I learned my lesson years ago with a shît box integra I bought. When I sold it, the owner did a carfax and the history was PAGES long. Theft, theft, accident, vandalism, theft, theft etc.

The only time I don’t run carfax now is if the car is simply too good of a deal to pass up (and any history wouldn’t change whether it was a steal or not) or I know the owner/history of the car

probably a curber.

Can't it be as simple as seller using an old picture of the dash a couple of years ago? ... possibly?

underscore 08-01-2021 02:28 PM

The ad does list the odo as 101158, so I'm guessing they just saved and are reusing the photos from the ad they bought it from/when they tried to sell it previously.

how come Buicks never got SS designation?

300 torques and brembos not good enough

jaaagman 08-01-2021 08:55 PM

Is it just me or does the backend have 3 shades of white. Wonder if it's had any rear end damage...

vitaminG 08-02-2021 08:11 AM

SS was a Chevy marketing term which was severely watered down into nothing in the 2000s anyway. Buick gave the GS badges to some of their more high performance models

My coworker had that car in metallic grey, automatic and it was pretty damn awesome. It was his first American car and since then he’s bought two more Buick’s and one more for his dad.

Only thing he didn’t like was the stock wheels. Great design but 20” meant expensive tires

The biggest disappointment ever. I eagerly awaited for the 2.7 V6T with AWD and it came with the 2.0 and FWD. Nice car but not what I wanted.

Is this a good deal for an E36 M3 these days? Seems like the prices have gone up, like with just about every enthusiast car.

Car was sold on Facebook marketplace for 13.7k IIRC in April

You’ll be the third owner since then. Make sure the fans are working and if they haven’t been, leakdown test time.

Jeez. Im guessing they didnt want to tackle the cooling system?

Again with these prices going up im more and more tempted to sell my M3 :badpokerface:

westopher 08-03-2021 02:52 PM

Let me know if you ever do. I know lots of people that would want it that I’d send your way so we could potentially not have to see it posted in this thread every 2 months for 3k more than last time.

RevYouUp 08-03-2021 08:48 PM

Hmmm?

^ While you're at it please get rid of those tinted tails.

TopsyCrett 08-04-2021 12:25 PM

Thoughts on this? Low KM, inoffensive color combo worth the premium? or am I just used to seeing these at $38,000 on the low end these days :'(

When I saw "The Honda Way" in the pic, I knew that the it would be an overpriced S2000, but that's still a bit of sticker shock. A bargain compared to a $79K CTR LE, I guess...

Let’s protest about the climate and cause a grid lock to cause even more climate issues.
