that’s not Oxford White, Rob. It’s White Sand Metallic Tri-coat - which is most beautiful in the sun.

here’s what happened here - dude really enjoyed this truck a while - tried to trade it, and the dealer offered about what dude spent on that blower and/or the rims and rubberbands - he’s got it listed privately trying to do better. That truck can be bought for 8 grand in cash, and at that price, it’s a nice price.

You have absolutely no idea what these cars are worth. The E46 M3 market is strong.

This car is super fun and can be quite reliable if properly maintained. Blue on blue is dope. Old cars rule (you’re on “Jalopnik” remember?) 150k miles is lightly used for a 17 year-old car, but used enough that the hoses and wiring won’t be completely brittle and turn to dust when you fire it up. Enough mileage that

It’s a lovely blue, you old grump.

there’s a sucker born every minute, Irish...things are ‘worth’ exactly what someone will pay - that’s a 4 grand car in my eyes.  

this is laughably a nope....17 years old? Nope. 150K miles? Nope.  BMW? Nope. Blue? Nope.  $4 grand and I’m being generous here..

this is absolutely ‘sure, why not’ territory.  nearly impossible to go wrong here for almost anyone for any purpose.

should try this test using a Covid mask....it will improve safety too.

I think we are seeing exactly this play out right now.

too much back seat for shenanigans - this is not a car for a high school kid.

I’d daily this one daily and never look back.  possibly the best value proposition on any Craigslist ever.

since when is things being illegal by local ordinance stopped anyone in America from doing what they want these days? I really don’t give a rip about bullshit petty ordinances, and neither do most real folks.  

I work in a -10f blast freezer.  don’t tell me about soft, Private.  Think before you speak.

yeah, that’s window breakin’ time.

ya, but ya know - they’re less troublesome than my Jeeps. Subaru is the only one that’s really zero hassles, but it’s still young and fresh. The only one that was a real pain in the ass that got traded for being a fickle bitch was the MKS and it’s bullshit capacitance touch center stack that never worked, and the LS

or lock your running car when you run into the gas station for smokes in the dead of winter....there are so many situations that make this feature indispensable.

The rise of the smartphone makes this a relic of a solution.

I have 3 Fords and a Lincoln, and have owned several more previously - probably just because of this feature. Absolutely the best feature, and most used feature, ever in the history of my car ownership. Can’t live without it once you have it.  *pro tip* can’t get locked out of your house if you have this and your

This is a pile of hot garbage. Even if it’s fixed, it’s still a crappy XJ, and still not worth $2500. Been there done that, never again. Too much work for something that is so completely disappointing in the end.
