WHO IS IN SOCAL?? DIESEL?? MUSTANGAFFICIONADO??

There is an M coupe in Hollywood that is an absolute gem, I just got off the phone with the owner. Single owner, 72k miles, all service records since new- Estoril Blue motherfuckers.

For anyone that has a good eye mechanically- and could do an inspection of the car and a test drive- take pics and report back to me.... i will give them $50.

PM ME FOR DETAILS ASAP.

Thanks.

Can you just send me the $50?

Can't drive stick

Yeah, I need someone that is overly critical and knows what to look for.

Clinks, clunks, noises, check the bearings, check the clutch, check the e-brake, check for leaks, check fluid levels, etc. etc.

I will do it, no problem. I am extremely picky about cars and have been driving standard since I was 18. PM me the details. I can check it out tomorrow after work for you.

Ask all the questions about the clutch, leaks etc. If it checks out just buy it, as long as it has a clean carfax. If you go down and he lies about the condition you talk his price down. If he does not give in then you do option B, which is best explained by this video.







Really, your going to drive from Arizona?

Strangelove, I will PM you soon- got some hw going on atm.


He insists that all service was done per manual, through a dealership- and that the carfax is 100% correct with him being the only owner. He also said that if i call up the dealership with that vin- all service history should show.

I'm waiting for his email with more pics and the dealership names.

he's in LA atm AFAIK

Well, I can sort of drive stick. I don't stall anymore, but I've never driven it alone...or on crowded streets.

But yes, I know...Fail nonetheless.

Edit: If the clutch didn't have a problem, it would by the time I got done with it.

fail

Vadvagool, you just need to drive a low hp/low torque sub-2500lb manual car with bald tires on a steep uphill during rush hour with a raging thunderstorm which restricts visibility to the tip of your dick... then you'll have mastered it. Assuming you don't stall, crash, or kill anyone.

I live in San Diego, not the same thing. On the east coast that could be another state's distance away depending on where in LA.
I would honestly do it for free if i were close. Free ride in an M coupe and i'd take my pay out of the tires.

Yeah I live in LA now, I need to update my info on DS...

Hex, if you give me your phone or email, I can send you pics from my phone. I don't need any money to do this. Maybe a beer if I ever find myself in IL, but thats all. Like Mustang said, driving a M Coupe is good enough.

Will you have any kind of digital camera at your disposal instead of phone pics?


I gotta make sure that the bank stuff is sorted out tomorrow, my dad doesn't own me and tell me to go F myself about the idea... and call the dealerships/get carfax.

Then test drive

Then plane tickets

Then pickup

I drove Mun G's protege...and a '96 Civic DX

I got the sub 2500lb thing, low hp, low tq. I've done a hill.

A dry hill is no problem.

But a wet hill with bald tires?

Never driven in the rain or an bald tires.

Need more access to a manual first. And it barely rains here.

SD -> Hollywood 1.5-2 hours drive and about 115 miles away.

Strangelove, I will send you a lifetime supply of oil, a chest full of gold, and fifty virgins if you buy this car for me, drive to Illinois, point at Hex as you drive by, and call him a Jew.

Hall of fame material, please?

gold.

Deal.


Hex: The iPhone Camera is pretty good. I do have an SLR if you really want, but it is so much easier to do the phone.

Talked to Las Vegas BMW where he had it serviced at- facts check out. He bought it there, all scheduled maintenance complete, no repairs show.

Aside from the wrong-offset wheels on it- it's solid.

Things remaining:

-Getting carfax
-Strangelove test drive
-Securing money
.... then flying out!?!?

I might be able to get you a carfax today.

You forgot one step

.. turn around and sell it immediately for $5 profit.

haha, so true

this is getting pretty exciting. Imagine stangelove crashes it in the test drive

I heard from a BWM guy that the M coups dont handle as well as M3's. Any validity to that?

The absolute opposite of that is true. M coupes are lighter, have better weight distribution and are like scalpels on the track.

Scalpels on a track would be dangerous.

The M3s have much better rear suspension design I believe is the general consensus.

Yeah, i just heard the suspension is rudimentary.

regardless

I've been walking around with a boner for the last few days in hopes of getting all of this sorted out.

You know- like knocking shit off shelves with it and what not.


Hey! I even have wheels that would fit it..... but don't worry- they'll go on some ridiculous vw somewhere:

Wow, you must have a ton of buyers lined up for the BMW already if you're this anxious.

What kind of profit are we looking at? $10k? $20k?

LOL!

The magical thing about these cars- is that if you don't put crazy miles on them, keep them in good condition... they won't really depreciate, at all.

They're the 2nd highest value-holding BMW other than the e30 m3.

That didn't read as a denial to me at all. That read as more or less an agreement with what was said above.

haha.

It means... that if something comes up, or the inner jew comes out, selling it at purchase price or more would be extremely easy.

Ah so that means you won't be owning it for very long then.

takes alot of balls driving around in a baby blue penis shaped car

I'm an extremely indecisive person whose tastes, goals, desires change very frequently. Not to mention that there is a very good chance I start my masters in Jan 11'... anything can happen with my housing situation/parking/etc. I like to think far in advance, so I keep all possibilities open.

All I can say is: I fucking told you, Flaw. I motehrfucking told you.

Those wheels would look HORRIBLE on a coupe.

Fixed.

True

I was near Hollywood yesterday. Went to UCLA to see friends.

Wish I coulda test driven it for you.

News?

Yah, I want to drive an M Coupe already.
