Craig, The Car that James Bond drove across the ice, was an Aston Martin, not a BMW Z3.. He did drive a BMW Z8, in The World Is Not Enough. Z8s are selling for $200,000 and higher today. Z3s go for about $9,000.. and a little higher..

[@dougt5357]

I can totally relate to Papa Al's struggle to get himself extricated from the Ferrari! It is tough gettin' old!

[@darknes7800]

18:58 Cadillac XLR, with the Northstar engine. It rolls on a Corvette chassis (rear wheel drive) with a retractable hard top that is cool, but beware. The top uses ONE OFF parts (in fact much of the car is ONE OFF parts) and when they break, you will NOT find replacements. Also, the Northstar engine will start pulling the head bolts out of the block at about 80K-90K miles (due to heat cycling) and require an expensive rebuild with helicoils in the block to secure the bolts. This will become evident when you start getting coolant in the oil. GM also made a supercharged version of the car.

[@cats_ARE_better_than_you]

If you don't sell it now you will probably be married to it by the time next summer rolls around. Take a small hit and let it go. The series was successful. You had some fun. An exotic car isn't fun to own when interest rates are super high and we are sliding into a recession.

[@alexhentschel1080]

the 135i has the n54. the supra has the b58, which comes in the newer 40i models. that blue bmw is a m240i.

[@seandaly7002]

Craig, depending on the year, the 128i, 328i, 528i etc have a 2 liter turbo motor, not a 2.8 liter. The 'N20' version of that motor is known to have issues with the timing chain, timing chain guides, turbo wastegate...fun to drive when they are working, but can be a real money pit.

[@mikevanamburgh4737]

The 128i in the USA has a 3.0 6 cyl. The N20s were in the 228i, then 230i after the 235i became the 240i with the introduction of the B58.

[@LM-mc2lm]

Hey Craig the motor that is in the new supras is the B58 which comes on the 2016ish and newer bmws ending in “40” (240,340,440 etc.) The 135i is either n54 or n55 depending on year. Go for the b58 for a little more $ that engine is fantastic

[@ddutsie]

why would you leave those decals on the windshield, it looks cheap

[@DestoRest]

Glad to find your channel. Seem like a good, honest, straight up dude. Papa Al too! 👍

[@gregcain4678]

The BMW 135i doesn't have the Supra B58 engine but has either the N54 or N55 and neither one of those inline 6 engines are very reliable. Speaking from experience here, by the way.

[@longjohn77]

They don't know what a ferarri is worth at that auction? I'm pretty sure they do, and the number is not 95k😆😅🤣

[@GroundedFlyboy737]

They are other dealers with the same apps and information Craig has - they know.

[@houseoffolly]

I thought the same thing. There is a very limited clientele for a Ferrari. About the only way I would buy one is if I had a deposit from a buyer. @@GroundedFlyboy737

[@beyerch]

Of course he knows... he also has that nifty app he was advertising that would have clearly told him and everyone else. He was hoping to find a sucker.

[@toddsimone7182]

Let's see: Timing belts done in 2019, meaning they're over a year maybe going on 2 years passed due (3 yr interval on 8cyl). It's like saying NEW TIRES in 2010, doesn't mean they're new or still good. Clutch "serviced and tested at 79%", meaning there's less than 20% life on the clutch at best. F1 clutches typically show issues well before 100% wear and the only real way to tell is scan for codes in the NCR and check the wear in millimeters. Most people don't quite understand the clutch wear parameter is exactly as stated (percentage wear), not how much life the clutch has remaining. Also not sure what you mean by "serviced" the clutch. What did they do rebuild the pressure plate? The only thing you can do is bleed it but I wouldn't exactly call that a clutch service. Spider top elastic straps are worn on the headliner causing the canvas to not fold properly. Window regulators are worn out causing large gaps on both windows resulting in a free shower at the car wash. Sucks you overpaid for it but maybe you'll get what you're looking for from an unsuspecting buyer.

[@MissX905]

I hope he doesn't get that kind of price from an unsuspecting buyer yikes! He owns it so he thinks it's worth a lot lol

Craig. Take that car to Barrett-Jackson auction, or to California or Florida and try to sale it. Maybe New York, but winter coming in New York. Take it to where the very rich live, and you stand a better chance of making a profit. But, in my opinion, people with money want a deal, cause they want to make money off an investment. I think the car is worth about $85k so anything over that you may want to consider. Considering you have $400 in it. Lol. Hard to sale toys like that, because people with big money will buy new and not used. That's my 2¢

This 360 only retails for $80k at the most. You are also getting hosed every month you hold from extra depreciation on high-end cars especially going into winter. First price is best price. You should have taken the high bid because your dealership is not good for retailing that type of car.
