If I said that to mine, the reply would be - no you're not buying it! Which I would promptly respond - too late! haha ?. Great purchase for whomever has bought it!

Just because it's an amazing car doesn't make it a financial sensible option to keep both the M5 and the M3. I'm going overseas shortly and it was either or and the M3 fits my needs better. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 1925 Report post Posted March 10, 2020 That comment section. Warriors vs White Knights. I'm pretty sure one of those white knights would let you have a turn on his Mrs if you sell it for that much (which you probably will). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a moderator you're pretty loose with keeping the forum rules. I thought Bimmersport were trying to build a healthy forum culture rather than try tear into people. I'm mates with Brad and posted on TradeMe that cause I thought some of the comments were dumb ones from Warriors. Didn't need to get personal about a TradeMe comment, just keep it civil.

NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted March 11, 2020 Who cares what it sold for previously? If you want to spend $30K on it, spend it. If not, don’t. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not spending 30k on a car that was 20k less than a month ago and would make sure others dont get ripped off either.

Interesting view points. Out of curiosity, where do people sit on flipping cars for profit? I'm all for freedom of information, so people can make informed decisions. People (especially forum members) should be free to post what it sold for in the recent or far past, or history of ownership if known by other members etc. so that other members aren't buying blind. At the same time, with complete information, people are entitled to buy and sell whatever they want at a price they think it is worth. If the market is there for the car, won't the market determine the selling price of the car? I mean for a tidy E39 M5, what is it worth irrespective of what it sold for? I would guess more than $20k. And considering there aren't any others up for sale in NZ at the moment, what would make a E39 M5 at around $30k a rip-off? If it was sold earlier at $20k, how much time would have to pass to make it "not a rip-off" in your opinion? Edited March 11, 2020 by k3zza Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
