You don't really want a 5sp car if you plan to do anything with it other than cruise in a convertible. The 5sp doesn't get the LSD, and I don't see anyone doing a full teardown becauseracecar build, you are going to want that LSD.

That's my old car. 100% confirmed. Have been in touch with the new owner for a few months. Edit: I even saw it in the flesh back in September 2022.

Anyone interested - PM me.

I sold it for $1.

My ownership of this vehicle was over a decade ago. There are several factors one can make assumptions on what makes up the asking price, but I will let the public be the judge of that. I don't own the vehicle anymore so whoever owns it now can ask whatever they want for it.

looks clean. engine bay is pretty - and no mods. #ASCgang

OP should put the stock wheel back in (tbf stated as included in the ad). it's like he did 99% of the work to appeal to a purist and tripped at the finish line.

sold for 10k 10 years ago? - it's illegal to ask even a dollar more than that then /s

Yeah it's an auto with comfort seats, but it's getting tougher to find a clean E46 with the 3.0 these days. Seems like a very clean example and it appears that all of the maintenance has been taken care of. Just in time for summer and a good candidate for collectors plates in a couple of years. Great car to have in your stable/collection.

^I see a good number of mint older vehicles in Tsawwassen, and this looks like an example of one of those. Good find!

Now I see this. I had that 330CI parted out in like 2 days lol

I have to admit, it was a lot easier to work on, than I expected.

2008 sc430, no accidents, only had 57,000kms on it. Whatttttt?!?!?
35k is a bit steeep but given the condition it’s not a half bad buy if you wanted the best of the best Lexus cruisers.

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...608376116.html

Same price as above, but double the mileage and pebble beach edition.

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...610608617.html
STS V !!!! 39,000km, 26k

STS seems like it would be a sneaky sleeper cruiser, not outrageous price either for the kms. If you like noise it would be great

as the only chinaman i know who loves cadillacs with a passion, that STS-V is hot as hell. I just dont know anything about the northstar v8 other than i heard they were giant pieces of shits.

And... maybe some icing on the cake for someone? They only made 642 of these in 2007, so this vehicle qualifies for collector's plates at 15 years old (which it already is)

I don't think all Northstars were born alike, have to read more to see if this is one of the troublesome ones haha... at least this one is rear wheel drive so it's more serviceable

edit: looks like they sorted the issues before this particular engine design... and in fact this is a closed deck engine, pretty impressive... people are saying the drivetrain is the least of your concerns on this thing, it's the ancillary stuff like alternators and electronics and gadgets that make you sad

I remember watching Matrix Reloaded as a kid and I kept rewatching the scene with the CTS because I thought it was so cool.

There's a part of me that really want a XLR-V from that era, but shied away when I read how expensive parts are or simply non-existent.

Asking the BMW experts... how good / bad is the E82 cabrio with an N55 engine? So far I've found the usual BMW plastics issues, high pressure fuel pump, oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket, etc. Most of this seems typical BMW stuff. Are there reasons to stay away from these?

Starting to see N55 rod bearing failures.
Do the E82 convertibles suffer from the same hydraulic line failure the E93 tops do?
