Bmw M3 - £3400! Mot Failure - New Maf Req. - Drifting forum

TaxiDori · 08-10-2008, 14:28

Right I've had enough of this car and don't really have the time to bugger about fixing it etc so if anyone wants to take it as is get the part do the spanner works and make some quick cash then go for it.

1995 Cosmos Black M3 - 130k miles - FSH, just serviced.
Uprated cat and exhaust and brand new 25mm lower shocks alround, otherwise standard.
Lovely condition for age.
No tax or MOT.
Failed on emissions, so I put it on dianostics and it came back it needs a new MAF. I've just spent £200 changing the Lambdas as well which helped but didn't quite fix it. I've had enough and have a new car already so just want this gone. If I spent the cash and fixed it myself i'd value it at £4250 and would be putting it up for that but i've lost enthusiasm so anyone interested on here?

Easy part to get, easy part to fit then jsut needs MOT and tax or just fix and use it as a track only toy.

I bought this for £4250 I have spent around £1200 on it in 3 months so my loss is your gain.

£3400

07816 390 568 - call for more info or PM for pics.

To add;

I'm happy to listen to sensible offers but not ridiculous offers i.t.r.o £2000.
I'm swaying towards fixing it and selling it at market price now anyway so be quick if you're interested.

AL@Streetsleepers · 08-10-2008, 19:22

Pics?

d-anie-l · 08-10-2008, 22:10

Does it come with the original wheels?

TaxiDori · 08-10-2008, 23:05

Yes and yes.

scottycsx · 08-10-2008, 23:21

i want this car!

you fancy a rx7 swap?

rx7 fd3s

TwinturboCH · 09-10-2008, 01:05

Fancy a swap for a 4-door R32 GTS-T?
Hudson's R32 GTS-T 4-door

TaxiDori · 09-10-2008, 09:15

Crikey lots of offers on swaps!

To be really honest guys i'd love to swap for something and have a toy but I'm really looking for a straight cash sale as I have bought another car so this is now just surplus to my requirements.

Unless I get a really good deal which will benefit me from selling it on i'd rather jsut sell this car instead of part exing car to sell on.

All PM's answered now.

thanks,

nic.

Unfortunatly mate, there is not such thing as "market rate" at the moment. If you can sell it for even half decent money, get rid of it and pull your cash out and put it in a shoe box under your bed for a rainy day

TaxiDori · 09-10-2008, 14:02

There is, all though I agree it's a bit hard to fathom right now. None the less, cars are still selling, espcially the second hand car market (as it's new sales which have been affected the most), therefore a market for a such as an E36 M3 which offers a lot for the money at the best of times is potentially a good choice for someone freeing up some cash by downgrading to something cheaper in value whilst still having fun for the time being.

Mike@TDSW · 10-10-2008, 11:59

Problem is that there are taxed and mot'd m3s for sale for 3k and less now. The market is fricked for cheap performance cars atm as the sort of people that buy them traditionally are concentrating on mortgage increases and the like, not expensive to run toys.
Ill still do you a deal with a t+t'd 328 sport

TaxiDori · 10-10-2008, 12:54

Yup and I saw some T+T M3's around the £3k mark when I bought this one and there's a very good reason they're that price. They're total dogs that have been ragged senseless.
