Agree totally with Sin,

Imo it's a DANGEROUS game buying cars for investments, unless money to you is no object.

I've said this on another thread somewhere, it's almost become a shame now because you're not seeing the cars on track we used to see 4-6 yrs ago because of this reason, folks are affraid of pranging them i guess and spares prices too.

Sin

there is only 2 reasons anything doesnt sell

1, its overpriced
2, Its not a nice car



Regards those 30k 3 doors ,,,maybee the owners think the 3 door and the rs500 are the same car ???

Exactly Paul but people see stupid prices and suddenly think theirs is worth the same. Cosworth owners are the worst type of owner, they all believe they own the rarest model ever yet but as soon as another comes for sale they crab it and say they wouldn't pay the asking price.

the original m5 e34 was the last of the fully hand built m5's build quality is second to none and the cars are very capable machines, i know a bloke who had one these then bought a tuned e39 m5 and it run a 12.5 quarter mile very fast but he sold it and bought another e34..

The next thing i know is a debt collection service letter through my door demanding nearly £200 for an unpaid direct debit for the next months payment. When i phoned need 2 insure to say i had sold the car on the 26th last month, as i advised them i did, they started quoting small print, saying no policy can be cancelled over the phone etc and as i hadnt returned the policy still a month later the policy was still running and now the debt was even bigger, all for a £30 installment. so i say right i will send the document first class the next day so another 2 days, they say i will get charged for another 2 days insurance for my car i sold 5 weeks ago. I hope none of you ever have to claim off need 2 insure as im sure they will have some loop hole not to pay. I admit i was in the wrong for not returning the policy as probably stated in the small print but i still swear they did not tell me that the insurance would continue till they had the certificate in their hands.
