Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?

I know what i've seen, and it's not all rosy. Buyer beware and all that. -

Im very suspicious of that trader tbh, have seen a fair bit of discussion online about other cars he has been selling and hasnt been completely upfront with the history and condition. Wouldnt be surprised if there was shill bidding too. A trader with no feedback for buying or selling, and been on TM since 2019.... hmmm. -
Same can be said for selling cars in NZ too. People, what a bunch of bastards.
-
i remember that for sale a while back, it had some weird maf-less piggyback tune or something. Will be a good car with some love. E: the Carjam photos show it a bit more realistically.

Ugh, people that "just put a battery on it and tried to start it". its been in storage 20 years, dont try and start it without first at least giving it a service. E: and then the one that comes in and asks for the status of the cambelt and waterpump. Well, i'd bet the answer is... Old.

Really digging the wood trim in that

Im a big fan of using Brent at Classic Towing. He has moved a few cars for me, and although not the cheapest, he's a proper GC and nothing is ever an issue. https://classictowing.co.nz/

The biggest cost is the ferry. You could do an instant quote on PTSL site and see what they would charge.

Uh, it is? schiefer-grün metallic... Slate Green i think that means

Miss that car, man it made some great noises. Looked better on the original wheels though imo.
-
Yeah, bugger selling that for an E30, what a huge backwards step 🤣

I'd probably stop walking into them if mine were that wide.

Too soon? 😂

The lug bolts dont tighten into the rotor, they tighten into the hub behind the rotor. Something will be catching somewhere. Check strut clearance, but it does just sound like pads rubbing on the rotor which is normal.

I believe it was @M3AN that did some research into the suspension on the E87 and noted that they had very little travel before they were running on the bump stop, leading to a crashy ride.

Spotted a black E46 coupe the other morning on my commute. MASSIVE T wing on the boot, but worse than that, a MASSIVE light bar bolted to the bonnet. It was the full width of the bonnet 😟 What a stupid trend.

Typical, what a dick.

If the liquid isnt oily, is clear and odourless... do you have the AC on? Could be normal condensation draining from the AC system, tends to come out sort of behind where the engine is, where the footwells are.

Of the wrong size and style...?
-
If you get a reply. God that annoys me.

Thats stunning, and well worth the asking price. Wouldnt even know it was over 300,000km by the photos.

Next Batch of Government 7s up for Tender

We had the new Genesis G70 come through when I worked at a Hyundai dealership. Really nice car, built on the Kia Stinger platform so gets the twin turbo V6. Our first one came in, and had different coloured wheels on each side (black on one side, grey on the other. Not intentional). That was a bastard to sort out. -
Cant even advertise it right, its not a bloody V8 at all. The W8s are cool cars, but have some really gross common failures that are a sh*t to fix due to the packaging. Even doing things like changing the air filter is a nightmare due to the cramped engine bay.
-
Could always offload the heavy lifting to something like Imgur, but at the end of the day after resizing, the images are very small so shouldn't be too much of an issue.
-
That will be a great project for someone, but I get it gets a quick and nasty repair and resold for a lot more.
