gofaster 101 Report post Posted March 22, 2021 Be interested hearing from the 130i owners here if I have this priced right as there are only 2 manual 130i's for sale on TradeMe to go by. Other relevant comments also welcome. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted March 23, 2021 looks fairly priced given amount of maintenance work done. I think its a matter of finding a buyer who doesnt mind (or prefers) the beige interior. Probably best to put it on trademe to get more exposure. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ_InFerno 371 Report post Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Interested in the M3 lcas, tension arms and adjustment rod. Pretty reasonable price considering the work done, condition and kms. Le Mans Blue is the best colour imo Edited March 23, 2021 by NZ_InFerno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, thinking I will get new headlining installed and a groom and hold out for that price. Thanks, ,John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will keep you in mind if the LCA kit does not get sold with the car Mr Inferno. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other relevant comments also welcome. I sold mine a few weeks back for $11K. Very similar to yours in terms of servicing, also mine was lemans, manual, etc but with 18" wheels and 128km. I'd say you're pretty much on the money as far as value goes but they're a bit of a niche car so you will need to be paitent. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gofaster 101 Report post Posted April 1, 2021 Thanks for feedback Blackie. Yep, figure it will be a slow sale as most folks dont understand how good a manual 130i is compared to a run of the mill 1 series hatch. Have time on my side as I don't need a rushed sale.

gofaster 101 Report post Posted April 27, 2021 Well, it has been a month, some interest shown but no sale yet. Am willing to negotiating on price with any interested Bimmersport members, possibly reduce price on TradeMe in a week or two. PM me if you want to discuss price. Headlining now done, lifts the interior nicely. Cheers, John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted April 27, 2021 The car market seems to be utter rubbish at the moment, and has been for months now. It seems the only real way to sell anything is to auction it, which is risky! It looks like a nice car, but from what people looking at my 650i with a similar interior have told me, light coloured interiors with light wood are a hard sell, even if I like them myself.

gofaster 101 Report post Posted May 1, 2021 Yes agree Kelvin, not sure folk understand how good a package the 130i is. More power and acceleration than say a modern Golf GTi etc and still has 5 doors and good storage. Starting to think I might get the sump gasket done for peace of mind also. Not sure what else to do other than wait for the right buyer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait for the right buyer at your price or reduce the price and create more “right” buyers 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
