^This.
They are one of most hideous things on the road lol.
PS, now my mum says she doesn't want a soarer. -Rips out hair-
Criteria:
Under $15k
Non-depreciating
Must be euro
Must promote a "serious image"
Typical asian mum wanting the world for nothing -_-"
Looked at and turned down:
E39 540i with 160kms, would have been able to get for $12k. Was inspected, came up with $2.5k worst case scenario for repairs = $14.5k for mint 540i.
E36 325i convertible - roof slightly tattered on the INSIDE...
E36 328i convertible - $15-16k. Best E36 bar my M3 that I've been in - $too much
E36 328i convertible - able to get for $12k. Was inspected, came up with $3-4k repairs. Good pass on this. Engine wasn't too great.
V8 Soarer X1 - able to get for 7k. Didn't inspect, clunked hard into drive. Good pass.
V8 Soarer X2 - Perfect. Smooth, quiet and much faster than other V8. 170kms = can't buy. =/ $9k
TT Soarer - Piece of shit rofl. 5 Min drive = steam coming from under bonnet. Wanted $12k lol.
E230 W210 - 110kms, full books. $9k, cheap! A/C broken, needs new diff.. wtf
God damnit, I give up.
