Yep the market is indeed dead!
We just got rid of our 98MY 5dr on Wednesday this week having had it for sale for over 2 months, the book value was about £12K we got £8,900
No body wants a decent imp anymore!

Right you lot my new Bmer is sitting at the dealers and I cant have it till the Subaru is sold.
I really cant believe it isnt but there you go.
July 1st 2000.
Alcon brakes,PIAA superwhite headlight bulbs,Alpine single slot and 6 disc changer in boot with Kenwood 6 speaker upgrade,painted side trims,P1 embossed back box mated to Scoobysport downpipe and centre,boost gauge (pillar type),always run on super and for the last 5000 miles Millars,17500 miles ,18" wheels,FSSH,and of course a car with an interesting history, and no its never been on track despite others efforts to do so
Fortunately the whole ownership experience has been enjoyable for the last 10000 miles but didnt start of so good
Only real problem is it needs another new front spoiler under warranty as theyre really only any good for 6000 miles or so and this one`s got no armourfend on it. I just phone the dealer and they kindly fit me a new one. Apart from that its mint.
I want a quick sale so its first nearest and quickest to 24K.
Now remember this car was £33600 new without the 18" wheels and exhaust and boost gauge and stereo so think good and hard.And no snide comments I need to sell it.
It`s a genuine used every day car with two years warranty.
Any serious viewers cal me on my mobile any time well not litteraly any time but you know what I mean: 07889 904990. or works 01480 398017.
I thank you.
Forgot to mention Powerstation bump steer modded aswell.more money

Hi mate
Its none of my business - but, the P1, being such a car as it is - the BMW garage would love to have it sitting on thier forecourt? For sale alongside the 328's M3's etc?
Just amazed that you haven't 'swapped'? I do know that the market is dead at the moment - I am trying to sell a car at the other end of the market to you (for £1300!!) and its absolutely impossible, its not the price - its that there are NO buyers!? weird!
I dont know the history - but you always appeared so much 'for' the P1
Good Luck
Pete

COME ON YOU LOT My BM dealer has no non-franchise cars on his forecourt.....his policy.
I can even arrange finance on this vehicle if required.
It less than a MYo1 with a PPP and you cant compare the two.
Gotta be the bargain of the year. My Subaru dealer said he would forecourt it at £27995 for Christs sake but has a demmo of his own to sell.
Gotta be worth £26 ish in real money so a bargain.
COME ON I`M DESPERATE
..............but thats another matter

Aaron,
I might be interested, I use to have a P1 and took a real bath when I sold it, so I appreciate your quandary.
I have been looking to buy a Scooby as a track car / fun car and have considered a UK 300 with PPP which is £24k at my local dealer.
Can you post photos of your car, exterior and interior.
Thanks
Rod

You do take a time selling your P1. I went to my dealer to have the front touched up and sold mine straight away, leaving the showroon in another car. I did take a hit though. Good luck with yours mate.

Birdy, you to55er , I'll give you £38,500 for that M3 in the garage.
I told you mate you wouldn't be able to sell the P1 that quick.
Call me soon mate so I can show you how well the M3 goes sideways 
Seriously mate hope you sell the P1 soon as I reckon Simon or Justin will be on the phone to me.
Good luck mate

What is the spec on your M3?.
Jonathan[/quote]
If you are buying I know a UK dealer with a Silver/Black coming in December plus Sat/Nav and 19's who offered it to me.
No point as my SMG one is coming in December and two M3's is just greedy

I could be interested ....
Do you have all the original parts - brakes, exhaust, wheels, etc? My insurance company aren't very happy with mods so I would need to put everything back to standard until renewal.

Darren the great thing about the P1 is that all the parts are standard fitment apart from the downpipe and center and I`ve got the originals in my garage. My insurance company are fine. Some of you worry a bit too much.
I sold the standard standard standard brakes from new and also the STI back box sorry STANDARD back box all the rest is stil STANDARD

Well at least I can see five M3 owners on here now.
Maybe we need our own forum creating on here, as I'm yet to find a decent M3 BBS.
I'll have to post my UK300 on here soon.

M3 in Dec
