sascha 17 Report post Posted October 30, 2011 Bloody cheap, Kms aren't a worry. Even with no service history?.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted October 30, 2011 Even with no service history?..Most people go on about service history, yes it's good but not super essential, easy enough to check the car out, no wierd noises, goes well etc. Few things you can check under the bonnet, oil sludging under the filler cap means lack of servicing, coolant in the reservoir is green, most people don't realise if the coolant is on the weak side (basically water) the internal water jackets can corode.

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted October 30, 2011 For that kinda money it's worth the gamble. As long as the body is straight, everything else can be fixed. Ideal price to do a semi rebuilt and replace key parts etc, 10k for the car, 5k on repairs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BM WORLD 1261 Report post Posted November 16, 2011 Seems a bit dodgey that the one and only bid was only one dollar less than the reserve...quite common , they just lower the reserve so the next bids owns it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 quite common , they just lower the reserve so the next bids owns it Quite common alright, a mate of his probably bidded that amount to create extra interest. Ofcourse it could be legit but I've seem some shenanigans on Tard Me over the years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5amchris 45 Report post Posted November 17, 2011 Just to end this, the dude that was bidding is this dude http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=38125 and i also tried to call the bidder thinking he was a mate and he wouldn't pick up =/ O well the world is still spinning just feel sorry for the person that buys it thinking its fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2312 Report post Posted November 20, 2011 Yeah would have a been a great buy at 10k if it was straight. I guess theres no such thing as a cheap M powered car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
