Late G reg M3

[janc]

Been offered a clean late G reg 215 BHP M3, for 7500. Think this is a little over priced should be more around the 6,5-7 mark. Body clean, drives true.
What do you all think?

"Body clean, drives true" just ain't enough to tell what it's worth...
If that means that it's driving fine but no history / high miles / minor things wrong with the paintwork etc, then yes it's overpriced. If it means that the paintwork(& interior etc)'s perfect, FBMWSH, 50k miles etc, then it's a bargain!

It's nigh on impossible to value a car without seeing it... just go have a look & make a silly offer if you want it - you can always come back with more!

As above really mate, condition is everything with these cars. Milage means nothing, one of the absolute best M3's i know has over 200,000 miles on it but everythings been changed, he sold the car for 9k.

215bhp M3 thats rust free and good condition is a bargain @7.5k

I think its sounds about right for an average G'reg M3, but again, as above really. Need more details.

Got to go with everyone else!!!

If its a good one then 7.5 is a good deal! It could look clean and go pretty well but unless you know what you are looking for interms of issue areas on both engine and body work then a clean one can end up being a dog with polish on it.

When I bought mine it was a very good one and I paid more than that for it. Mine had 95k km on the clock and drove mint. It hasnt stopped me raplacing the scuttle and rear panel due to rust.

I think 7.5k is a genuine bargain(for a 215bhp version)but ONLY if it is clean and not hiding any issues (like so many are) and the history is intact etc etc.
