e36 m3

[VTR]

"m3 e36 6speed manual evolution done 100k, deep purple. full service history and full black leather really clean and drives 100 percent. private plate that says m3 new clutch tax till april next year and mot till aug next year. m3 wheels been lowered a bit. electric roof everything works spot on"

Bit vague I know but considering taking this in part ex? It would owe me £3500, is that around what it's worth? Obviously a lot of factors but just after a rough guide as I have no idea about this market.

It's an Evo yeah, by electric roof I assumed he just meant sunroof, I'm waiting on pics and further details this afternoon.

The car would only to be to sell on and would need to get £3500 for it.

It's a 1997, no further details until later on this afternoon.

Yeah I've had a quick look on pistonheads, all going to be down to the condition of it really. It's got FSH but not sure what has been done regards to suspension etc.

Part exing against an Evo 5.

I'll see what the pictures are like and further details this afternoon, cheers all.

Didn't you learn anything from your last pretending to be a car dealer thread? buy it if you want it but for resale purposes its a terrible buy as they take ages to shift, have a small target market and leave you liable should anything go wrong.

haha I done pretty well out of the 182 it sold within a few days on PH

Fox is spot on VTR, if its so good, why hasn't he sold it himself, and, more to the point, why is he changing it?

The chances of it being perfect & straight and an easy sell on are slim imo, an M3 is a whole different league to a 182, not to mention, with all due respect, imo you did well out of that more through luck than judgment.

He's a trader, has offered me a few different cars over the last few weeks for the Evo, he said he will be listing it at £4495.

I'll see what the pics are like and get some further details.

Assuming it's in reasonable condition should it be easy to sell at £3.5k? Know nothing about these and the market.

The Evo is a private sale and registered to me btw and so will the m3 if I take it. I bought the Evo as I had a good deal on it and was going to keep it for some fun but circumstances have changed again and need to release the money for the Porsche project that I've just started.

Yes I know I change cars and circumstances regularly

 

[VTR]

He has just had it the last few weeks, don't think I will be doing the deal anyway as it's not worth the hassle, if the m3 was worth more then it may have been worth doing.

Thanks all for the advice, just don't know the market, if it was a case of it's worth £4000 min then it would have been worth taking it in part ex. He's only offering £1k with it.
