Hi all,
I'm considering buying a an e46 m3 SMG vert with 102k miles. The car has six previous owners. Carbon black on cinnamon with a black top.
Current owner put a fair bit of work into it, all done by a reputable indie shop. Major repair/replacements include the cooling system as well as a clutch and slave cylinder replacement (new clutch has 100 miles on it).
There are a few superficial issues on the exterior (scratches, a minor dent) and the interior could use a bit of love (driver's seat has a tear, center armrest and rear armrests are in some trouble).
Car is in NY and has most likely been exposed to a few winters. I'll be getting a PPI done to check for major issues, but would like to narrow in on the final price (and if I want it) before then.
Owner's ask is way above KBB, I think he wants to be compensated for the work and cash he's invested in the car.
Any pointers?
Best,
Doug
