Same M3 - Different Prices

drdre · 23-02-2007 6:49pm #1

I have noticed this for many jap cars that the same car is being sold by afew different sellers.
This is the same situation for the past few months for the this M3.Its been up for a long time on carzone and has not sold. Theres over 6k difference in price for private sale and dealer.Why is this?

Can someone explain this please.And is the M3 over piced at 57k is that why nobody is buying it?

I presume Liffey Valley Motor Park are selling the M3 for a customer & adding on their commission to the price....a bit silly having it privately advertised also on the same site!

Yeah i understand what you mean but still i think its a bit of a rip-off.thats my own opinion as if i had the money i was buy that m3 but not from a garage as they charge mad money. The worst to rip off customers i think is Maxwell's and Joe duffy.As all the cars you see online are highly priced compared to others int he same year.

You can buy those EU 'IRL' stickers in many motorfactors, and then just stick it over the EU 'D' one.

What's all the fuss about?
A different font and two hyphens aren't really worth a wet crotch, now are they?
They're just number plates ....
