Hi guys,
I was looking for an 04 stock M3 coupe for a long time, but came across an 01 model that has my eye. I plan on sealing the deal this Saturday. Just thought I'd ask for a final approval from the forum.

2001 Silver / Black, 50K
Xenon, Cold Weather, Leather, Sunroof (NO premium, NAV, PDC, Rear Shade).
Dinan S1 - Intake, Throttle Bodies, Exhaust, Software, Konis, Strut Bars, Mats, Pedals, etc.
OEM Euro Rotors
OEM ZCP Wheels
25-30% tint, I cannot tell
UUC SSK Gen 3
Painted Reflectors

It looks to be in great condition. No accident or body work history. Perfect Carfax, getting a PPI on Wednesday.
I plan on giving it a professional detail, along with a full service, tires, RTAB/RSM, etc shortly after I get it, along with some Eagle Eye LED tails.
I think after that, it could pass as an 04 aside for the Piano Black trim (which I like).

Anyways, the price is $27,620.
It doesn't have options like PDC or SMG, which I am glad, because I think on an 01, I want fewer parts that can break. It only has 7-8K/yr average.

Thoughts?
I was thinking, if I buy a stock and loaded 04, it'd be $33K'ish, and then I'd spend at least $8-10K in mods... I like what this car has, and expect the savings to go towards repairs.

 

wyatt, sounds like a nice car...i would offer 26,500 and see if u can walk out with that price as it has some nice mods on it. the exhaust NEEDS to go though. full SS race FTW.

 

damn wyatth...still in the market for one?
i was in the market for awhile and i was only looking at 03.5+ models.
well anyways, sounds like you found what you wanted.
good luck with it and got any pictures of that car?

 

Haha... Well he wanted $31K and I offered $26K. We babbled back and forth and finally ended at $27.5K + PPI ($27,620).

I too wanted an 04 loaded and stock model.. But this one came up and just seems like a better value to me. After I clean it up a little and add a few small things, I should be done around $30K. Compared to a stock 04 for $33K'ish with $10K in mods for $43K... I'll pocket the $13K and wait for something to break.

Here are a few pictures:

 

Looks like a screamin deal Wyatt!

 

Stop following me!

 

I know somebody that's trying to get rid of his '03.5 for $28k.

Has 50k miles on it or so, but it's SUPER clean. PM me if you're interested.

///M prices are falling quickly these days...

 

very clean looking car, get it.

 

Love it. I'm glad at least one of us has found one!

The rims = sex. I wouldn't buy an M any other way.

 

LOL!

I didn't know you were on 6speed too. Damn, you've been a member since you were 15! Nice.

 

You bet! And M3F member since Dec 2002.

 

lol!
a step closer to the "official" m3f member

are you comfortable buying a car without seeing it in person? the car seems to be in florida and you are from canada. just curious

 

The car is actually in SF, CA now. I am at school in Canada, but from Seattle. I plan to fly out of Seattle, inspect, pay, and drive it back north over a weekend. However, I bought an S2000 and C43 AMG both unseen from the East Coast.

 

Nice ride buddy. Do it.

You gonna go see Levon when you head down to SF?

 

Hell yeah! Staying at his place for the night.
He has an '06 AW/IR coupe now.. So I hope to get pictures with his car above the GG bridge. Can't wait. The car goes in for a PPI tomorrow.
