I think the cost of servicing newer model cars has become outrageous, the R32 has to have the gearbox fluid etc changed every 4 years at a reputed cost of $800-1000, VW fluid only. I enquired about cam belt changes on an Alfa V6, every 5 years it must be done at a cost of $3-3.5k, with these sorts of prices, the cars become worth nothing second hand. And to the OP, I think the situation is totally outrageous and you should complain (politely) until you get satisfaction, it sounds like the biggest load of nonsense I've ever heard. "We'll fix your car under our warranty, but we may ruin it, which will be your problem" Pardon?

Thanks to both, Brent, that's the piece I thought looked like the right bit, will try and find the drill.

Where is the bolt hole in the parcel shelf for an E36, the one that secures the tether strap for a child seat? There looks to be a pull out of some sort on the underside of the parcel shelf, directly in line with the middle of the rear head rest, which would logically be it, is it?

Damn that Integra is fast, sh*t to a blanket anyone?

Car looks good and the no. plate is 1 number off our old car if I remember correctly, MM775?

Aren't those Hartge wheels? Swap them out, someone on here will want them.

My last attempt at loading photos failed dismally, I will try again though. Then again, if you've seen a E36 coupe in manual with blue paint and grey leather, you've seen it. Price? I took the advice here and paid what I was willing to pay.

Oh well, I've bought it.

I have an opportunity to pick up a '96 328i as above. 170kms or so. Leather, sun roof, completely stock. Had $3.5k spent on making the paint perfect about 2 yrs ago, near new Falkens, new clutch, shocks. Drives perfect, only "fault" is a squeaking clutch pedal, no saggy headlining. Leather on steering wheel/gear knob worn and carpet under clutch ripped. Ex UK (96-98), NZ since, one owner from new. Any ideas?

You're not going to get a 944 Turbo for under $5k. Certainly not one that will last more than 5 min. What's a Series 4 Rx7 go for these days? Ah, just checked, more than I thought. TC Baur 320i manual?

Good for anyone wanting a bit of room, manual too. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-334687963.htm

IF you paid $65k for that, I'd be surprised if there was any decent change from $100k. Turners sold a yellow 360 for $105k (ish) and they are $149k asking at a dealers. Why would you?

There was the purple SA import that sat on a yard for ages with around 220kms on the clock, the asking price was $11,995. Kiwi535 looked at one down south with around 190kms on the clock, but I think NZ new, that was about $13k from memory.

Yes, burgundy, was in Classic Car as the cover page 1 or 2 years ago. Tried photos, but it was in a dark corner.

A Lamborghini Espada in my car park at work today. So low and wide.

You're in Grey Lynn right? Looked great on the drive way, I went "Ooooh, look," to my partner, but she didn't bite. Brent on here will have a manual conversion.

'Vert or coupe? I have a friend who has one of each.

Can't, I was told and didn't believe anyone would make a car that couldn't carry an everyday item. James, you need to get out more.

I have a Golf DD, today I found out that golf clubs don't fit in the boot. Hopeless.

That car parks in that building, saw it the other night when I was leaving.

I'm pretty sure I have at least one remote if you want it. No idea on how to reprogram though.

I had a similar problem (in a different car), it was a solenoid in the gearbox.

IF the facts are as stated, surely passing yourself off as another person is fraud? If there's no response from Mitch and no defence, I think you can take it as read that Glenn's personal view and mine are well aligned.

Spend nothing as in cheap to maintain. But yes, being an E30, there will always be something. . . .
