Yeah, was so glad it sold so quickly. Posted it midday, got a call at 8pm, next day viewing and deposit, then the day after took it to mechanic to check over and then sold. My bmw 120I on the other hand, 3 phone calls in one month and no one came to view so I cut my losses and traded in for ep3 :)
I can't agree that good ones go quickly.
My 2001 model had only 27,500 Km on the clock, was in mint condition, & properly serviced.
Sure the owner wanted top dollar, but it had been on the market for over 6 weeks before I decided it was worth driving almost 200Km each way, to look at it.
I had been trying to find a good one in Brisbane, & preferred a quiet grey, rather than a bright yellow, however the only other 2 really good cars for sale at the time had red seats, which I did not like.
I went, I saw, I bought, to paraphrase the old saying, even if it was yellow, but some of those quite nice cars took some time to sell.
There were also some quite nice cars for sale in the low to mid twenties, as it would appear there are now.
Oh, & the car is everything I hoped for, & have got to really like yellow.
i think colour has a big thing to do with it. ive noticed yellow and silver don't sell nearly as fast as the good conditioned and reasonably priced white/black/blue cars. even a really clean red one was up for at least 5-6 weeks before it got sold.
Is buying a s2k with logbooks a must? I seen a few which looked very clean car wise but they dont come with log books. . .
if ur referring to the blue one on gumtree... stay clear. i spoke to the owner and asked him how many owners the car has had and he replied with "i dont take notice of little things like that, the car drives really well". He kept reiterating the fact that the car 'drives well'. Seemed in a rush to sell (probably something very wrong with the car), albeit i will admit from the pics it looks clean, but those pics could have been taken 2 yrs ago for all we know =P
i think log books are not a MUST, but definitely a big big bonus and a good sign the car has been treated well. if u do all the mechanical checks (compression etc) and there is no chassis damage, a missing logbook will just mean u get less resale out of it.
Nah not the blue one theres another blue one listed that one was in good nick, engine bay down to the mods were top stuff just a few i have seen doesn't hav log books. Im going to do a mech inspection so don't you worry about that, I offered the guy with the dodgy blue on 14k and he was happy to take that offer but i was only joking around lol.Quote:

is the blue one on carsales or gumtree? cos the one i was talking about was the more expensive one on gumtree
The 14k guy was the 16.5k on on gumtree. I said i will only take it for 14k after a mech inspection and he was happy so i dont think its that bad. I also checked the more expensive blue one on gum tree and the car outside/inside was in great condition.
really? interesting.... but 14k really seems like a sign telling u to stay clear dude... well if u end up getting the inspection let me know how it goes lol. i went to see that one and everything about it seemed terrible... bad condition overall
Funny thing is. . . his the only guy that has 2 original keys + red key + original manual . . . The way neater ones i checked are like one sets of keys only and not even the manual . . those ones are the ones listed for 20k above. . .Quote:
