Need opinions on this M3

Is this car worth it? http://aventuramotors.com/product_in...roducts_id=242

I want an M3 sedan! Unfortunately I missed the boat last year.

Thanks for your opinions.

It looks clean, low milage as well. I checked its VIN and everything is okay too. You can check it yourself at www.getvin.com

As for price, I am not sure as I am in Canada.

Good Luck

I would love a 6MT but I gotta get something the wife can drive. My current 07 MCS with 6MT, but the M3 is a different beast. Has anyone made the transition from Mini to M?

I think they have a hard time to forget about the SMG designation since even in the new supplementary manual for the M-DCT BMW keeps making reference to the SMG

That's why I got the 6MT. Less confusion.

Battery might need to be replaced.

That's a nice low mile and well equiped car. However, that's not a very popular color for an M car. If that's a color you are looking or, you should have room to negotiate. Start w/ an $48k offer and go from here. Target to pay around $49k-50k.

I'm about to pull the trigger. I think I've talk the dealership down to $50k.

I got a $50K loan from Chase at 2.86% APR. Is that pretty good for a used car loan?

2.86% is a really good rate for a used car. Comparable to new car rates. I say go for it.
