Well, he did not just say that it is better for everybody. He said that it is better for everybody HERE. I agree. This is an E30M3 board and what he is saying is that if someone gets a big price for their E30M3 then for those of us (most of us) on this board that own E30M3's then that is good news for the value on our cars. So...it obviously is not good for everybody but it is good for those of us that own E30M3's.
I think we need to be sure the car for sale is the same car that used to be owned by Jon. The one on pistonheads has origianl alloys, no smoked headlamps, original front indicator lense's and original kidney grill. I know that these can all be changed but I'm not sure this car is the one that used to owned by Jon.
I'm pretty sure that jon confirmed it was his old car. he also had previously stated that most of the (minor) mods he had made were removed prior to sale. Obviously there may be a simple explanation, but it doesn't look likely...
There was no misunderstanding. I took "everybody" to mean everybody who owns an E30 M3. Please explain why this is good news, unless we are retiring from M3 ownership.
As as been said, John has confirmed this is his old car for sale. "If" the car really has had a bare metal respray since John's ownership, then it's been for a reason such as a bump, or vandalism etc. I did also ask the seller for details of the person who did the work, which he replied was a friend who has painted many cars for him before. Suprise suprise..
Well, firstly, he did not say 'everybody that owns an M3'. I have already reiterated that which was stated and I'm not about to waste my time being repetitive. Same applies to your second para. READ what I said.
I would have thought that a mint car like this would have SOME documentation if being sold, given it's history.. Sounds a little fishy to have a $5k re-spray and not be willing to provide proof to 'interested buyers'. Is there any reason why he is selling?? Seams a shame to let a MINT e30 M3 go. Laurence.
Well Laurence, I agree. The good news is that you and I already have our E30M3's and I could not give a rat's arse about that particular car. Moreover, if people want to argue about the stupid damn thing then they can go wank all over it for all I care and it will not matter a hill of beans to me.. Sometimes I get well fed up with trying to help... This is one of those occassions..
I have just entered this forum at a rquest of a member ?? I am assuming these forums are old and dead now by the above post. if anyone is interested there are people actively chatting at www.s14.net
