the S3 is going

[s3gav]

well after 3 weeks of being on pistonheads the 1st viewer came yesterday afternoon,
He wants the car that i have loved and cherished for more than 4 years, He came back round today with the deposit and wants to take the car at the weekend i feel sick at the thought of it going now and im dreading the day he drives it away.
it has been by far my best car but on the up side i get to shop for e39 M5s.
i just hope the bmw forums are as helpful and frieendly as everyone this forum

Regards
gav

Good good, so the burning question that everyone wants to know is, what did you let it go for, or is that classified? lol

 

[s3gav]

£6600 i let it go for i wanted more because of what ive spent on it this year alone but hey ho we all know that you always lose money on cars just hope it gets looked after like i looked after it

 

[sportstractor]

i almost bought this car 8 months ago except gav wasnt quite ready to sell

 

[s3gav]

hello mate i wish i had now i spent over £3000 on it after that and im only selling it for £600 more than you were going to pay lol
still not 100% sure on selling but i really want a M5 and i cant have both

 

[sportstractor]

Well they do seem to be notorious money pits. A M5 will be much more enjoyable too. Shame I probably would prefer a red one

Not a bad price at this time of year, did he get the Porsche rims etc. with the sale? Bargain if he did to be fair.

 

[s3gav]

pretty much all what i spent was on mods lol so its my own fault but i did change all my perished hoses.
got to love a nice red car best colour imo on the right car of course.
im looking forward to some tail out action with the bimmer lol should be fun

He got everything mate loads of spares all the pretty much brand new mods.
i had loads of emails about the wheels but just wanted it to go all together

 

[darkfibre]

You have (had!) a great looking car. £6600 for all that is a blimmin' bargain imo.

 

[s3gav]

thanks mate
the milage was at 99k and i prefer doing my own servicing (dont trust garages)
think that would put people off.
I think he got one hell of a bargain but atleast i got the funds i need to get my new car now so im happy

 

[s3dave]

that potential m5 is going to see a permanent crack fom ear to ear....scarey beasts...assuming you are going for the 2005+ model @500+bhp

 

[mk1chopper]

E39 M5 is 1998 to 2003, still 5.0 litre V8 and 400bhp will put a massive smile on your face, and possibly a big hole in your pocket if you have a heavy right foot. Would love a go in one myself, a lot of car for not a lot of money these days. although I think id go for a B6 S4 over the M5 just because I want an estate lol. Good luck with the search. Some bmw forums are good, I was on an e30 forum when I had my 318is, some really helpful people on there but when looking into e36 other forums werent as good, but that was 4 years ago now so things may have changed.

 

[1animal1]

Good luck matey and get some pics up of the new motor before you elope

 

[Ash B]

Gav glad you manage to sell her after. You get the price you wanted? Buyer lucky, getting a well looked after and modded S3 Hope you enjoy the new car, before you leave us for good when you get the M5 post some photos up. Good luck with the new car when you get it mate

 

[DJ_Troopa]

Good luck Gav! Hope the new owner pops on here with it! Defo get pics up of the M5, what a beast!!
