ad could just be someone effing around, I texted them, for $3K I'd buy that car. Wrong number on the ad, poor guy, his phone is getting blown up.

bummer. the ad had a few formatting things that usually are a warning, but the location looks like west van, and the old plates are nice to see from a long time owner.

hopefully it was an innocent mistake and somebody can scoop this through email.

So what is real asking price ? Seller hasn't changed it yet.

SkunkWorks 09-01-2021 02:48 PM

That's an awesome deal for that touring. Ad looks legit - maybe just fat fingered the phone number?

Anyone know about this car? Any issues etc with it?

Looks like no ABS or A/C but still a good deal there. A/C for me was a deal killer - I find NBs too hot to drive in the summer without A/C but maybe I'm just a spoiled wuss (good odds that I am).

snowfarmer 09-01-2021 03:34 PM

I got in touch through email with the seller, it's legit...he's away for a couple of days, I'm going to check it out as soon as he's back and hopefully make an easy transaction for him.

??? He posted an ad for a car for sale at like less than half market price with the wrong phone number and then goes away for a couple days?

These things are extremely rare. I've never seen one in-person, AND it's a '98

Was it you that was looking for an OEM EM1 airbox?

Can’t post Facebook link…
But cool 1978 Volvo 240 w/ 5.0 swap on Facebook for 12k. Built in the 90’s, great shape. Screaming for some new wheels and a pair of turbos.

bcuzracecarz 09-03-2021 12:05 PM

Tofu’s ex M3 that gets around more than the town sloot

I can’t get over how many times this thing has been sold and resold and yet the mileage doesn’t go up very much at all. It’s wild

Seriously tho. Non I drive, no nav, unique colour DSG. Pretty great to be a track car.

westopher 09-03-2021 02:32 PM

Lol how many owners is it on now? It literally could be 20.

snowfarmer 09-03-2021 03:11 PM

Damnit, the seller realized from the deluge of interest that it might be priced a bit low, he's going to relist it for $5K. At $5K it's not quite the same no-brainer it was at $3K.

Thoughts?

Forget it. It can sit on the market for a few weeks until someone talks him down to $3500 because a PPI shows it’s actually a piece of shit like almost all of them. He can make his extra $500 for 20-40 hours worth of hassles. #profit

I added up the taxes on this car could've had....... 3x at least of what the car is worth.


the biggest winner was the tax man of canada..... :heckno:

if i had 30k lying around...... id buy it back, put a roll bar in it for track use.

prudz 09-05-2021 09:36 AM

That car is probably the only M car in Vancouver to get multiple CPO inspections and reconditioning work MULTIPLE times per year. Want a spotless car that got overkill dealer work done, that's the car. I almost bought the car myself when we had it in the dealer last time. Then I demo'd it home and got 18L/100km and was like nahhhhhh lmao the brap brap is real.
