gofaster 101 Report post Posted January 4, 2022 Nice. Reminds me of my last N52. No mention of any maintenance (gaskets etc) something I would note if it were my advert. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted January 5, 2022 An offer of 7.5k.... Guess some of the cheaper high km manual cars lately may have tweaked some perspectives? I would assume as it has new shocks, quality tyres and looks tidy with service history that most of the will fail stuff should have been done? I think if so, he should mention it if he wants top dollar? I got $11k for my Jap one (130k km) I would expect this to be wanting similar'ish being NZ, better spec, etc??

NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted January 14, 2022 So was having a casual browse on trademe, only 13 130i for sale, much lower than usual 20-30 I've observed over the last couple years. 2 manuals, including the worldy listed above. Also had a look at 135i, they also exhibit similar pricing behaviour in regards to manuals and a significant price difference over an automatic. Cheapest auto is 14k, manual 22k. Similar spec, condition, maintenance and kms. Obviously not an indicator of sale price, though the manual has a deposit on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then at least you can shop around for a better spec/condition vehicle. They are just the modern Nissan Silvia right now. Mod and play with them while you can.

Herbmiester 938 Report post Posted January 16, 2022 For the price premium you pay for a 130i manual you are into 135i auto territory. The big torque curve of the 135i works a lot better with the auto than the the 130 in my humble opinion. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted January 17, 2022 For those of you who have installed tweeters, is it a door card off job? If there's a video of an install I'll take it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2158 Report post Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) You'll need to take the door card off to get to the connector... plastic pry tool to unpop the clips, thump with back of fist to install. Door handles etc pop off pretty simply from cables. Easy peasy. Edited January 17, 2022 by Jacko 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
