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

do ittt

Bad luck man that sucks! I'd be spewing. If their public liability doesn't want the hassle, you may get paid out quickly and easily. However In most tort situations such as this, you would had to have used more caution and common sense and checked... Then called the council and arranged alternative parking. A hassle yes, but common sense does say that you saw the roadworks and hence potentially altered road conditions. "It was not imperative that your carpark be used". A right, yes- but imperative no.

Same here although my urS4 was an auto... Whenever a part failed it usually had to come from Singapore- the sensors etc seemed to be VW/AUDI not Bosch so couldnt be gotten by other means. Electrical faults for Africa and as above it was a FSH Giltrap car.... used more fuel than the Queen Mary as well. In stock form she handled like a dog, maybe lowering etc may have fixed that.. but the entiure engine was in front of the front axle (!) edit: And yes, I would honestly say very expensive compared with bmw etc.... I remember being quoted just over $1400 for a single high pressure brake system hose, had hydraulink rebuild mine for 130.

welcome to wheel cleaning hell.... order some pacer mag acid, or get the 'repco' brand spray on wheel cleaner, they are the only (aside from mothers which is same as repco) cleaners with oxalic acid in them

I'm not sure if your 3L v6 was the same basic engine as my 350Z's RENAULT engine, but i recently drove it from Christchurch to kerikeri and got nowhere near that sort of economy- and I am a nana driver..... I think it's quoted average is about 12L/100km

What actual model s it? e30 is just a shape....

Awesome thanks Jono- you have given me a nice ego boost

Sold Sold

wants: -magic wand waved over the not- quite- perfect tappet/ or chain noise -rear tophats -magic wand waved over marginal cold starting -as of tonight, indicator bulb replaced

Same, almost exlusively 1 or 2 owner NZ new bmw, audi or mercedes cars... My last car was a 1 owner Audi S6- pulled the standard stereo out and the wiring behind it was such a botch up amatuer job, as was the alarm install behind a kick- panel (car had factory alarm stickers on windows). Strange and semi- redundant trailer wiring leading to the factory audi towbar was another wee gem i discovered. Current 2 owner E30 with 120km's when i got it had wee surface rust spots all under the boot carpet due to a leak from badly re-installed tail ligt seals, completely rusted re-weld of the battery tray which i had fully remade, botched up stereo wiring and seriously butchered airflow meter. Why god why!

Happy birthday And see it would have been hell driving up today!

Is that the pish one? sounds sooo good eh

Happy birthady bro- damn you have 30km less than me, i may as well throw my engine out its so old!

im a bit late seeing this auction- but good luck man, that is a very tastefully done vehicle.

I'm going to get the fuel pressure regulator tested some time when I get around to it.... Have been thinking that te pressure may be dropping too far down at rest

nice buy mate! re- black the b- pillar area.... and leave the orange bits orange- its an old car! but thats just me and im a nana:P
