might sell the m3 convertible...

Post Sat Jul 02, 2005 9:30 pm

thinking of selling the m3 as I need something a bit less 'cool' for work and something I care less about or that is easily replaceable, but has style still...

Its sad that im thinking of selling it but sometimes things are just required.

I cant park it on the road for fear of damage, theft, parking dinks etc

I think you'll regret it to be honest.

Isnt the Scooby silly $ to run? Mk4 Golf sounds good aslong as its a 1.8T, ive had access to an Audi A3 (practically the same machine) and it was a nice little car, was refined and gave a nice drive if a bit dull.

so karan you like you 200sx? a friend of a friend has a very highly tuned one and it is rapid. 330bhp with 300 ft torque

. we had a straight line race at a set of lights with my mate in his m3 evo and the 200sx just ate the m3 up. its real silly quick.

thing is he was running a standard gearbox, second one as it couldnt take abuse. real sleeper too.

When i was at the Nurburg Ring last week i got talking to Brian as well as going round the track several times in his car, Now i want one even more
i dont understand how you can think of selling it.

Post Sun Jul 03, 2005 12:18 pm

Rags, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you get good money for it and need to have something else then just go for it. At least you have owned one for a while and enjoyed it.

Post Sun Jul 03, 2005 9:25 pm

well, my car is in very good nick and its got low miles, one of the quietest engines, a working hood, good paintwork and bbs splits

whats it worth?
