There's no reason be mad
When I sell used parts I typically look at what others are selling for and lower the price so my things move quicker
I'd say 30% below retail is a good starting point to entice would be buyers
So my $1000 new carbon fiber lip would be lucky to fetch $700 on the used...
Pilot sport tires are around $1k new online
Wheels are about $1550 new per the 2023 wheel thread
Figure $150 for tpms on tirerack
All in you're about $2700 for NEW
That's why people are saying reconsider
I wouldn't call it next but here's the story
My buddy and I were in talks with an importer for JDM cars back in 2017, knowing that the vehicle won't be able to be imported until 2024
It is a late 1999 production Lancer Evolution VI
We worked on a deal to still aquire it and put in storage until...
50,500 WITH tax? That's a steal then
I must have missed that
That's what $10k less than new
There are 2.0s in the bay area with dealers asking more that that
You're already at basically $51k for a used non premium
Why not just spend the 5-6k more more a NEW MY23 premium?
It's not like a budget of $30k moving up to $36k
Peace of mind knowing it's brand new
The FE is Fuel Economy
BMW has progressively moved onto thinner weight oils for reduced fuel consumption
When you see "FE" in a BMW spec, meaning Fuel Economy, that indicates the HTHS is in the dexos1-GF5-SN range for xw20 or xw30 oils, "2.6 to 3.1 usually. LL-01 & LL-04 have HTHS greater than 3.4
FYI
LiqiMoly is no longer BMW LL01 certified
There's a VERY long oil thread on Bimmerpost and it performed about as bad as an oil could on a UOA report
A more common oil to find is Castrol Edge Euro formula 5W-30 that is BMW LL01 and Porsche A40/C40 (VW 511 00) certified
Use BMW coolant
Add some redline water wetter to the expansion tank of both the radiator and heat exchanger for the intercooler
Will help a bit in the summer time
