebuilt because of being over-reved, or don't you know??

The previous owner mis-shifted and over-revved the motor bending the valves. There was no damage to the pistons, but the car does have a new head, timing belt, and tensioner (replaced at 85,000 miles)

Planning on replacing it with a Saab 9-2x Aero (Subaru WRX wagon). Turbo wagon + AWD = fun year round. :D

Bump. Price lowered to $12,500. If you are coming from out of state, I'd be more than willing to negotiate covering your airfare as well. I'm in the process of finding an OEM hood as well.

No nothing to do with Team Rush. Tony (JunkGSX) found the girls and convinced them to model.

Have you tried Ebay?

I cant believe your car has not sold yet.

I know, it's been a struggle. Lots of interested buyers, but they end up flaking out at the last minute.

I thought about eBay, but the listing fee and final value fees would add up. I'm already loosing more money than I wanted at the current price.

Try Autotrader or such... :thumbsup

Already there too at a slightly higher price. I'd rather give the enthusiasts a better deal than some kid scouring autotrader. :thumbsup

I did autotrader too and I've had only 2 contacts. It isn't a seller's market right now.

Considering dealers are damn near giving shit away right now and with super low available financing people are almost better off buying NEW cars.

Crawlin
05-26-2008, 01:00 PM
Tony's right...

we've been selling Ford Focus' like hotcakes at $250 OVER sticker :)

we can't keep enough of them on the dealer lot

But that's probably the best looking M3 of that generation i've ever seen!

murdoc158
05-27-2008, 03:11 PM
I guess eBay isn't too bad. $40 to list plus a fixed fee once your reserve is hit.

Jason, good luck with sale! Car looks sexy as always, suprised it hasn't sold yet.. I think a lot of it has to do with the credit crunch since most people will not be buying in cash.

Plus it's a specialty car to begin with then on top of that it's modified.

You were coming to (I think) a red light by Calhoun, since I just had a green arrow to turn left onto Mooreland going north. Unless you just went right through the light! (:
