Hey Dorian,
This isn't really the "marketing a car I want to sell" thread. There is a used vehicles for sale subforum that you can post this in. Now if you're selling this thing for a great price, post up the price and let us weigh in on whether we think it's a good buy. Generally the community is pretty OK with posts from a source other than CL as long as it's a good buy.

Sorry man, had to fail this post.

Oh and this car has the N55 engine.

Sorry man, had to fail this post.

Lots of people post cool or rare cars that might not be "good " buys. I think this one is cool and rare.

I said dm for price so it wouldnt get discussed on this thread

i dont know if you looked at the engine bay on the pictures or you just failed the post because you wanted to. Its a N54

Thanks for the Fail

[snowfarmer]

you're right, it is the N54 and I'll edit my post on that but my opinion on the Fail stands.

Yes, people post cool or rare cars sometimes and that is OK when they don't have personal interest in selling it. When people are trying to sell their own car or market a car on this thread, that doesn't seem to be generally accepted unless it's a good buy. It's been my experience that most people selling their own cars or marketing cars on this thread, the cars are not a good deal. You can prove the exception to this point if you want to though! If it's priced well, post it up.

That many Km’s on that age BMW feels like it’s more of a detriment than a benefit lol

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-bmw-335is-14/ 9k mile 2011 vert sold for 28250 USD in July 2020

I guess a 2013 335is with 3500kms for low $30.000s CAD is a good deal

not like you post anything better. Half the cars you post are pos high mileage gti's or high mileage FSI audis that are about to break down.

I think we need a “Craigslist good buys under $10k” thread

I like how the current Craigslist good buys is right now.

I mean sure, sometimes the thread gets overwhelmed with either not so good buys, rare cars, or just simply a piece of crap.

But overall IMHO I'm informed on what various cars are for sale whether it's good, bad, or interesting to look at.

EDIT: Either I keep missing out on an Acura RSX deal, or waiting for another Bimmer to get totalled by BIG_BAWS

[bcuzracecarz]

I love the way this thread is right now, the people who frequent this thread know what it’s about, hate when people get all up in arms about the odd overpriced cool or rare car. Hell I bet a third of the people wouldn’t be on revscene anymore without this thread haha

Should really be called, “Craigslist Buys - Sometimes good, but always interesting”

Dont know about you guys, but nothing triggers me more than "call for price"

I thought the is had N55. But it does have M-DCT i believe?

You're being failed because you wrote DM for price. Just post the price.

This is coming from someone who doesn't love N54, but I also post a lot of BMWs. Most of the M cars here aren't good buys, but you can say that they're a good buy in the current environment.

A good buy 6 months ago, was 17K, 150K km, 02 6MT M3, with all big 3 done. But that simply doesn't exist anymore.

I dont own the 335is and you guys cant contact the owner since the car is not officially posted for sale, i was just doing a favor for a friend and i did mention later on that his price would be in the low 30s. Since he hasnt decided on a set price i did not want to post one. I guess i thought there was a 0.1 % chance someone wanted it before it got posted online and maybe he would get a better deal this way.

Yes, dealership car. 3 accidents + a glass claim in the records. First model year. It's got some decent kms on the odo. Literally that red flag interior. I know, I know...

But if you can look past all that, me thinks this is really a fantastic deal. The accidents are $1500, $200, and $1300. On a Porsche. The glass claim was $80. Who knows what those "collision" accidents were, but really, who cares? Got a scratch, have it repainted, and it pretty much costs more than that.

It's got PASM and torque vectoring. 2 sets of wheels (20" Carrera S and 18" Boxster for winters), it looks like. Those 18" wheels + winter tires is a $3k+ option before tax, and I actually like them better than the 20" rollers. 18 way Sport+ powered seats. This is like a $4k+ option, and buyers usually cheap out with just the $2k 14-way powered seats. Sport Chrono. BOSE. (OK, Bose is crap, but still, it's there.)

Damn...

Normally, the accident-free copies of similar cars ask for something in the low $80k's. Usually those have useless luxury options that sporty drivers don't care for, but lack the performance options that this car has. A base stripper 718 Cayman has a higher MSRP than this.

Damn...

Somebody please buy this so that I wouldn't have to torment myself over it...

Base - 718 Cayman S
030 - PASM Sport Suspension (20 Mm Lower)

581 - Luggage Net In Passenger Footwell
583 - Smoking Package

^ thank god I cant afford it... as in I dont have that much cash lying around...

I assume Porsche used car financing is like 8% lolol... might as well reverse mortgage my house at that point... and if I were to get an equity loan for my property... I would look into depreciated exotics like a 458... ahhh well..

I fully agree, that is an awesome example of a car for someone...

[Traum]

Quick corrections:

It's got SPASM, not PASM. SPASM is Sport PASM, and is 20mm lower than the standard suspension. PASM is "just" PASM, and is 10mm lower than the standard suspension.

The PTV torque vectoring package also means it comes with the factory LSD.

Hell, we may as well just rip off Jalopnik and call it 'revscene nice price or crack pipe'

Every few pages or so we always seem to circle back to the same conversations

"There should be a separate thread for XXX cars specifically" bla bla.
