Vass 981 Report post Posted March 10 I've no idea what these people are playing at with their deluded price expectations. Just because a car is "low mileage" doesn't negate the fact it's riddled with 20+ year old crusty rubber and plastic that'll need significant investment to overhaul. Let alone it's not even that well spec'd - cloth non-heated seats, no steering wheel controls, no auto lights-wipers, automatic, plus it has spent 20 years of its life in Japan so could be more susceptible to rust. Who in their right mind pays 3 x the market price for this? Still, probably better value than these two grandpa spec specimens: 2001 325i - 7,500km @ $19.5k & 1998 328i - 23,500km @ $13k Do these people know we're in a recession? 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vass 981 Report post Posted March 16 Free listing days always bring out a horde of dreamers on TM but this one takes the cake for me - 2000 330i - 88,000km @ $15.5k buy now "Super barn find"; "appreciating classic"; "ready for the value to continue to appreciate for the new next owner". Non-Msport, assumedly automatic, Japanese import, last WoF'd in 2015, no doubt flat spotted & dry rotted tyres plus whatever other myriad of issues that'll crop up from not having run in 10 years. If I were asking 3-4x the market value I'd have at least given it a wash. Comes with a flag holder though so that's worth a few grand. Bloody hell. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1726 Report post Posted March 16 "Sold on behalf of the original owner" sums it up. It's had one owner since imported (excl dealer) so the guy probably paid some dealer plenty for it back in the day. Maybe has no clue what they are actually worth now, or he just thinks he worth top dollar because "low k's'. They are open to offers so he will soon realize the reality its all the gets all the 5k offers, maybe he gets lucky and it sells for half his buy now.
