Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 (edited) 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. - 2004 54 - Grey/Silver Convertible - Red Napa Leather - 39500 miles - Manual - FSH - 2 months Tax - 9 months MOT - Electric Memory seats - Cruise Control - Climate Control - Air Conditioning - Traction Control - Rain Sensing Wipers - Auto Headlights - Lights Pack - Bi-xenon headlamps and headlight wash - Flat tire warning sensor - Rear Parking Sensors - Full BMW Service History Just had an Inspection 2 done, and also comes with 32 months Gold warranty for parts failure. The service history as follows: Pre Delivery Check – 18/08/2004 - Altwood BMW Running In Check – 01/03/2005 - Cooper BMW - 1548 Oil Service – 26/06/2006 – Vines BMW - 9889 Inspection 1 – 25/02/2008 - Vines BMW - 20111 Inspection 1 – 06/05/2009 - Vines BMW - 28597 Inspection 2 – 08/03/2012 – James Paul BMW – 37506 Brake Fluid Vines BMW – 26/06/2006 – 9889 Vines BMW – 06/05/2009 – 28597 James Paul BMW – 08/03/2012 – 37506 The only bad bit is slight kerbing on one rear alloy, the car is seriously in amazing condition! Any questions please feel free to ask! Edited 1 July, 2012 by Dibden Purlieu Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 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...n Sensible lady! My daughter buggered her back lifting her baby in and out of a 2 door car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raging Bull Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swannymere Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree totally. I cant understand why so many people buy a silver car with black or grey interior. Its so dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 22 February, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 22 February, 2013 Share Posted 22 February, 2013 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?!

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 22 February, 2013 Couldn't sell it then?? 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.

Lighthouse Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGun Posted 6 March, 2013 Share Posted 6 March, 2013 Same company as Car craft also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 6 March, 2013 Author Share Posted 6 March, 2013 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.
