2004 M3 convertible, 70,8xx miles.  6 speed manual.  Impeccably maintained, recent inspection II with valve adjustment.  Oil change within 500 miles.  Runs flawlessly.  Silver/black leather.  Top is in perfect condition, and factory windscreen is included.  Heated and power seats, leather is in great condition with expected wear on driver’s bolster, steering wheel.  Non smoker car, garage kept at all times.

New brakes at 65k, brand new rear tires, front tires 80%.  I recently had polyurethane trailing arm bushings installed as the stock rubber bushings were causing premature tire wear on the rear tires.  The poly bushings don’t squeak.  Two tasteful mods: Borla stainless midpipe and Rogue Engineering El Diablo stainless muffler (no more rasp, deeper tone but not louder than stock), and an AFE cold air intake.  I have the stock exhaust and airbox and will absolutely include in the sale.  The El Diablo muffler sounds great and looks even better with larger polished exhaust tips.  Top of the line Alpine CDA-117 with Bluetooth integrated phone, iphone/ipod and trunk is prewired for a subwoofer (RCA and line).  Stock stereo included as well.

Paint is near flawless with the exception of a surface scratch on the passenger door.  Very subtle.  A few years back an empty coffee can flew out of a pickup truck on the freeway and hit the left fog light and part of the hood.  I had the repair done at Anthony’s Auto Craft in San Rafael, CA, which is the authorized repair shop for Ferrari, Mercedes and BMW.  Autocheck reports the car was in an accident “left front corner” but this doesn’t report the full picture.  The car was not in a collision; road debris caused the need for a cosmetic repair and the paintwork was done at the best possible shop.  I stress ‘cosmetic’ because there was no body work needed, just repaint (hood and bumper) and replace the foglight.  I have the invoice from Anthony’s for your review. 

I hate to sell the M3 but my wife doesn’t drive manual shift.  I bought this car in 2010 from a private party with 36k miles and it had the factory warranty at that time.  I can’t stress enough that this car has been maintained very well; all service, oil changes and needed maintenance has been performed at timely intervals.  This M3 road warrior is setup perfectly and will make the next owner very happy.

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo has the biggest price discount in America

Thu, Apr 9 2020

Right now, buyers of the 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo are paying an average of $248,000 to drive the brand-new supercar off the dealer lot. That's a hefty chunk of change, but it represents $16,269 off the car's average $264,969 retail price, according to data provided to Autoblog by Truecar. That's the largest discount in America on a new vehicle for the month of April, 2020 when judged by the dollar amount in savings off the sticker. It's not all that uncommon to see a lot of money taken off the sticker price of expensive luxury cars. This month, right behind the Lamborghini sits the 2019 BMW 8 Series with a few bucks shy of $11,000 in savings, which is hardly surprising. Though it's a very sleek and entertaining car in some of its various incarnations, it hasn't exactly proven to be a hot seller for the German automaker. The fact that there are a total of 15 (!) possible configurations probably doesn't help. Two other BMWs, the 2020 7 Series ($10,164 in savings) and the 2019 i8 ($10,145) are also on the top 10 biggest discounts list. In between that BMW sandwich are the 2019 and 2020 editions of the Acura NSX. It doesn't really matter which one a buyer chooses to drive off the lot, either way lopping off more than $10,000 off the sticker price means the electrified supercar will cost just under $150k. For a look at the best new car deals in America based on the percentage discount off their suggested asking prices, check out our monthly recap here.

Cars with the worst resale value after 5 years

Tue, Nov 7 2023

While the old saying that cars lose a massive chunk of their value as soon as they’re driven off the dealerÂ’s lot might not be entirely true these days, most new vehicles steadily lose value as they age and are used. iSeeCars recently released its latest study on depreciation, finding the models that lose value the fastest, and the list is packed with high-end nameplates. The vehicles that lost value the fastest over five years include: Maserati Quattroporte: 64.5% depreciation BMW 7 Series: 61.8% Maserati Ghibli: 61.3% BMW 5 Series Hybrid: 58.8% Cadillac Escalade ESV: 58.5% BMW X5: 58.2% Infiniti QX80: 58.1% Maserati Levante: 57.8% Jaguar XF: 57.6% Audi A7: 57.2% While sports cars, hybrids, and trucks dominated the list of slowest-depreciating vehicles, luxury brands accounted for all of the top ten fastest-depreciating models. iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer also pointed out EVsÂ’ lack of representation on the slow-depreciating vehicles list, saying that thereÂ’s a disconnect between what automakers are building and what people actually want. The average five-year depreciation for all vehicles in the iSeeCars study was 38.8 percent. ThatÂ’s an almost 11% improvement over 2019Â’s figures, but some vehicle types perform worse than others. EVs depreciated 49.1 percent over five years, while SUVs dropped 41.2%. Trucks only fell 34.8% and hybrids 37.4%. Brauer noted that all vehicles depreciate slower than they did five years ago. Even so, EVs are not the best choice if youÂ’re looking for a vehicle that wonÂ’t feel like a ripoff when itÂ’s time to trade in. On the flip side, used EVs can present a stellar value, saving thousands over their new counterparts. Charging times and availability remain concerns for buyers in large parts of the country, but a heavily depreciated EV could be the used car value youÂ’ve been looking for. The same wisdom applies to used luxury vehicles, as the list above indicates. While new-car buyers shopping for luxury cars are set to see big depreciation during their ownership, that means the used car market is flooded with inexpensive used luxury cars. High repair costs and costly maintenance schedules are real issues that used luxury models face, however. Green Audi BMW Cadillac Infiniti Jaguar Maserati Car Buying Used Car Buying
