Why does the GTO look wierd? Body kit?

Having shopped around for e92 M3s and Monaro VXRs recently, good M3s can't be had for less than £22-23k with decent mileage and/or spec. As for the VXR (if you can ever find one) a half decent one with decent miles will easily fetch upwards of £10k. Most reach around £12k for the desirable VXR model shown in this video (400hp). For £8k you'll get an early '05 CV8 Monaro with the less powerful unsupercharged LS1 V8 (320hp roughly) and dated looks only a mother could love. I opted for the cheaper but arguably better to drive Nissan 350z, with excellent performance, great looks (albeit dated), solid engineering and prices from as little as £4000 for the 276bhp model, I think it's one of the best second hand sports cars to date. For £8000 you could afford the revised HR model (308hp) with decent mileage. For that much you'll get the GT pack which includes full racing brembo brakes, forged rays alloy wheels, Bose surround sound, heated electric leather seats, air con, sat nav, cruise and loads of other toys. I'm pretty shocked he didn't include it as its a fifth gear favourite.

HSV mate

was looking at buying an E92 M3 coupe, but then I started reading about its S65 engine having premature engine failure from connecting rod bearing wear and inadequate side clearances, etc. it's apparently a design flaw and some lucky people have been able to get BMW to replace their engines out of warranty, just on goodwill, which usually is done when the company realises there is a problem but doesn't want to issue an uber expensive recall or draw too much attention to a widespread problem. They realise it is cheaper to just replace the engines that fail and keep the affected client quiet than have this blow up in the media and damage their reputation, etc.

Just give me that corrado.

What about an Astra Van? Fastest vehicle on British roads!

Where i live, 20,000 quid to import the M3 and another 18,000 on duty. Even at that age. :(

So disappointing that around the world the Holden product got good reviews, drivability and value for money it was a hit yet somehow General Motors found a way of not using the strengths of Holden product to their advantage instead did a great job of ruining the brand in Australia and then closing it for good. Bloody disgrace what General Motors did with Holden

I live near the factory and they even removed the Holden symbol, which could be seen 5km away, leaving a dirty mark in it's shape. But the rest of the place looks the same. Sad day when that sign came down, last shovel of dirt on Holdens grave. Bastards.

I would get myself a clean Integra type R, cheap to fix, and it is already a collectible

+anon1561 They don't cost anything like that to run. They're based on well-proven Ford mechanicals (e.g. the base DB9 V12 is essentially two Mondeo ST220 V6s) and are generally very reliable. Far more so than a 20k Porsche, anyway!

It’s still a £100000 motor, maybe only £20000 to buy but when something goes wrong , gulp. Take out a loan to pay for it.

@@kristianspencer1978 no. As pointed out previously, the engine is closely related to the Ford Mondeo V6 and uses most of the same componentry. The gearboxes, diffs, suspension and electrics are nothing exotic either.

+A State Of Bikes Not in Mexico, I saw one yesterday: 2010 M3 with only 13K miles for about 33,000 USD. Very good value and better than the new M3/M4 in my opinion, which cost about twice as that.

diego750il Los dos hablamos español jajaja lo que pasa es que acá hay impuesto a los "autos de alta gama" y en general lo importado sale caro, una medida de nuestro gobierno para no perder tantos dolares al exterior.

Ah, ya entiendo jaja. Aquí también son caros pero se deprecian rápidamente aunque tengan poco kilometraje. Me puse a revisar y los M3 E46 andan por los 20-25 mil dolares con menos de 50mil km. Lamento que por allá sean tan caros. Saludos!

if anyone buys a monaro and needs parts still plenty cheap here in aust.
