So.... account disabled and listing pulled by Trade Me ----> what happened?

And is it a 2.5 or a 2.7. I could swear the TM ad said 2.7.

And I am pretty sure I remember that car being for sale when you bought it ... and it had those wheels ... a year ago. So are they really "new"?

2.5L and those trade me assholes kept disabling my membership purely because I was paying my fees from my mother's visa card and they said I had multiple memberships running and that it was a breach! FFS, WHATEVER!

The wheels and tyres are still as new.....

I'm sure it can be removed, free up a weekend and bring some tools and a bank cheque

And sorry, the stock wheels did not come with the car

Yes, kit fitted by Mr. Jensen in Nov 1987

Well the wheels are like shoes aren't they, just buy another couple of pair

[Apex 693]

So its an “M3 EVO†kit that was fitted in 87? Is EVO the brand or did they make an imitation kit of a car that wasn’t out yet?

I know and thanks for that anyway Jedd

I don't think over $10K is silly money at all do you people?

Thanks for asking.

I think around $10k might sell to someone who likes the kit. As this car sat on TM for sale for about 2-3 months at approx $12k before you bought it, and prices have fallen across the board for cars thanks to crap petrol prices, and those wheels are horrible on that car ... $10k is probably more than fair.

I mean you might find someone who loves the car and will pay more, but since Trademe has banned you I guess advertising will be hard.

I for one am not jealous of the car. It'd make a good base for a race car, but it wouldn't be economic to do so.

(edit) I should add it would depend on the condition of the car (looks good in the photos), and whether it is actually as advertised - given the TM banning and that you had bid and reneged to two cars under your ultra72 user name, and that you must be all of 17 I would find it hard to trust you personally.

Cheers mate, it's a great car and it will be sad to see it go, but oversees opportunities are calling and would be a waste to park this beauty up in a dark cold storage unit. I have a lot more respect for this car than that!

Thanks Moktar, my E30 is real nice, don't want to sell but want to go overseas soonish so I'm not looking at trading another vehicle. Sell your 328 then make an offer over $10K mate

Right,

I've cleaned up the thread as best I can trying to be unbiased and removing comments both good and bad at this stage.

REMINDER: for Sale threads are not for discussions about your own personal opinions about the car. Keep discussion to questions regarding the sale, price, details etc, but keep your opinions to yourself.

If you want to waste time talking trash about cars on trademe, then visit the trademe discussion forum that was created for that type of thing.

Bagging members rides (even new members) is not tolerated.

Helpful/constructive criticisms are fine. We're not trying to be over-PC here and say you can't tell someone you don't like something about their ride - just keep the entirely negative comments to yourself.

Here is the original discussion thread about this car when it was on trademe. If that gets out of hand I will close it.

PORTNOY may be a new member with a controversial car for sale, but he seems like a pretty laid back sort of chap so give him a break.

PS PM me if you want to discuss. Do not post in the thread.

Hey Ultra72 what has been done on it in current years?

I see you are asking a few questions in regards to the E30 and are keen to spend some money so here is some constructive input.

I think with 5 stud conversion or some spacers (H&R do them) to correct the offset and the right wheels and the correct stance this car would be more appealing, something just looks funny on it, like it’s disproportioned.

You could blacken out the inner guards where the flare kit joins to the body as the gap is huge and black the front/rear window chrome while you’re at it. You should also see if you can get the rear bumper to sit up a bit more and swap the rice mirrors for stock/period items.

I think it defiantly has potential and would be cool with a grunty engine fitted to match the looks.

Don't mean to be a sh*t stirrer but bidding on your own auction, not cool.
