Clean E46 M3 - dealer find

[msm]

Busy dealing with a dealer on my consignment sale on my Landy, when I came across this gem on their lot:

Managed to get the keys and have a look at it and by my standards, one of the better M3's I've seen recently. From what I remember, car has PDC, Harmon Kardon, electric blinds - no sat nav. Also had VPS still on with little to no chips on the front. Exterior is great - interior trim just needs some work (which is easy to sort out)

Here's the ad link: Autotrader Link. The guy to speak to is Chris.

Really wish I had the funds to buy this, but for me, right car, wrong time

Disclaimer: I have no involvement with this deal - just sharing and hope this beauty goes to someone who appreciates it. If I've violated any forum rules by posting this, mods please delete or move.

ADDITIONAL EDIT AFTER INITIAL POST: Based on feedback from several members, please be cautious and verify mileage, history, accident damage, etc. Car might be genuinely good or not - check, check, check for yourself!.

:coolShake: R350 - thats a great price for such a beauty - some guys will disagree and want it for half that but bitch when they try sell their cars way below the value the hold in their cars. :clapper:

Guys this monte carlo auto......Stay far away we just had a huge issue with a mates 323i that he bought from them, and they sold him a fraudulent A6 in the first place with mileage that was turned back.........funny enough the guys name that we had major issues with is Chris.

Remember the Red Key fob of death i posted a few weeks back?......that was from Monte carlo auto......They are very very very Unreliable and complete Bullshitters.

Just for record sake that Fraudulent A6 that they took back it is for sale again from them with fake Mileage.............Make you think how trust worthy they are and what other dodgy sh1t they up to.

I cannot Stress Enough...........STAY FAR AND CLEAR !!!!!

Dude you have no idead how much me and my buddy fought with that guy...he is a complete prick and even charged my mate R10000 to have a new lockset put in that was their FA-CUP.....they are a complete bunch of Clowns. i hit em with the CPA and that is the only reason they fitted half the bill for the lockset !!!

 

[Ratslaaf]

Heh, I know of another car they were involved with that had a serious haircut. They ended up taking the car back after we put proof together of the fact.

 

[zubz.parker10]

thats a lovely m3

 

[Spiro]

Friend of min also an Ex BMW guy, bought an audi a3 from them about a year back...

according to them... ZERO Accident damage... i see the car about 4 months after he has it... body filler like a mofo...this was on the left boot section...


then we had to change brake pads on the Audi..

where the Jack goes... it actually pressed into the body filler...


he had to sell the car at a beeeeeg loss



BE very careful... what the Eyes See and the Ears Hear... the Mind Believes ...

I guess this thread serves as a warning then to anyone going to see this car. Inspect it like a hawk - else walk away.

Another NO for Monte Carlo. Been tempted to go see several cars there. Wanted to buy BMW M5-GP (Touring M5 E61 space grey- bucket list car for me). Gave me the run around first not taking my offer to owner (who was apparently overseas), then marking it down BELOW what I had offered some weeks later, then not being clear on whether the car was for sale at all or not. Even said one of the guys whose name is IN THE ADVERT JUST POSTED above didn't work there anymore and got amnesia around the preceding incidents...

Heard several stories of turned back mileage as well.

Your experience with the M5 is a carbon copy of mine when trying to buy an RS5 cab from them. A very very dodgy bunch.

 

[rsgordini]

i did a google search and heard similar horror stories...

Scary stuff..

Homework, make sure you inspect car thoroughly before buying..

Get the history from agents etc... inspect with aa..

 

[msm]

Thanks for the comments guys. Added a cautionary note to my initial thread to warn potential forum members. Would be sad if this car was tampered or messed in any way, as it looks so tempting.

 

[kushesh1]

i also bought a 323i e90 sportspack with them , chris never tell me the car had 70k worth comments , i was stupid not to check but ya.

 

[waylander42]

Never bought from them, but did go check out a few cars with them, all of which were claimed at being "clean", but all had serious issues when I actually drove them. Got a seriously bad vibe from that place and never thought about going back.

I was looking at buy a 135i from them a while back. Two forum members were also looking at the same car later on.

Apparently stock never tuned, Take for a test drive and i notice a usb cable protruding out at the driver side dash vent. Let it warm up, then try to test the cars performance, the car goes straight into limp mode.

Drive back and i get the VIN of the disc and i fin d out that the car was also in an accident as well.

So i walked away from the car.

The interior of this M3 is also quite worn out for a car that's done less than 7500kms a year. Those pedals are also quite worn.
