bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) I'm in disbelief. How can they value this at $14990, when you could get a e30 M3, registered, in NZ for around $20,000? Is someone dreaming, or am I seriously undervaluing these? One didn't meet the reserve on TM a while ago for around $7K. Trademe Link I must admit though, looks absolutely pristine for a 17 year old car. Thoughts? Opinions? Edited November 2, 2007 by Eddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 I'm going to do some tyre-kicking on this car this morning! I dealt with this dealer a while ago when I was looking for my car.... nice guy. I'll talk to him about the price, see what his rationale is for putting a 15 grand sticker price on it!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 OK... just been down to have a look at this car and WOW!!! I walked into the showroom and my jaw hit the ground! The previous owner obviously loved this car more than his own mother, it is absolutely immaculate! The only giveaway that this isn't a brand new 318is straight off the showroom floor is the odometer reading! The original "brilliantrot" paint hasn't a mark on it. The interior is spotless and I was tempted to eat my lunch right off the rocker cover... the engine bay was THAT clean! I asked about the fan deletion and the dealer said the previous owner did it purely for aesthetic reasons. There's a brand new fan from Chch BMW sitting in the boot along with a DVD player box full of receipts, forum printouts for DIY jobs, magazine articles on the model, service records and more. Worst bit? The owner traded it in on a 911!!! I know these cars normally go for around 7-10k but even if you bought this car for 12k it'd be a steal! It is absolutely MINT! I'm off to detail my car now, I feel inadequate after seeing the effort put into that little iS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjs 64 Report post Posted November 4, 2007 How much are the original stereos? Surely you should be able to pick one up somewhere relatively cheaply. I had one from an NZ e34 520i SE I owned a few years ago. At the time I replaced it with a CD player and put the Sony stereo on TradeMe for $20, had no interest, so binned it!
