Hey Dudes,

It wasnt an M3 GT, the one darren is lookin at is boston green, the GT is in a weird green colour

Personally I dont like that colour

You need to get yourself a nice Avus Blue coupe with grey leather, nice colour just like mine and John's

Autotrader website search 200 miles around my Milton Keynes postcode.

The last one looked nice-silver is a very nice colour on these cars.

Makes mine look cheap at £11-£11.5k LOL!!

A freind of mine recently bought a 944 from the same dealer. The price was slighlty over the top too but the car was immaculate, plus they resolved his minor quibbles without question. They were very helpful & had lots of other tasty cars in there.

One of the cars was a four door 3.0 M3 about 4 months ago I think. If I remember correctly it was on an 'N' plate. If it's the same one, they're obviously having trouble shifting it so that's your cue to make a cheeky offer. It looked good though.

My 3.0 coupe with similar makes the same light tapping noise on start up but it dissapears as soon as it starts to warm up. It also did it after a Sytner inspection 1 so I wouldn't worry about it as long as it does go away when warm.

Good luck.

Paul

Yeah that would be the one your talking about. It was a N reg 4 door in green. The salesman said he had only had it a few days, i knew he was talking out his a*s cos i phoned about this one about 2 months ago. The ticking noise did fade out after it was started.

I might make an offer then around 8500. Should i be put of by the 100k milage? They did say if anything went wrong within 6 months they would fix it.

thats ok m8 LOL

That garage have just called me. I said i was looking to spend around 8500 on a car like that. They must be keen to sell asap. bit strange how they would call to see if i was still interested after a couple of days.

What do u think guys? stay away, or buy and pray?

M3 GT1 was 295bhp variation on 3L M3-as said has alcantera trim and twin rear spoiler. Only available in British Racing Green, matt.

M3 GT2 was based on Evo but is really an individual Evo-no engine mods but upgraded trim and bits n bobs. No engine mods though but still a nice special edition.

Senny-if you have to ask then you already know the answer-I felt the same about most of the ones I saw til I saw the 1 I bought-got deal done on the spot cos I knew it was too good to miss.

My experience is that you'll know the one you want to buy once you see it.  If you are not certain that it's the car for you then don't buy it.  I saw two or three that I would not have wanted no matter how much the price came down, but when I saw the one I bought, it was just a case of agreeing a price. 

If it is the car for you then waving cash, as opposed to cheques, part exchange or a finance deal which will all get him a better profit - sometime in the future, in the face of the seller at this time of the year should work wonders, but only if you are sure that the car is for you.

If it was me, I'd go in there with £7750 in cash in one pocket and the balance of the maximum I was prepared to pay in another and do some nose to nose negotiation.  Best of luck.

Go in very low after all it's christmas and they are unlikely to sell untill about the end of january and they all want there Christmas Bonus. The advice above is very shroud. Go in make your silly offer and show then the money if they don't take it walk away and see if they have any reaction. If they react you will be buying a very cheap car. Try £7500 and be prepared to go to 8k and see what happens. But only do this if you like the car and feel it is genuine as i have herd of clocked cars from a Garage by that name from a friend in the trade who sold a 525 with 160k and saw it on offer with 80k about three weeks later. He was sure it was the same car he sold. If you have any doubt walk away as there are plenty of nice M3's about.
