Re: Need more info........ (archive)

It take much less clairvoyance to decipher the hidden agenda in your messages, than it does to appraise a vehicle UNSEEN/UNDRIVEN. Perhaps you could start, however, explaining the value disparity in a 2- versus 4-door m-technic--as this was deemed significant by you--and we'll proceed from there. -Sal

Well, in my opinion, it is in "good" condition, as if our definitions are identical, anyway. After ten years of use or abuse, it's impossible to assess the value of a car without a) SEEING IT! or b) DRIVING IT!. There is such a wide potential value range after so many years of service. So, don't try to be a smartass.. Oohh..4dr versus coupe..there's a $50 swing! Like that's not a personal preference call anyway. Here's a few more questions you can add to your arsenal, ensuring a more accurate appraisal:

Windshield wipers: Bosch or 'Car and driver'?
Floormats?
Fuzzy Dice in mirror?
Windows: Light, dark, no tint?
Full/Empty tank of Washer Fluid?

You could care less about giving this guy a fair appraisal. Your post was just some scheme to make yourself look like some cool, bimmer.org expert/dork. Oh, or maybe you are intimately familiar with the current market value of the M-technic line? -Amused, Sal.

Sal,
As a matter of fact I am intimately familiar. I owned a 92 M-technic 325ic up until about a month ago at which point I traded it for a 850i. I currently own 4 BMW's and have owned as many as 8. So, armed with that information, perhaps you'd like to step back and re-think your position. Since you obviously are clairvoyant and could "sense" my intent just by reading my post, I won't go into great depth explaining to you that had there been more info provided, it would have been easier to assign a ballpark figure to the value of the car.

Hope you're still amused :)
