I plan to do exactly the same with an E46 M3 I've had my eye on for a while now-A lot of garages are having trouble shifting them so they're offering them with a years free tax too. Christmas is coming early!

I've noticed a lot of 2007 cars beginning to appear in recent days, almost all heavy metal.  I've also noticed a few dealers are already beginning to tee up used stock that won't arrive until Jan.

If anyone has been keeping a watchful eye on bigger motors that have been hanging around in the dealers (or private sales) for a while, a mad offer might just do it before the car gets to be a year older in Jan.

I bought the 330Ci a few weeks ago, privately, at nearly €4k less than the initial asking price a few months ago (and even that wasn't too unreasonable when it first appeared).

Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

e46 328i SE Touring, 330Ci, 318Ci.

e36 325i Coupe *2, 323i SE, 316iSE.
e30 325iSE 2dr, 320i Conv, 320i 2dr, 316i.

Annesley have a used one and I thought I saw one in Joe Duffys. Des Cullens rag top is nice if you have 315k handy or you could go for the 4 door V12 flying spur in Cork for a mere 300k.

tis alot of wedge but they are special, regardless of whether they have VW bits or not. VW isn't the worst parts bin to be raiding...

having said that, I'd spend my money elsewhere I think.

Beluga Black?? There really are a lot of these out on the roads-For the kind of money they cost I could never understand someone who'd pay that for a car that pretty much is a ''massaged'' VW. You could buy 3 new M3's for the cost of one of these babies new!!

I've seen a few of them appear used, I'd imagine its a very limited market for those babies.  Beautiful machines though, wonder what the price new is???

Richford have some serious motors in stock - had an SLR and GT40 at the toys for big boys show two weeks ago.  They have an Aston there for the past 6 months, sweet car.  They had an early 911 twin turbo in the showroom when I was in a few months back, black with whale tail, absolute stunner - think it was 75k.

I'm guessing this must be fairly cheap (QA reject), it looks like they misspelt the brand name on the seat embossing......
