When did I say spend £28k...?

Good luck finding your "average mileage" M3 with FSH and the spec you want for £8k! Oh yeh I forgot a few stone hips here and there knock thousands of the value :rolleyes:

You said to not have a budget and then spank as much as required for the best example... im being facetious but I am not spending 10k on the car.

Its just a matter of time before I find the one I want for around 8K... They ARE around but they sell quickly.

Just seems odd to compromise when it's your "dream car". When I was looking for my ST is was happy to spend £2-3k more just to get the facelift model, as I preferred it to the pre-facelift. So my budget went from £10k to £13k.

Don't stretch my budget, stretch my budget, I don't know whether I'm coming or going with you guys :D

My budget is set, I'm happy with the type of cars that are available for this budget, however finding one isn't going to be a case of picking from 15+ cars on the net that fit my criteria.

I'm looking for that 1 special car, there was one, the estoril one in Buckinghamshire im 90% sure I would have bought.

I think I've pretty much gotta play the waiting game now :(

That one is very nice, however - how could I go about getting it for £9k?

Speaking to him over the phone is a good starting point. Looks like he has already been trying to sell it for a month and dropped it to 10k easy enough.

Edit: Looks like it started 10k and is ovno.

Ok, well I will think about that one, however its silver and over budget, if it was estoril or grey I might be more tempted...

Im concentrating on the one which has had a new engine at the moment, It looks pretty good but its a pre-facelift (just) so Id want to put the new rear lights on it and change the wheels for 19s as the standard 18s are fitted which Im not a fan of.

Wonder how much that would cost if selling the standard wheels (refurbed) and the lights...
 
That advert is fairly terrible, wouldn't bother me with a cheap car but if you can't even be bothered to make a bit of effort to sell your m3 then why expect people to come see it?

First one is good, but I'm sure you wanted black interior?

Second one is a terrible advert, doesn't even know what tyres he has!!

Yeah I do, but its one of the few estorils ive seen without estoril seats which are gash, I think it suits the grey seats so is in with a shot.

Michies on the rear though where it's most important... they might be new and thinking about it, if I was about to sell a car tomorrow and needed front tyres as others were shot I can see someone being cheap there just to not waste money... and that's kinda understandable?

It has pretty much the cheapest tyres imaginable on the fronts.

/edit: gah, left the window open in FF for ages, replied and missed that everyone else has already done the OcUK thing and pointed out the gash tyres.
