  1. Have come to an agreed price with the car, more than some would pay but as it had every aspect i was looking for in a 330 motorsport I was willing to go a little higher than others might. On a side note, I'm now selling my 2001 320i http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...546&ed=true
  2. Cheers for the responses, Ill leave it at 15,000 and if he's not interested ill let this one go
  3. Hi, sorry not sure if this is the right forum but I need some advice on a vehicle I am looking at upgrading from my 2001 BMW. Found myself a generally tidy 2003 330i motorsport sedan in white, Had an agreed price of $17,000 before I had a pre-purchase inspection done at jeff grays. Ill list most of what it has apart from the general things. 126000kms Tan leather interior ABS Brakes Blistien shocks Genuine 18" BBS Ch forged alloy rims Slotted/drilled brake upgrade Chromed brake calipers - ground and painted Custom made strut brace AC Schnitzer cat back exhaust system - custom quad tail pipes AC schnitzer pedals and gear shifts (replicas) Zeon Headlights Multi Function steering wheel New speakers Rear Sub woofer Reversing mirror Warrant and rego expire in Dec 2013 Now after having it checked out by jeff gray it has come back with a few problems, I reduced my offer to 15k but they guy reckons he could get more for it, should I stick with 15k or is it still a good buy for 17k even with the problems listed below. Power steering pipe from reservoir to pump leaking Oil filter housing gasket leaking Main drive belt cracking Rear differential mount cracking Rear Left tyre worn Thermostat plug leaking Vanos hose washers leaking Reaction bushes excessive movement There is still a couple minor things like broken clips and wipers etc but not biggys, to get it warrantable dealer has quoted $1100 to fix bushes, alternator drive belt and power steering. Not to mention I will still need a new tyre and the Rear differential mount fixed. It overall is a very tidy car, so whats it worth... is it worth 17k as it is? Im thinking not with the k's or am I missing a bargain? Are the dealers finding excessive problems, the owner reackons they seem to find problems where there aren't any but id rather trust them than him to be honest. Any expert advice please, ive left it for now but wouldn't want to miss out as its rare to find one like it. Edit: Should also add the guy has had it around 2 years but only done around 7000kms in it.
