Holy cow, three pedals, it is local to me, very dangerous.

'Lovely cars but ones a bit old (2013 is the limit) and the other a bit pricy ($15k tops). Quite like the look of this, though not so keen on living the RUC life. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/320d/listing/4178515256

I’m an idiot, the 5 series I’ve been looking at is F10, I take it the same rules on engines apply. Good tip on the electronics in the 5, whatever I get ideally needs to last 5 years without costing the moon. even the 3 series will be more luxurious and spacious than a Prius or a leaf

Good to know thanks, the fuel is deductible, if I could afford a v8 or a turbo I’d probably go for it, costs are deductible after all 😉 I’m aiming for 2013 or newer and under 15k. how are the diesel engines?

That one doesn’t meet the age requirement anyway 😂

I’m contemplating a 3 or 5 series for my occasional trips to town and also my ubering. so probably at the lower engine capacities, I’m leaning more towards a 5 as my passengers would appreciate the roominess, a nice 5 series in black could probably do well if I decided to dabble in private hire as well. And yes I know I should be using a Prius, but I’d rather be comfortable if I’m going to have to sit on my ass and drive all day, currently I have a ford fiesta S but the manual trans is killing my left knee.

I do wish you a happy bargain. likely someone around the Shore knows something? @BreakMyWindow?

Ever heard the saying ‘There is nothing more expensive than a cheap BMW’?

I’m on the fence about how good of a deal this is.

Ohhhh baby.... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/328i/listing/3441507154?bof=ZXTjCau1 An ex 318 touring with a certified 328 and coilover conversion. $15K no reserve, seems pretty reasonable to me? Not sold on the seat colour It does bug me when people sell cars without WOF's or even WOF attempts that have expired, especially when claiming it'll sail through without problems.

@aja540i When it comes to V8’s I’m all about the smiles per gallon not the miles per gallon. @E30 325i Rag-Top I do only need to tow it once, maybe I can set a fuel inefficiency record.

@Sammo that’d be the smart thing to do.the bighorns I’ve seen down here are either crazy money or beaten and abused. The the prices on prado’s seem excessive also. @Gaz that’s one point to having a fly ride for the holidays. Might look out of place at the festivals I plan on hitting.

I need someone to talk some sense into me. I just need an interim vehicle that can haul a 6m caravan from Takaka to Christchurch. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-3319678227.htm

Bold to price it at E30 M3 money, Surely?

Yes they have, sorry, have updated the post
