Seller Description

I bought this M coupe in September 2007 in Reno, NV. It was originally from San Francisco, I still have the factory window sticker and owner's manual. Thus it has lived a rust free life and is completely dry underneath! It also has a CLEAR title.

This car comes standard with heated leather power seats, keyless entry with alarm, Harman-Kardon sound system, air conditioning, one-touch windows, power locks and heated mirrors, cruise control, ASC, and front & side air bags.

Options on the vehicle include an in-dash CD player, 6-disc in the rear, cupholders and a moonroof. There were only 2,870 M coupe's brought to the US from 1999-2002 so they are very rare!

It currently has ~93k miles on it.

My Comments

Sold 11/6/11 - Sale pending

10/22/11 Update - Price reduced to $19,900 from $20,300

10/10/11 Update - Price reduced to $20,300 from $20,900

9/13/11 Update - Relisted at $20,900 with very nice updated photos and description. The suspension and BBS RKII wheels improve the appearance substantially. It looks like it's in great shape for the mileage.

7/25/11 Update - Price reduced to $20,900 from $23,000 which I think is pretty fair considering all the recent maintenance.

The list of maintenance and modifications over the last 2 years and 20,000 miles is impressive. It seems to be very well sorted. It looks like it's in very good aesthetic condition inside and out as well. Even the driver seat looks very nice. The price is probably a little high for the mileage, but the color combination is great and he's taken care of all maintenance.
