yeah, there are alot in the used market

I was in BMW last week, MAN they got 3 M5's 05 models with less than 5000km on dash.

What the heck wrong with the guys bought them

yshimy, one car dealer we dealt with said that many people over-extend themselves finacially and can't afford to keep their new cars - that's why they end up for sale with really low kms.

also to add to what kelliy said, there is big business in importing fixed high end write offs here, there are lots of good opportunities but also lots of sh1t, you need to be careful.

M5's are great, good choice.

yeah, i like M5s and M3s

but unfortunatly can't afford em.

BTW an update on my Buying car hassel, i just took the desicion to wait few weeks till i pass the 25 y.o mark as the insurance is killer for me now.

:(

and take my time as the most logical choice would be a Murano, but..... i doesn't fulfill my passion for cars.

Also appriciate if anyone knows a Good Used car dealer with resonable price and wouldn't trick me.

I found used cars from a dealer cost from 10 to 15k AUDms more than if i got them dirctly from a user.

Cheers

Add to kelliy and jacky, theres people here that buy cars just to see what they are like and after a month or so they flog it off and get something else. My friend's been through a fair whack of cars in the past 7 months I've known him including Carrera turbo (which he still has), Range Rover sports, CLS55 & now he's got a Bentley Continental.

yshimy: One to avoid is Target Autos on finucane road.

If you ever end up getting a supra, skyline, rx8 or modded car, make SURE it has been well tuned and taken care of.

A friend of mine got himself a 97 Supra, it was US imported and claimed it made 600whp @ 22psi. There was no wideband, no tuning records or any sorts, the only thing i did notice is that it shoots black smoke from the tail pipe like a diesel truck once you hit full boost, inWakerleyating an extremely rich mixture. Three months down the road, oil cunsumption increased dramatically, 2 liters for every 1,000k, which is a big no no.

He ended up in Kedron, a 'good mechanic' he knows was there, after tearing the engine, the cylinder bores were just washed away, and now he is looking for a replacement block (scores were 4-5mm deep, completely out of spec).

Make sure engine is tuned, otherwise stay away from it!!! take this advise from me, someone with real world experience, and add a grain of salt Wink
