don't forget, oil/ coolant lines for turbo, the "smart" alternator cooking batteries with no permanent fix, more oil leaks, turbo issues, carbon build up, injector issues.......... seen one throw a connecting rod as well.

always 2-3 of those N63 cars in the shop with subframe dropped along with the long block.

if I ever do sell any one of those, I always tell my customers buy a damn warranty, if not, just don't touch one at all and stick with a N55 powered car.

Its not just BMW though, it goes for quite a few brands nowadays. Cars aren't built to last anymore as people switch cars every few years. Manufactures figure they'd make more money by switching their customers every few years instead of building an honest and reliable machine.

This...since the early 2000s I've noticed that everything has become "disposable". It's always replace instead of repair.

Well, I would understand if my daughter doesn't want an old manual car that can't be locked. The safety and convenience level is just too low.
But if it were my son I'd be really mad lol

Definitely a Honda family judging by the background cars in some of the photos. I know it's 27 years old but that seems like a good deal for a Honda with that low of km.

This. I bet dealer only gave him about 45k. I like how he goes about using black book value to justify his asking price. in my experience, no dealer ever gave me black book value unless i haggled and fought.

it's too close to 2010 prices, i don't think it's a good buy


Who want some 6mt action on a CTSV

That price isn't ridiculous but not a steal at all, but also factor in that its the first year for a "supercar", most people are hesitant of all the kinks and bugs that could go wrong

Could you not do am "in and out" at the dealer and split the difference of the tax credit?

I'm assuming he really has a car lined up to buy.

I was under the impression all the first gen cts v had garbage diffs. They have upgraded half shafts and cradles available, and if you don't launch the car much it will probably last.
