Decent 02's are going for around €45k now, youd get one for €40k if you shop around. They come down a lot in price, Id say if you wait a bit longer youll get a nice 03 for early 40's. |

That car doesn't have its original engine either from what I've been told.
A friend in the car business told me to avoid that crowd like the plague... |

I would check at the stealers about that car especially warranty work I think that car was in M&G in Milltown a few times and it might have got a new engine or two at some stage and if it is the same car it was trashed to its death most times by the owners who blew the engine once, just go in with the registration and ask nicely if they can give you any history on the car and that will put your mind at ease about it

You're both right, though I've had no interest in the 325 so I'm now thinking of just trading it in against an M3 here. Silver's my preferred colour and all...  |

Dude Considering the nature of the car, if I was buying an M3 now, I would hang on for the right low mileage one. That car doesn't even have full leather seats which I am sure is affecting the price. As Phil says, hang on and spend a bit more for a better specced car with low mileage. Mick |

The E46m M3's are going for nothing now. High enough mileage on that, but still very cheap. Youd get a 2003 one for €45k if you look around.

I have bought 2 cars off Glen..... The first was a lemon as documented on this site, the second my current car is perfect. I dont have any bad words for them. I think all car dealers are the same.... Mick Acutally my sisters 525i came from Glen also. No problems there too. (2 out of 3 aint bad)

Has anyone in heard anything about this M3 or gone to have a look at it?
http://www.usedcars.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car& ;carID=261374 It's been up for months and the price has changed from €42K to €36k in that time. I think this is the 3rd garage it's been in, so alarm bells are already ringing. Anyone had any dealings with the garage? |
