Hello guys

I saw an add of someone selling a Simca Aronde 9, for $3,500 hand it has only rolled 17000 km since its production 1952.

I have tried googling and all other adds, no matter what country i see them in, contains these cars but atleast double the money!

It was originally sold in a town just a few miles from here, so it is a local car as well!

Pic related.

So basically, would you buy this car and perhaps spend some money on it and then possibly own it/sell it for alot more one day? I need help figuring out if I should buy it or not...

My engine shakes when I press the clutch fast at low speeds, I dont feel anything on the pedal itself but I can hear the engine shaking.

It doesnt happen at high speed and if I press the clutch slowly the shake it's still there but much less noticeable.

Anyone with experience on this?

Pic related, my car.

Bought this as my first vehicle back in March. It's a 2001, and has 170k on it, picked it up for $3200. Clear coat is peeling, but it has no rust and only a couple minor dents. Had to replace the radiator but that's the only extra expense.

Was this a good purchase?

This is the ideal four-wheel-drive vehicle. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

red pill me on the e46 325i /o/. looking to replace my current car with this one.

i've done some preliminary research into the car and know that manuals are absolutely 100% the way to go (due to reliability of automatics being trash). i also know the a/c is prone to failure, as well as some other peripherals, but nothing exceptionally expensive to fix.

https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/6218960925.html

I'm looking specifically at this one and think that it's quite a steal. From what I can wager, the thing'll probably need new brakes and possibly some new belts in the near future. I think this in conjunction with the fact that the bmw badge was stolen off the car is the reason why it's so cheap. I noted the front arm control bushing has been replaced which is a known problem for this model. I know to stay away if it hasn't been properly maintained. I plan on doing basic maintenance myself to save costs.

Specific car aside, what's the deal with the e46 in general? Is it a reliable daily? I've read I can expect annual maintenance to be ~$1000. What's insurance like on the 4 door? Affordable on a shitty retail job?

How accurate are KBB estimates for used cars?

Do they overestimate or underestimate?
Should I push a dealer for the KBB value?

Worst manufacturer defect cover up?

for example: GM ignition switch recall.

They knew it was a problem but were too cheap to deal with it.
