David

well thanks david, but this would make a GREAT track car for anyone!

pics. give me offers.

more.

So you have no clue what is wrong with this car, I should be getting my insurance money soon and I am looking to get a 95 m3 but one that is running, do you have any ideas on the problems with this, hpw much are you willing to take on this.

David

david, i am going tomorrow to try and find out. if it isn't going to cost much to repair, i will go ahead and do it.

Thats great, I love the luxury package, if ts reasonable for me will you be able to hold off on it till my insurance money comes in? I really dont wanna part with the bimmers. Its a manual and an m3 the best of both worlds. Do you know if the title on the car and everything else is clean.?

Thanks

David

yes, everything is clean.

Well deff keep me posted I am in need of a new car, please email me once you find out everything, maybe we can workout a deal or something.

Thanks

David

My Email (david@splatinks.com)

please email me about your car. i'm very interested. cara@mechanicmasters.com

Thanks

so it has a clean title ? just a bad motor and tranny ?

ballpark $ ??

send me asking price
t25bimmer@yahoo.com

okay guys, don't give me bullshit like an offer of $4k. don't insult me guys.

okay guys, don't give me bullshit like an offer of $4k. don't insult me guys.

what are you looking for ?

4k-8k for a m3 with a bum motor and tranny sounds fair....

That's what I think too. You can pick up a running, nice condition M3 for 10K right now.

lol, show me a running m3 for 10k with under 100k miles. it won't happen. show me one anyway. and $4k is an insult i don't care what you say. show me another M3 that isn't wrecked for $4k and i will eat my words@

If you dont want anybody to lowball you, why dont you just put how much you want for it?

damn man I remember when you got that car (i had been interested in it) sorry to see you've had so much trouble with getting a good engine.

Give us an idea and we can go from there. Wasn't trying to insult you.

If you're parting out the car in the future, I'd be interested in the wood trim pieces.

How about a trade for a 325ic? Heh. Youd owe me some cash though, fuck trading a car for a non working car with no cash to pay for it.

so...... give us a ballpark figure ?

Not exactly fair, now, is this? Might be under 100k miles, but ITS NOT RUNNING.

I understand that you don't like the idea of parting with her for 4k.. but honestly thats probably not TOO far off... I hope you're not thinking you'll get over 10k for her?

Not trying to be inflamatory, but try to be reasonable... you're selling damaged goods.

I agree with the others... give an offer if you're going to be upset if someone "lowballs" you...

Steve

OK OK can someone post his permanently somwhere on here....

I keep a very close eye on the market as well as I buy and sell quite a few high line cars.

Now hear this: when you are selling a car, or anything else for that matter, the market(or simply the individual buying it) determines the value. Keep your pride and your blue book in your pocket.

Book value on a non running M of this vintage is around $5000..but try taking it to a dealer or auction and demand they pay you book value. It wont happen. You would be offered a grand to start and maybe get up to $3000 if they had the resources and any interest to invest getting the car back on the road. Time is money, not to mention a new motor is big bucks too.

The strategy when buying is buy low, ecspecially for a non running vehicle.

This is just my experience and opinion, no insults or anything of that nature intended.

Good luck with your sale

Thank you all for coming

Several things to help Nathan out. For one, the car is running, just running rough. The entire head was pretty much rebuilt, engine flushed. It coulld just need a few miles to break stuff in. The transmission does sound to be out, but whoopty doo, thats 650 dollars. His paint is very clean, seats are mint, what is there more to ask for. As a matter of fact, go out and try to find a non-running M3 for your guys projects...bet ya can't find one. He was looking for offers around 10K. He paid more than that a year ago for it with a blown engine all together. He is also giving you the parts to sell for easily 1-2k. Give him a break...and you can't get "book" value on a non-running car. The value of it is more than that.

