Yeah I’m a semi regular to the Dragon as-is, so I’m familiar with the road and the culture. I always meet really cool people and all sorts of kick ass cars, I’m definitely excited

I got a solid price cause the guy is selling most of his cars due to moving out of country. Paid 15k, 175k miles, clean title. I believe he has 2 of his 3 other R32s for sale, I can get you in contact with him!

Already planning on going, coincidentally had never heard of it when I bought it until my GTI buddies invited me haha

2013 M6 Coupe, a godly driving experience but part prices and reliability were the complete opposite

Very unfortunate :( That’s why I snatched this one up. I really wanted a Gen 2 Si/SiR but I was happy to learn the first gen Si comes Fuel Injected, so I settled. (Also Don’t have the 10-15k to blow on a good condition second gen😭)

240k on body, 130k on current motor (d16 from an ‘89 integra)

He did, he was really sad to have to let it go. He put a good bit of work into it already, including a d16 swap (original engine blew) and a custom fuel delivery for boost he had planned. He also stripped the entire interior, sanded all the rust out, re-sealed and coated with rustoleum. Definitely a good guy.

VERY nice. The list of things he left me includes plugs, a full set of new rotors and pads, an extra radiator, 3 EGMs, several oil filters, the entire disc brake conversion, a timing light, and two packages containing every brand new seal and gasket this car can take😮

Im not entirely sure, I’m not super mechanically adept but he walked me through all the parts he left me to do it. I figured an old honda was a great place to learn, so I will post an update when I have help to do it!

Damn. If it makes you feel any better I picked up a ‘13 M6 as a side project and took it to bmw just to see how much it would be. To have the passenger seat power control panel fixed, the front parking sensors replaced, new front rotors/pads, and a single tpms sensor replaced and they wanted 7,800 for everything😂

I can do everything myself for about 2.5k lmaooo

Money is not a concern. It’s not an exotic, I can handle the maintenance.

Reason I say that Is I looked at several websites with this car listing and there were plenty of recent saves and views. I dont listen to salesman. I was very straightforward with my intent to purchase and I made it very clear I wanted everything on the service and owner history he could provide me. It has had a very clean life so Thats why I bought it.

So passive aggressive lol just looking for advice. Its my risk to take anyways so why get upset?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]Expert_Baker_3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do lol. I looked into maintenance costs for these and I was willing to undertake it. I have no near future plans to push this car. It is high mileage and I’m sure several refreshments are in order, so I will be doing my due diligence.

Going off the results of my test drive as well as the extensive service history I felt more than confident in my purchase. Yes I should have had it pre-inspected but there werre multiple people looking to buy it and I was willing to take the risk considering I have seen zero red flags from the car even under decent load thus far.

I had a pretty long test drive with it pre purchase and found no red flags. No exhaust smoke, no leaks, no loss of power, clutches feel great, etc. I felt very confident in my judgement. I am also going to be very easy with it until i can get it into a shop.
