Bought my first car: DID I MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE??Help me out..

[ThaiRacer]

I'm not sure what you are referring to, but he never told me to give the car a tune-up; in fact, he told me that majority of the components were replaced and that the car was ready to go.

Sorry I re-read your first post, I thought he said for your to replace those stuff. But it was that he had already replaced it.


But seems like u got a hell of a deal.

Wow 8500, I am surprised that more people on this board didn't find out about this car. That was a very very good find. I would say that if you don't absolutely love that car after driving it for awhile you should sell it and make a handsome profit. (but I doubt you will do this because how could you not love that car?)

Don't worry about some of the more negative comments, 95% of the people on this forum would have loved to get that kinda deal. Don't be discouraged. This is actually a really helpful site that will be able to anwser all of your questions (just make sure to check and see if the question has already been answered, the search function is your friend).

If you don't turn that car around for mass profits then good luck to you.

$8500?! Lucky Bastard!

Nice find, take care of it... Don't get r3ved a new one, if you want to daily it then do it! I've always had the mentality that you buy a car to drive it, not to let it sit in a garage. That's what a car was made for anyways right? Ride in style, just don't do some ghey ricey shit to it and i'm all for it. :up:

How much did u pay for it? If the car was "regularly driven and serviced" why would he recommend you to basically give your car a extensive tune-up?

I'm not sure what you are referring to, but he never told me to give the car a tune-up; in fact, he told me that majority of the components were replaced and that the car was ready to go. (i guess all sellers would try to get your money that way...lol) And I'm really sorry if I made some people jealous, but I'm really happy with the purchase hahaha. I still can't believe it's my car. But please don't say stuff like "you don't deserve it". I DID go through extensive research on the nature and history of the car, but I just lack general mechanical knowledge, hence I posted the thread. In case you guys were wondering about it, I did buy the car for around 8500 US...(i guess with the currency conversion). So was it a good buy? Help me out with how to maintain and ride it forever guys ! i really like the car..:)

P.S. BTW, i remember him saying that the car was recently repainted, and I'm the 3rd owner; the previous owner was a lady (drove the car for only a year according to carfax..) and a relative of the seller. She gave him permission to do w/e he wanted w/ it, so he just decided to sell it i guess..

lol @ wheels

in for the morning

[stumble_t]

WOW dude, dont take this the wrong way but...
I'd be concerned about this buy. First off this guy obviously didn't give a shit about that car, or care about preserving it, otherwise he would have found a knowledgeable buyer with the means to do just that. Or he was asking stoopid money and you paid. How many people who actually know that car passed on it before you stepped in? idk maybe u got lucky??? Not to say you aren't entitled to an awesome car but its painful to think of what may happen to it.

Best of Luck with your new M3.

we're all being had. this can't be real

[Il Duce]

troll.

[Tbolt]

How should you maintain it? Give it to a proper home!

would have been much better off buying a swapped e30

[chadthestampede]

I can't see any of the pics. Someone want to post them in the thread?

[Adrian_Visser]

ugghhhh trade me cars e30 m3's suck but i would be willing to take a hit since you're new to the community I have an '89 325is it is a much better car ask anyone m3's are gay

[Nic01101011]

you are not worthy of that car.
sell it and get something else.

[ben312]

Put it in your garage for another 10 years and sell it for close to 60k+

[Todd Black 88]

Your going to piss a lot of people off on here.

1. I could barely read your post
2. You bought a e30m3 as your first car
3. You bought a e30m3 without knowing anything about it
4. You are planning on daily driving a e30m3
5. It's got hub-caps! hahahahahaha

I'm guessing you've never heard of the $20,000 rule of the e30m3?

Is that the rule now? Used to be 15k. Damn inflation.
