I know somebody who had a similar low mileage 406 coupe 3.0 V6 for sale a good few years back ... apparently the car also belonged to Ronan Keating when it was new?.... He still new it was a worthless piece of cr@p and was only looking for 1,000 euro for it ... and this is going back a couple of years

considering there's that blue quatto 3.2 petrol Audi A6 for sale in the other thread for 1500.. he has to be dreaming

I'd give him €500 for that 407 coupe and consider himself lucky. He will never shift that thing, over 15 years old so no insurance company will want to go near you with it, not to mention how mad you'd want to be to tax it..

But its a modern classic?

Handsome car in its day but bless him. Nearly 4k for an ageing tax monster. Yeah 500 would be fair.

I struggled to get €2k for a 406 coupe 6 years ago with the more desirable (with stupid road tax) 2.2 HDi so if he thinks he's getting €4k for one now he'll be waiting

Around €1k is the best he can hope for it and it takes someone who really wants one to fork out €1,800 per year to tax it!

Yes, I know it has to be a typo, but I found it funny all the same

Yeah that 318is used to belong to a good friend of mine that is meticulous with his cars and you probably won't find a cleaner one than that but it won't fetch that money, even with 45k miles though E36's are going for mad money.

Supercharger kit is about €2k alone

Few nice bits on it, Forged M3 Alloys, Porsche Brakes, Coil On Plug Kit, BC Coilovers Recaro Seats etc etc....

It definately was a no expense spared build.

Very niche car though!

2.5k - 3k if it was auto. Lop a grand off for the autos, they just don't make the same money as the manuals.

I'm not sure what kind of value a superhcarger adds, but €7500 for an automatic 1.8 seems mad

8 grand for a 2007 FN2, have to get some of what ever this guy is taken.

It's a bit on the expensive side but not massively so and if the car is as good as it looks in the photos it might be worth going the extra money over less clean examples.

colm_mcm

You will see them for €5k on Irish plates - but it’s hard to gauge condition from ads. I don’t think it’s dreamer territory if the car is in very good nick. You’d see them for £5k Sterling in the uk.

Probably but the vin matches, wouldn't the the old body keep it's old vin?

Donor body would keep its original vin but you would not be able to sell it as m5, these are hoping to get m5 price so what they do is cut vin numbers from both shells and swap and weld. Sometimes the whole firewall gets cut out/drilled out depending on the type of a car as it can be welded back at original welding points and nobody would ever be able to notice it. But professionals can do it by cutting around vin number and blending new number in, no need to mess with entire firewall at all.
The most expensive thing here would be paint job if they cant source donor car in same colour, which might not be possible with cars like m5 as they sometimes come in special colours not available on ordinary 5s. But if they have resources and know how (and they do) they dont work from main stream prices anyway. My point being, yes they can straighten that body but nobody does that with so much damage as there is no economic viability, "other methods" are far cheaper and quicker, especially if chassis/rails get twisted.

That reminds me of something Polan sent me a couple of weeks ago from some Polish lad that if he didn't do some checks would have been 35k out of pocket.
It's all in Polish and I don't understand much of it but the pictures speak for themselves:

Amazing really what people can turn a pile of scrap into.
Must have cost a fortune being perfectly honest.
