I bought this car a year and a half ago at 90,000km. Pretty much just use this car to and from work... unlike my previous cars, I never tracked this car, although I've done a few runs down 1A in the car. The handling is pretty dialed in for a 3700lb sedan, eats up 1A pretty good!

Optional factory features include:


Heated front seats
Sunroof
HID
Rain sensor wipers
Rear privacy shade


When I got it, I did my usual round of upgrades, spent about $6 or $7k on these mods:


Pioneer 980BT Head Unit (http://forums.beyond.ca/st/121228/anyone-here-work-at-soundsaround/ see page 2)
Bluetooth module
Ipod connect module
Eibach Springs
19" Zenetti Five Wheels (Black)
17" AMG Monoblock Wheels (Winter wheels and tires)
5 window tint, 35%


Car drives great, handles great, looks great, power is good (354hp stock). It's got ESP, so it's great in the winter, even with the low rideheight (I live in Arbour Lake, where the wind gives us insane amounts of high snowdrifts). In the 20,000km that I drove it, I've done 2 Mobil 1 oil changes. I had to recharge the AC when I first got the car as well. Other than that, I've never had a problem with the car. It's bulletproof.

So, whats wrong with the car? When I bought it, there was a long deep scratch on the rear bumper which I never bothered fixing. I did get a quote on it, $450 to spot paint just that section, but I'd have to leave the car there for a week or 2 and just didn't bother. The scratch is completely isolated to the bumper.

I've done some research on current market, and found 3 on Canada trader.

Quebec Car:
http://www.canadatrader.com/result/detailinfo.aspx?ID=26945129&pgno=1&srt=1
151,000km, dunno what the deal is with this car, but it's at $21,000.

Edmonton Car:
http://www.canadatrader.com/result/detailinfo.aspx?ID=25608593&pgno=1&srt=1
120,000km, $30,000.

BC Car:
http://www.canadatrader.com/result/detailinfo.aspx?ID=25667077&pgno=1&srt=1
85,000km, $34,500

All 3 cars are dealer cars, which means you'd have to pay GST. I'm buying another car really soon, so I'm pricing this fairly, and throwing in all the extras pretty much for free. No, I won't be parting anything out.

Asking $32,000. Shitloads of pics of the car with the wheels here:

Oh, and if you want to leave good or bad comments, feel free to without getting banned, you can break the rule ;). The car's available for viewing on weekends (waaaay too busy during week). I'll be more than happy to give you a ride in the car driving it as hard as you want me to. No test drives unless you're serious (meaning a deposit).

This car is a hunk of fuck and will be nothing but trouble for the owner!






On a serious note, This is an exceptional bargain and having known rage2 for as long as I have, he takes great care of his cars, and would have no equivocations purchasing this for myself, short of not having the cash. I love that car, Especially when I'm feeling mobsterish.

That car's ride is superb, very comfortable! And it's definately faster than it's size would suggest. 354hp or not, I didn't think it would move like it did. :thumbsup:

What do you have your sights on now (if you don't mind)?

Just letting you know your canadatrader links do not work...cant hotlink to there

rage2
06-12-2007, 03:50 PM
Weird those links still work for me. Oh well, no biggie, if something really thinks I'm lying, they can do the search themselves lol.

As for next car, I've been debating over E46 M3 cab SMG, VW GTI DSG, or wait for the Mitsu EVO X DSG. I've been talking and reading so much that if I don't sell my car I'd never pull the trigger, so it'll force me to buy one pretty quick haha.

Choose these cars based on the transmission... I figured if I don't have time to play Forza 2 at home, might as well pretend to play it on the way to work lol.

Also looking at the 335i convertible, but so far there's too many shortcomings for that price.

Bump for a great seller, if I had the money I would buy it. Maybe if you can hold onto the car for 3 years??


No, in all seriousness...this is a steal of a deal...congrats to the next owner if he/she is on beyond

Man, as soon as my car sells, I will buy this. Bump for a honest guy and great seller.

I have seen this car, and it is mint. This is an awesome deal, someone jump on this.

Oh man, I hate to see this car go... don't sell it rage2. This car is one of a kind.

OK so I bought a new car today, which means I have no garage space and this car's gotta go. Updated with a firm price, but I can negotiate lower if I take some of the stuff out. It's going in the autotrader next week for $31,500.

Dropped the price by another grand, since my new Nav is here, and I can reuse the bluetooth and IPOD integration, so I took it out ;).
