Creaver 55 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Very nice example and nicely priced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 I think this is your next car Yuen??? I wish! Who wouldn't want S38B36 power... but not at this point in time. Iinteresting to hear it's Jock's old car, really hope it goes to one of us then. Do it Martyn. I think the colour and the interior are all a great combo - white is the new black Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember this is Autohaus Rotorua. They'd probably try and put $35K on your touring!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 Remember this is Autohaus Rotorua. They'd probably try and put $35K on your touring!!! That brings up an interesting point - why is the reserve of this M5 so reasonable compared to their previous listings? Does it not belong to them and they're helping the owner out by listing it for him? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 24, 2008 dont know,but last time i asked they still had the e39 six speed from god knows when.....obviously although a rare car the premium they are asking is too much even for auto phobes like me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Withdrawn. Who bought it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Wasnt me He was quite prepared to remove it as long as he got something around his reserve. Just wish I had the cash sitting around to be able to do it. But with not knowing how long it might take to sell the touring (and the taxman wanting his pound of flesh soon) I just couldnt justify it.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Aww Are you still going to try and sell the Touring? Reserve = $12,900. Was a good deal if everything is in good cond. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Yep, the touring is going. Ill stick the money in the bank in the hope another M5 comes up. He said he traded the car at 15k (which was his reserve) but he would take anything around that. Cracking car for the price, whoever has it is a very lucky person.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Sounds like a plan Martyn, cross your fingers I thought the reserve was $15k as well, but at the end of the auction it says $12,900. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashmill 68 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 It is definately Jock's old car. He sold it to the proprieter of the Goodyear Tyre shop in Taupo. It is an excellent car in really good condition. I have driven this car and it goes like a rocket. I own the the sister car to it (in Macau Blue) with a similar mileage. If you can get it for under $20 grand then you will have an absolute bargin. Mine is for sale but the price is over $20k for it. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 I didnt see that Yuen. He just told me anything around 15 would be enough. It was a hard decision to make but in the end I need to sell the touring first Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
