Well, it's been a fun two years with the C32, but I've decided to sell it on CL to pay off some credit card debt. I would appreciate it if some board members would look over my ad and critique it.

It has a couple issues that I consider to be minor: no seat heaters or cruise control, squealing pulley, 2 burnt out instrument cluster lights. I didn't list these in my ad but would tell any buyer who asked if there was anything wrong with it. I need to update a couple pics in the ad.

Thanks in advance.

Oops. Sorry about that. This one should work now.

Is that real CF on the radio area, or vinyl? FYI to compare- I just bought my 2003 c32, more mods, 53k, 9 out of 10 condition for $13k. GLWS, Mike

I honestly don't know. I can pull up the lower console piece to check. Thanks for the reference point on your car. Last night I stumbled across the classified forum. I'll scan it to see how other C32s were advertised.

I guess my main questions are: 1) is the price right/too high/too low? 2) would you buy the car as is or would you expect one or more of the problems listed to be fixed?

No need to pull the car apart, I was just curious, and that is on my to do list. IMO, its tough to say if the price is fair. When I was looking, I viewed about 6 C32 until I purchased. Think of it this way- many may think the price is a bit high, but that's ok. You just need 1 person to think it is a good deal. Many people have not driven these cars and have no idea of their price/performance value. Bummer you have to sell, my C32 is my favorite car to date, used to be a Bimmer guy.

well I'll trade you steering wheels...if you want!

pointman

I'd drive to VA for that.

jemcgowen

I wasn't aware it was an aftermarket steering wheel. I'd be willing to trade.

C_DirtyTwo

well since I have dibbs, how do you want to trade?

pointman

It definitely isn't the stock wheel. Alcantara top, and a flat bottom (looks like it).

I bought my 02 with 108k mi in boston in 8/10 condition, no mods for $8500

jemcgowen

How are y'all rating the condition of your car? A professional service or just an estimate?

SYZYGY

looks like your fogs are missing?

For comparison, I'm selling mine for 10500. 86K miles, really nice condition, and just had service work performed. I doubt you will get that much... maybe 8-9K is more realistic.

jemcgowen

Thanks for the response. I had to remove the foglights to pass inspection because one had a serious crack. Grammabenz alerted me to a forum member who sells a set for $140. I've been debating whether to order them now or wait for a buyer to ask for them to be put back on.

Right now I'm trying to change the s/c bearing out (stupid thing won't budge even though I've removed the bolt, washer & snap ring). In the process I removed and dropped an idler pulley -- cracking its face, so now I've got to order that as well.

While I'm thinking about repairs, I have 2 LEDs burnt out in the cluster. Notice in the pic that the speedo & tach aren't lit up while the needles & fuel gauge are. A new cluster is ~$700. Does anyone know if this can be repaired for a lot less?

Put the hood back to silver and it will sell. Just My opinion
