didn't this car sell for 10-11? "mechanic owned" i feel like it might even have been a bicbaws candidate. Might have been a different one.

Nope. I had titanium silver.
But this is in fact my co workers old car. A BMW tech owned car too so it’s quite well sorted out.
Well driven. Well used. But rock solid.

how much does odometer really affect value on a 20-year old anyways if everything else checks out?
is it safe to say the ship for a 10-12k M car has probably sailed?

is it safe to say the ship for a 10-12k M car has probably sailed? | Due to the fact everyone thinks they are professional car investmenters these days, a lot. A 50k e46 m3 in a desirable colour combo/spec is going to be 40USD+ where a 200k car in the same spec is going to be 20ish.
The only 10-12k m car you are gonna get is a beat SMG e63 m6, a terrible e36 m3 or e36/7 m roadster, or maybe a salvage/smg e46 m3 vert.

Looks nice now, I wonder how well it'll age.
On the other hand it's a 12 year old p-car maybe longevity is not really a realistic expectation.
$18.9k seems cheap, is that the going rate for these? Sounds like a lot of car for the money.

Macadamia metallic.
they offered it on 997 and 987 as well. very rare color and looks fantastic under the sun.
color is straight up brown on cloudy days. Cool color. very retro.

From my research I think the Gts still has the v8 engine problems, I forgot if it was some engine coating that would wear out, only the turbos don't have it. But then you have the turbo cooling problems. And premium gas is over $1.4 again |

^ v8 cayennes had bore scoring from the cylinder liners failing. Think bmw had similar problems back in the day with nikasil or alusil or something. I do believe newer cayennes and turbos did not have the same issue

^ Nikasil lining that deteriorated with sulfer content levels in shitty gas at the time. Alusil was the solution.

Am I the only one that judges vehicles like a cayenne gts, but runs on $100 chinese “MAJORIS” tires. I ain’t judging, I run cheapo tires too. But my focus didn’t have a *starting* msrp of 90k |

In that case I would judge the owner more than the vehicle, if they cheap out on tires what else would they have cheaped out on with the car?
Not judging you for running cheap tires tho lol.

Agreed, reasonable chance there is a pending repair that the owner can't afford. Quote:

I don't buy cars if it's got junk tires. If the owner is that cheap, so cheap they buy the cheapest of the cheapest tires that I can't pronounce, that car prob has not seen an ounce of maintenance or used dollar store oil all it's life.
