Too bad they want $47K for it. But damn! Practically a brand new car...

Neato, but i like my steering wheel buttons too much.

I think I would probably prefer one with 20k miles, than one that has never been used at all in 6 years.

Very nice. But I agree Monster Munch. Would rather have one that's actually been driven and maintained than a garage queen.

Unless I could get it fresh off the factory floor with 0 miles.

 

[PricklyPete]

Oh man...that is so freak'n tempting...but hard to justify 47K when I could get a 2008+ for that kind of money. I do love the E46 though and that is a pristine copy.

Too much of a collectors item.

 

[ponyo]

What's so special about this M3? Low miles? That's a con, not a plus.

 

[Imported]

I'm more interested in that Integra Type-R they have in the background.. Maybe I'll go check them out. $50k is too much for a 2005 M3.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Great styling but too much for that year and miles. I would give $35k tops.

 

[alkemyst]

What's odd is it's up to 2711 miles and still $45k...someone is driving it.

I tried to negotiate on this. The most my bank would lend is $39k. With shipping and tax I was looking at a $10,000 down payment and IMHO about $9k more than it's worth being it's pretty bare.

I am trying to find a Silver Gray or Alpine White on Black, 6 speed manual from 2005/2006. Competition Pack I may not care about as much after all.

Reminds me of buying sealed copies of 8/16 bit game cartridges for thousands.

You're never going to open it and turn your $3000 factory sealed item into a $150 opened item, but if you never open it or play with it, you never know if you got taken and there is nothing inside but a block of wood or a Chrono Trigger shell with a Home Alone PCB inside. Schroedinger's Cat :awe:

Part of the reason I stick to mint like new complete with box just without the shrink wrap. I cringe at the thought of having a $20,000 SNES cartridge collection that just sits in their shrink wrapped boxes and you never know if half of them are worthless. The price on some sealed games is definitely worth someone going through great pains to make a 100% authentic fake, knowing that a sealed copy would never be opened by a collector to ever be verified.

Nothing to do with cars, that's just what this reminded me of

Yeah someone posted it on m3 forum again. Nowhere near the money; you're well into e92 m3 land.

Plus I still think you're better of getting a 30K mile one.
