John,

Try advertising in Roundel. You'll get a lot more hits on there than you will on the forums - people are notoriously cheap here :stickoutt .

Nice car, I think you should easily be able to get $18-20k for it.

I just forwarded this to 2 of my friends who are currently looking...

- people are notoriously cheap here

I'll give you $8k for it today :eek:

:stickoutt

OK.

I get to keep the wheels (both sets), shocks, engine, trans, seats, brakes and suspension.

:D

JV

lol.. bump :-p

you should get alot more then 16 my old neighbor bought a 97 for like 28 like 2 years ago

You many want to try listing this with the VMSC (Virginia Motorsports Club), Tidewater SCCA, Blue Ridge BMWCCA, etc. for some possible responses. Again, I'd jump on it if I had some more solid and steady income.

Im trying to sell my g/f my modded 328is as we speak :redspot
~Phil

Awesome! Hope she buys it!

up up up

Nice car... I really wish I had the means to buy it right now... :(

hehe

Buuuuuuuuuump

I can't believe you're having such a hard time selling this. Then again, I guess it hasn't been that long. How many miles are on it?

See Post #1.

Most people on these forums already have a BMW. So I'm not surprised it's not selling.

Put it in Roundel and it'll probably be gone in a month, especially for 16k.

My car is a '95 with 70k on it and I wouldn't let it go for less than $16k. :dunno

But that's because your car's famous! :eek:

79k miles.

Also included are the stock shifter, stock stereo, bentley service manual, and new rear shock mounts not yet installed.

What a good deal. Too bad I don't have the kind of money to do that.

buuump

Have you tried carmax? You could take off all the easily accessible mods, sell the car to carmax + sell the mods seperately and probably get close to your asking price. :dunno

Carmax absolutely will RAPE you on an M3. Don't know why, but it's a fact.

Really? Wonder why.. I have never taken an M3 there, but have taken quite a few other cars there and have always been given a good bit more than real dealers had offered. The one in rockville always seemed to have a couple bmw's on the lot.. :dunno

Probably because they use a combination of book/auction values instead of some arbitrary value you feel is appropriate :stickoutt

There definitely is a disconnect between real market value and book value for these cars, E36 or E46. It's impossible to buy a nice used example for what KBB or Edmunds says you can.

Carmax offered Ken something in the mid $30k range for his '03 M3 last summer, IIRC. :confused

Here is the recent manheim market report. I don't know what kbb says, but they might offer you $14k at carmax -- you could keep the stereo, shifter, and rsm's and sell them seperately.. :dunno

Those are definitely low for our market.

And I'm not sure Carmax would even buy a 1996. I think it's too old for them.

Those are autcion results -- so those were likely dealers buying them at that price and marking them up 4k.

buuuump :)

up

My neighbor is looking for an M3 I will keep you informed.. it is still for sale right>?

Yes, still for sale, thanks for the heads up.

ttt again
