      M Coupe Buyers Guide is Now on Facebook

      December 18th, 2010 Comments off


      It’s kind of an experiment, but I decided to create a Facebook page for M Coupe Buyers Guide. It can be another way for people to leave comments, point out new listings, etc.; a better way for people to keep up with my posts if they don’t know how to use RSS; and an alternative means of socializing with the M Coupe community. I plan on posting a link to each of my new articles, any exciting new listings, and my favorite photos.

      You can also now “Like” the articles as well as any of the sales listings. If you want to help promote your sale, help a buddy out, or just show your appreciation for a nice coupe, share the listing with your Facebook friends.

      Let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions for me.

      Salvage Title Labels

      December 15th, 2010 2 comments

      After collecting sales data for 6 months, I decided I need to label those coupes that I know are salvage titled as such. This is not only to assist shoppers in purchasing the right car, but I think it will help to more effectively represent the market as a whole. While rebuilt from salvage coupes can come out as good as new, their values will never hold as well as clean title vehicles. As such, they have skewed some of the sales figures and average price statistics. From now on, salvage titled coupes will no longer be included in the average price calculations, price trends charts, or price vs. mileage charts. Please note: coupes without the salvage title label are not necessarily clean titled. I just have not heard any different.
