Every British sports car is going to have electrical issues, whether they're mentioned in the ad or not.

true, electrical issues are part of the british car ownership experience, so it should be a given. it's like telling someone fire will burn you... duh :lol

but in this case, if they have to specifically mention it, and it's "unknown"... you know it's bad. i guess i'm just not into that kind of self-punishment (my dad used to own an old jaguar so yeah i know).

or just say f*ck it, gut everything out and do this:

This one looks okay for a 2nd gen miata @6k w/134km. it is from a dodge dealer. It has a nardi steering wheel/ pwr antenna which leads me to believe it is a touring package.

Just In: 2009 BMW M3, 54800K, 18' Alloy, Xenon, M3 V8, Navigation.

Anybody know the story on this one? Seems like a solid deal, but feel like it's been for sale somewhere else and just got transfered there

2000 Mazda Miata

Hit or miss with this one. I'd be a bit weary with the seller not disclosing everything. Probably needs more work than just the water pump and heater core, or else he'd have fixed it, considering he has a 996 cab in the garage, unless he hood rich.

Although manual would be more fun, DCT is awesome as a daily, especially when you get the Dinan flash. When you have setting 5 for shifts, the up and down shifts are blindingly fast and firm. Plus the throttle blip down shifts with an exhaust is awesome.....

I still reach for the clutch when driving a car with paddle shifters.

That's never fun. Say no to automagic transmission!

The owner of this M5 is one of the two owners of VCM Auto in Victoria. She also had a fire orange E92 M3 DCT but sold it recently. I posted it a few months back when it was $22 or 23k. The wheels are are not the original finish anymore. I was really tempted until my current car came up for sale. Makes a great family car :badpokerface:

VCM also has a white wrecked liberty walk E92 M3 sitting in the showroom. Has some huge 20" black mesh wheels.

Basket case E36 M3 anyone? $3600

westopher 04-07-2016 08:01 PM

I assumed the ad was fake for that m5 for sure. Was the car supercharged previously? Seems to have an active autowerks badge on the back?
