Sammo 2550 Report post Posted January 24, 2020 Mods, please move if already posted, I couldn't find a thread on this car that's been on TM for a long time and just dropped to $15k https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/m3/listing/2477132648 Anyone seen this? Seems very cheap although high kms and probably needs some love? Get rid of the tint, repaint the wheels and tidy the interior, could be a nice car. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah, I agree... $15k is a sharp price if it drives well. Spend another $5k on it and it could be mint. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palazzo 479 Report post Posted January 24, 2020 Probably better on Monroes than the 190k + shocks it was on. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz 1062 Report post Posted January 29, 2020 Would recommend anyone looking at buying this car to get a PPI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This whole "I got a ppi on it, be aware, but I won't tell you what it said" thing is getting old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was brought to us for a PPI so legally I can't share what we found unless the guy who had the PPI wishes to share it himself 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2429 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Im not asking for the full report, but whats a friendly "all the bushes are stuffed and its leaking from everywhere" among forum users? If you arent going to buy it, why not share a quick little heads up instead of just saying "the report showed some things of concern" to let others know what to look for? I do also understand the situation here where it wasnt Gaz that got the report but their dealership that carried it out, so kinda different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well my point was, specifically, that the PPI scenario has nothing to do with privacy... whether wre like it or not. ? Privacy only relates to people, not things.

"Privacy" relates specifically to people and personal information. Sorry guys but the distinction is really quite important. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treone 649 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 Good point @M3AN. Privacy and confidentiality often do get confused and used interchangeably. Although I'm not completely sold on the 'confidentiality' aspect in this context. I like this summation of the two: We often use the terms "confidentiality" and"privacy" interchangeably in our everyday lives. ... On the other hand, privacy refers to the freedom from intrusion into one's personal matters, and personal information. While confidentiality is an ethical duty,privacy is a right rooted in common law. Trying to relate it back to the OP - if someone was seriously interested in this M3 then I would hope that they conduct due diligence that satisfies them. This may, or may not include comments and information made here. And lets all be honest here, most of us are not serious buyers, but would like to know all the 'dirty detail' on it ?. IMO $15k + $7-8k to sort and you have a pretty reasonably priced appreciating classic - there you go I said it ? (yes I have an ulterior motive haha) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 479 Report post Posted January 30, 2020 $15k + 50% to make it work? That sounds like a pass. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
