I think the S6 was more common in manual compared to 4, but neither were common in manual compared to auto(in nz that is- grr). I have my eyes on an unloved S6 in parnell that lives out on the road.... Probably a basket case mind

The note was amazing- it used to make every bit of loose corrugated iron or tin within 5m reverberate

Looks to be lowered as well- mine was jacked compared to that

I had one of these as my last car- amazingly strong, upgradable engine, worth more than the car is actually. only 2 issues mine presented were worn front strut mounts (these are a heavy car) and dodgy auto- check system telling me that brake pads and rear brake lights were always out. REmoved beeper and bulb for this which took care of that! (system is seperate from engine check warnings) And replaced strut mounts. Odd that this one doesnt have an airbag, but at least its one less light to come on! I love these cars. Put the engine into an 80 quattro sedan edit: I pranged mine, panels drivetrain and lights are next to impossible to find as they are not shared with 100/A6

Ask them to send you some? They are worthless in a monetary sense... tend to have silly modern slogans on them now too

Oooo 60ish? it is a 2005 import, all colour coded dark metallic grey (charcoal?) with black leather sport seats heated and drivers elec

Coincidentally I also have a gunmetal grey mk5 gti DSG with black leather for sale as well, both cars are otherwise going to be traded, they have offered $16 for the 1 and $17 for the Gti as trades.... :(

I have a silver 120i SE with 69km's for sale if you would be interested, at a price much lower than that....

Yeah hence me comparing to maser and porsche costs.... V10 toaregs are very thirsty yes

I wouldnt really choose any of the above, but how about a v10 Touareg (being as you seem happy enough for the costs of a maser/ porsche v8) and have TQ+ power with the handling of a cayenne

Isn't it hilarious/ sad that so many people can only associate class and style to brands which somebody else thought up. Common. Would be awesome if just a manual v8 merc!

Wow that's an awesome colour man! looking very good.

Hmm tough situation man and I feel for ya, however I think when it comes to the crux, 'nana' or 'mother of 2' wouldn't have lost traction- so you may not have a very strong leg to stand on. Nonetheless I would be very mad if this happened to me- i'm a stubborn c*nt

Of the colours, i love the darker green. Otherwise I really like the whitewalls- they sorta allude to turbine 1's on a racing e30 m3

You would be surprised man! I have a mate who regularly leaves his convertible 360 parked on te road 100m from his house overnight, and also a mate who keeps his gallardo is a fully open- sided carport

The rubbish site wont fully load for me, does it have a ferrari engine like the old one?

May I suggest that $25,000 for a non- M3 e30 does not have much at all to do with the fact that it is an E30, more the condition that the old car is in, and the rarity of the CONDITION not the car. These are not really part of the market. A thin argument I know, but valid I think. edit: I agree CamB, cars need to steadily trade at a price for that to be their VALUE, as opposed to $17k+ which is more likely severance.

Remember that for something be a rip off, someone needs to have been ripped off...... That car hasnt sold yet

With that reasoning I actually cannot argue... maybe, its cult or classic status? Maybe the old- fashioned looks as opposed to an e36 which isnt old-cool but isnt modern? Cannot explain the reason so far as availablity goes though. Perhaps it is hard to get a genuinely good e30, and the rest are utter trash. E36's wont have as much rust etc in them

Those are very low km's for a car which I can only deduce is out of free servicing, what was the deal there? I would also so assume that if you can afford a 135i, your immediate choice would be the dealer no questions

Cool man, na i'm not but i'll get the others to head along it sounds good

I have questioned this as well and have had different answers so as to leave me even more confused than before I asked... Another downer is depending on how many middlemen come before your retail, their prices will all be up as well, so the cost that you get a product in at will be higher than before.... Things will get more expensive for EVERYONE involved in retail, consumer back.

Vintrim? oh and congratulations Graeme you sly dog

+1 Old model, getting old either way, over 100,000km.... not looking good! That is from teh pessimistic, but realistic part of my brain... Actually my whole brain says no to a 120km car for $40K
