Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 Hi guys, thinking of getting a near to a year old 318i for about $120k, need some advice whether to go for it or wait for the new 3 series to come out ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 how much is a new 318 going for? the new 3 may not be out so soon right? what's your criteria on choosing the 318? maybe that will help others give you advise... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Author Share September 19, 2004 (edited) i think new one is about 140-150k depends.. the new 3 2005/2006 coming out i think, when it does i'm pretty sure the price for the current models will dive down..

Lala81 Hypersonic September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 (edited) was 144k at the start of the yr when they were trying to hunt down C&C merc for the number of sales. dunno if still same price. but shldnt differ too much. i feel the current 3 series is beginning to look dated liao.

Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Author Share September 19, 2004 mileage is not even 10,000km. hasn't gone for its first servicing yet too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 (edited) they are having some event right now right? wow... a 318 costs more than a S40 T5 and close to an Alfa GT? .. you are a beemer fan eh? you are currently driving? depends on how urgent you need a car actually... kinda hard to advise on this when we are not sure how soon the new 3 will arrive. I believe only the spy shots are seen? means not in production yet.. could be a long wait.. as you said, the price will dip when you clear stock... question is when?

Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Author Share September 19, 2004 haha yeh i'm kinda a beemer fan.. the S40 T5 is a beautiful car, if not for the FWD i would consider it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 yup... i like the S40... .. and as you can see, the Alfa GT as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 with your budget, you should ahhhh... the 147... beautiful... i still remember the test-drive in a 2.0 Selespeed.. not particularly a beemer fan, so i would go for a S40 or AR147 or the new AR156 JTS over it for a fresher look on the road ... oh and keep the change for mods Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 errmmm... the new 3 comes with wood trim? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Author Share September 19, 2004 the 147 2.0 was on man!!! i absolutely it! that thing didn't show any sign of fatigue when i stepped on the accelerator loved every moment when i test drove it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Author Share September 19, 2004 thats why i don't like the new 3...lost the fierceness man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 so why not that? ... cheaper than a 1 year old 318 and i think more fun to drive... not that i drove a 318 before ... and the dashboard... ooooo... drool... IMHO, i think it's more of a head turner than the 3... and the 3 is getting more common Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Share September 19, 2004 hopefully they have others... otherwise, they might be attracting a different group of buyers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcz Neutral Newbie September 19, 2004 Author Share September 19, 2004 usually people who get their alfas are unwilling to part with them...like a drug.. esp for the 147, seldom see them around.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