Wes

10K! You guys are smoking crack. That car without a running motor or tranny is worth no more than 5k. Get you head out from where the sun don't shine. Good luck, because you are going to need it if you think you are going to get 10K for that car.

chongus, once again, people want to speak of the market and how they should pay this and that, but they can't, because the cars are not out there. I have decided to fix the car and just take it. but i do NOT feel that the price of $10k is unfair when you are almost getting TWO engines with this car. So for everyone reading, it was a "feeler" if you have read and the car will be fixed and driven till the wheels fall off. oh yeah wes, thanks man, some people want to drive bmw's on a honda civic budget.

hmm..well I dont believe anyone offered you even $5000 for the car.


its a feeler; you ask, we tell, now you know. like I said the market determines the value, plain and simple.

it is a very nice looking car no doubt!

oh and about honda civic budget wanna be driving bmw'ers, I personally would never buy a broken down car. i like low miles and unabused and am not afraid to pay a bit more for an imacculate car.


take care and enjoy that thing when you get her going!!

I agreed with M.T. Pocket.
every vehicle has its market value, it is how you determine such vehicle currently. Just because eg. Joe blow puts 10K in the stereo system, does not meant that he should sell it back for 20K even if he bought it for 15K.
A non-run-BMW is a scarry and shitless fear.. much less the pimp M3! Finding spare parts at your local junk yard might take a bitching task... know, my patient owns 2 junk yard.
If you bring to a mechanic, the first thing will be ...its a bimmer, lets charge that sap an arm and a leg.
Overall, the time an effort put into fix it will be very costly.

regarding the price, May I suggest you guy scan the autotrader, yes there is a car under 10K ... I should know, my brother just bought one today...8K, M3 blk/blk 108K miles--one owner, he is a physician no bull shit.

the thing about getting the two engines is they don't work. You could have thousands of dollars into rebuilding one of the engines without even blinking. For example, I bought a m52 with a spun rod and paid 2k for it. I had another 1500 in parts in it before even blinking. The point is the motors could be total crap and no one would know until they have them. Wanting over 10k for a car like yours is rediculous in today's market where you can go spend 0% interest for a year on a new car.

a bad engine and bad tranny
are you retarted iw will be at least 6k before that moves again
fix it a mechanic will change another 2k to put both in
i just got a 97 m3 3.2 obdI off ebay in boston for 8800 with 86000miles
clean title
10000 for a car that you definitly beat on if the tranny and engine are both gone before 100k is this a fucking joke
get a clue afeeler
what did you just want to get shit on

Honestly, your guys garbage is pissing me off. No one has the balls to honestly pay what E36 M3's are worth. My friend sold his MINT 98' M3 with 60K miles for 28K dollars a few months ago. How about, I just saw a 95' M3 at a dealer just sell for 18K with 89k miles. Nathans car has 92k chassis miles, much less than majority of the 95' M3's forsale. He never said 10K was his bottom line. He was entertaining offers AROUND 10K. I have been in the BMW crowd for as long as I can remember, and honestly I can't remember EVER seeing BMW owners being such pricks. No one is willing to do their own work. To rebuild an engine doesn't cost anything close to 6K. Hell, a fully built Mchenry 3.0L is 6K, and that is new pistons, balanced crank and rods, honed block etc... I just finished a 3.0L stroker engine, costing me UNDER 2K dollars with schrick cams, PnP, valve job, JE pistons etc... The crap isn't that hard. You could drive off with Nathans car and 300 engine HP for under 12K dollars. You can't say that you bought such and such of ebay...and I dare to see you get that car inspected. Nathans price isn't even close to retarted, its you posters that are retarted. I am finished.

Like I said, good luck with the sale.

Did you consider my trade outkast aliens?

Just FYI.... I broke the motor in my 98 M3. It was going to cost about 6K to rebuild it.

I bought a motor with 17k miles on it COMPLETE for $3900. There was also a motor / tranny combo on Ebay that went for $3800 with 12k miles on it.

Start looking for a motor / tranny and fix the car.

post some more pics

well guys, found out it was not that bad AT ALL so i am going to continue to give her some love.

glad to hear that you're going to be able to get it fixed. Sorry this thread turned into such a bash job.

Awsome!! What was wrong with it??

Excellent... glad it worked out... sorry for ragging on you, I thought the problems were more severe.
