My M3 is for sale :o( ...

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

Hey guys,

Due to the wonders of modern science and the failure of the pill, we are now with child, and as such our M3, WHICH WE HAVE HAD FOR ALL OF 4 MONTHS, is up for sale. Apparently it may be difficult to use with a newborn, although I do dispute this (but we all know it isn’t my decision!!).

Anyway, the car is immaculate, you will not find a better condition and better maintained, similarly aged car. Also completely clean and non-modified, so will give someone the opportunity to do what they want to it!

We are looking for around £13500, which seems fair based on similarly specced/maintained vehicles.

haha...you were pretty smug when you got that

[Baj]

hmm, if you had been 3 months earlier...

[alpine_saint]

Would have thought its worth more than that.

I know, but now I can insist on an RS4 estate, so every cloud and that...

I would seriously had been interested if you got me a few months ago

The worst thing was, we were! Found out at 23 weeks...

147's are nice cars though.

[sussexsaint]

Er.... If you need the money then fine but a newborn will be fine in that.

Ours is fine in our rx8 and was fine in my old 328i coupe

I agree, but the missus is insisting

She is more bothered about getting the baby in and out if the back without having 4 doors...

[sussexsaint]

So before you flog your pride and joy , borrow a car seat. Take it somewhere and try the seat as many times as you can to get it looking slick then show her how easy it is. Got to be worth a pop. Or a fiat mulitipla awaits my friend

Sensible lady! My daughter buggered her back lifting her baby in and out of a 2 door car

I never understand why people go for red interior! As for the RS4 they are soooo much more expensive than the equivalent M3!

Congrats BTW fella.

[swannymere]

Red interior's are great with certain colours, we're a bit boring and play it safe with cream or black when it comes to leather interior's in this country.

Agree totally. I cant understand why so many people buy a silver car with black or grey interior. Its so dull.

Ah...the sound of a penny dropping.....happy news twice over!

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

So, due to a new job where I will now drive and not train into London, I get to keep the M3.

Good things come to those who wait

[stevegrant]

Jammy bastard

Tempted to sell my Leon Cupra R, really don't use it enough now to justify the £500 insurance and £270 tax

I'm amazed that webuyanycar.com is a viable business, surely nobody accepts the pathetic amounts they offer?!

Who's going to buy a yellow SEAT though?

You'd be surprised.

Not before November when we took it off the market (due to it being a convertible of course), then we were going to relist in March, but got new job in time to stop that happening.

Dont do it Steve, I sold my 1 about 2 years ago and wish I hadn't even now..... mainly cos I haven't grown up properly at 35!

Yep Mrs D got £1100 more than they offered for her peugeot by advertising it herself. Sold it in 2 hours.

I'd have thought WBAC make a lot of their money from people moving abroad who don't have a lot of time and NEED their car gone and quickly. If you stick it on autotrader and 3 months later nobody has bought it, it is effectively worthless if your on the flight to Melbourne tomorrow.

Hardly a huge market to keep a company going that has a frankly, massive and expensive ad campaign. They rely on the divs, the lazy and the desperate. You can put them in the same bracket as Wonga.com and BrightHouse etc.

[TopGun]

Same company as Car craft also.

Who are also a ripoff. One of the girls who works for my missus paid £13k including finance for a 4 year old CityRover a few years ago. Utter crooks, especially at the Chertsey branch.

But you've lost your child benefit! I thought that had caused an urgent financial crisis??

That's not Car crafts fault, surely?

She didn't have to pay over the odds
