Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 The fact that the seller is putting a $1200 premium on it for some aftermarket mags doesn't bode well. No picture of the cert plate (I'd want proof before going to look), and be aware that the cert plate is only current if the car has the same wheels on it as when it was inspected. So if it currently has 16x7s and the cert says 17x8 you shouldn't be able to get a warrant and will be stickered by the cops if they pull you over. It looks to me like the car has been converted from auto to manual so I'd also want to know what ratio diff is in it, and more importantly is it mentioned on the cert - if no, fail! Get some useful information from the seller and it might be ok. Or just buy Brents - more torque from the 2.8 and better goodies on it too. just my 2c 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1160 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Good point about the cert. I've emailed the seller to ask him to put up a pic of the cert plate (if it has one). But yea - look at Brents car. Pros; Bigger engine Lower kms 3 years newer Owned by an enthusiast Probably doesn't have shitty 'sunny' brand tyres like the other one. Cons; Interior not as nice Both are better than a mazda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Kms are about the same. The trademe ad is for the wagon he had - the coupe is north of 200,000 iirc. Way better looker and performer than the M50 up north, better quality suspension, has been owned by a guy that knows his sh*t as opposed to a sideways cap wearing muppet etc etc. If it still had the supercharger I'd be flogging my sedan off to buy his coupe. Alas, the blower has moved on to better things! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1160 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 So the info on Brents trademe ad is for a different car? I'm confused? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 So the info on Brents trademe ad is for a different car? I'm confused? On Road Costs: Included Kilometres: 157,000km Body: Green, 5 door, Station Wagon Fuel type: Petrol Engine: 6 cylinder, 2793cc Transmission: Automatic Import history: NZ New Looks like he's just changed some of the details from the listing he used to have of an E36 wagon Beats paying for another listing fee 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2373 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 The E36 in the OP. Non-Msport, stupid wheels, stupid suspension, horrible stretched tyres. Its a fail in my books, even with the stupidly over inflated price. Buy Brents. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
