I am glad to see you still have this. These M156 V8s really are something else. Funnily enough since between the last time I replied and now I have gone through 2 more 2012 C63s however both were white coupes and P31.

Hi Andrew, can't believe I just saw this thread - I was talking to someone about the car and looking for my sell thread photos and stumbled across this! I had been keeping an eye on TradeMe to see if it would ever have been relisted. The car is looking great and loving the stuff you have done to it. I was a fan of the blacked out trim as I thought it looked more aggressive and the white and black interior was something special. I miss the noise this car would make and now considering to get back into another one! I'm sure you would agree now the facelift model was indefinitely much nicer than the 08-10 cars ;) I still look back at the photos.

Very sad news. Had the pleasure to meet the man at one of the last Christchurch meets and see his beautiful V8 E30. Wasn't until this morning when I saw on Nikita's post that I realised this sad news. He definitely made had an influence on here and the Counterstrike communities. Rest In Peace Atta.

Apparently the 300ZX appreciated within a month?! Asking 60k. I'm not too sure how many people wil lbe thinking... "I got 60k to buy myself a car.. I don't want a M or AMG or a cheap Maserati. I know! I'll get a 24 year old Z!"

I've always referred to this colour as "Nardo Grey". I personally like it a lot.

Hi all, I am based in Christchurch - currently looking for a E91 (preferred) or E90 for a daily driver. Max mileage looking below 150k kms. I am looking for a Msport unless it is 2009+ LCI. Most other options to me aren't dealbreakers and aren't too important. Would also prefer a car with a good consistent service history. Thanks

There is a fine line between what people think their car is worth against what it will actually sell for.

Welcome Carl, Great looking E34 - they just have a very timeless classic look! Not sure how active the CHCH members are of late though! Andy

Price reduced - $40,995. Thanks.

Hi folks, I am selling my Mercedes 2012 C63 AMG. This is the facelifted model (2011+) with all the factory upgrade s to resolve the head bolt, lifters, etc present on the pre-facelift model. Other than fixing reliability issues, the facelifted models have DRLs, updated interior, updated gauge to a full colour screen, LED lights and biggest of all a much better gearbox (7 Speed MCT speedshift). Service completed last week at a Christchurch MB specialist therefore next service at 122,000kms with WOF to renewed next year. Tyres with a good amount of tread. Highly optioned from factory: - 6.2 V8 (451hp) - Factory two tone leather interior (White with black inserts) - Heated seats - NZ Navigation - Two way sunroof - Reversing Camera - Parking sensors Aftermarket parts added: - Escort Passport 9500ci Laser/Radar Detector/Jammers profession hardwired into the car ($2,000 USD) - I believe this is even better than the Valentine V1. - Addison Bit One DSP + DRC($1,300) - Alpine Amplifier + Alpine Type R Subwoofer - Trunk looks completely factory to hide away audio system - Window tints - Grills and badging has also been blacked out This was honestly once my realistic dream car and along with the aftermarket parts added it pains me to sell this but it's part of growing up. Mileage is 106,000kms but drives beautifully with servicing up to date. Comes with all factory manuals along with two original keys. This is one of the best sounding cars to be ever made. I am asking $42,000 which will make it the best priced 2012 C63 in the country. Otherwise make me a realistic offer.

This is a rough car. I believe it was owned by a Uni student until it got repossessed. Personally I would not even go near it.

bump

Wheel bearing is a lot more like a hum. There also would be no reason the noise would stop if I just tapped the brake.

I have a E90 325i. A few minutes after driving it will develop a squeaking/chirping noise from the front wheel and will contiune. This sound is magnified if I slightly turn my steering wheel left. However when I apply the brakes, it will stop immediately but then restart after a few minutes again. Brake pads and rotors seem fine. Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

Wanting to buy genuine Syle 193 wheels. After a full set. Preferably in Christchurch. Can be with or without tyres.

Hi all, I just need some help identifying what kind of truck or ute this is on raised wheels. The driver followed my friend home and assaulted him ending with some cuts and minor concussion and fled the scene when his brother arrived to help. Im just wondering what make/model this truck is or if anyone knows someone with a similar car as they are collecting as much imformation as possible to pass onto police. Plate is TN or TJ something. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Agreed. Pretty, but not near 10k pretty.

Haven't been on for ages and come on to see this awesome car. Good work Julian!

The amazing thing is that considering a used low km Aventador costs over $1million there. Thats a bit of a broad generalisation isn't it? Not all chinese students here are using black money. Car prices in New Zealand is cheap compared to any asian country excluding Japan so for them to buy a Lamborghini/Ferrari here is like buying a Porsche in their home country. Same again in buying a Porsche or Maserati here is like buying a BMW or Mercedes there.

What was the point of this topic really...

Maybe I instantly noticed it as this exact car was on TradeMe a few years back trying to sell between 40 - 50k. Looking at the rear it is a dead giveaway though. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/996-forum/734787-996-997-front-end-conversion-process-and-pictures.html this is a very good link that shows the whole process of someone doing a full 996 - 997 external update to a very high standard. Seems like there is still some work that needs to go in.

http://www.turners.co.nz/Cars/Search/Porsche/996/12586848/ This is that 996 Cab with a coverted 997 front end. With a reserve at 21k I think its a steal for what it is but it is kind of an abomination if I really think about it. Would have been much nicer if it stayed as a 996.

Very nice Jooles! Time to change your sig ay?

+ 10000 When I was parking in Uni carpark and was sitting inside my car a girl getting into her car (a pre 1990 Mitsubishi hatchback) next to me just opened the door and slammed her door onto the side of my car when she was throwing her bag in. I was nearly raging when she slammed her door onto my car AGAIN when she was getting into her car. The thing is she didn't even bother to look over and acted like nothing had happened and drove off.
