E30 M3 Inspection Help

Buy it. Right meow. Just have her give the starting number not you and don't act over eager if its too low. BUY IT. Sell your significant other and live in a room on craigslist. Just buy it.

Haha funny you say that, because my significant other has said we can live off KD for a while if needed

As others have said, buy it!
If not, please give me some info so I can.

Be careful when you talk to her!

She might not be aware of the fact that prices have started to rise. If she finds out that they are worth a lot more now and are climbing quickly in value she might not sell. Definitely see what she wants for it before making any offers or it could get tricky.

Thats what I was thinking too.

I am buying my ticket to TO right now you know...........



She doesn't live behind a bakery does she?

Hahaha no, definitely not.

More or less waiting until the spring because of salt on the roads / canadian snowbelt winter and snow covered roads. She's not in a rush to sell it, but I absolutely don't want anyone to jump in there and swipe it.

Currently waiting on a phone call back about going to inspect it in the next day or two...

I know you dont want it to see salt, but rolling it out of a driveway and onto a trailer wont kill it. :)

Haha you make a very good point there...

Ok, its just that you mentioned you would be waiting until spring to test drive it, which is definitely not a good idea. If it runs, has the original drivetrain, and no rust, its a 40k+ car most likely. And I am sure this old lady has no idea of that.

Like others have stated, these cars' prices are sky rocketing.

No rust & original owner? I would have already bought it

Agreed, I would buy one as the OP described sight unseen.

Make time! When she has time, you GO! ASAP.

Find out what she wants for it.

[Powling]

Buy it. Now. (depending on how much she is asking of course)

If there is no rust and it runs, its a 20-30k car. The prices only go up from there.

If it is only a 60,000km car (I can't tell if waffles60,000km is 160k or not) and 1 owner, its potentially 60k+. If that was 160km its still a 35k car depending on condition. The sub 100k miles cars are where they start going to 40k on up.

Thanks for the breif, loose price breakdown. This confirms what I've been loosely noticing with the market.

Just curious what is she looking to get for it? Regardless you should act fast on it.

I'm not sure what she is thinking in terms of price. I don't believe she is aware of the prices on market these days but is in the real estate market so I'm sure she knows how to do her research and negotiate. My fingers are crossed she won't know the true value of the market right now.

Dig up the cash and go buy the car as soon as possible. Stop wasting time or you will lose your chance, do not wait for spring.

I'm not wasting time, its setting up a time when both our schedules align for us to view the car!
