Facelift Post 2006 - E85 / E86 - 3.0L

[MattYorkshire]

Hi all,

I’m looking for a nice E85 or E86.

Must haves:

3 litre engine
Facelift post 2006 car
Full service history
Not black (been there and done it, never again)

Nice to haves:

Auto
Montego blue
Interesting wheels (M wheels, CSL reps, 108s)

If you have something that you think fits the bill and are looking to sell in the new year (not in a huge rush so happy to wait for the right car), please get in touch!

Many thanks, Matthew.

All of that except mine is black and manual :lol:

 

[MattYorkshire]

So close yet so far :lol:

Great choice of colour It may help to add a budget

 

[Zedebee]

Is pre-facelift definitely a no no?

 

[MattYorkshire]

Max budget would be around £9k for a very nice car and yes facelift only.

 

[Z450]

Healthy budget you should find something nice

The N52 engine in the facelifts really is fantastic, so I can understand why you want one. And if it is a Sport model it will have the highly desirable M-Sport seats.

The downside is that someone on here compiled a database of all 3.0Si and M models which suggests only 963 3.0Si Roadsters were registered in the UK, and only 268 were Autos. Both numbers include the various black ones!

So there are far more Coupes, but good ones might stretch your budget as they've always commended higher prices.

Anyway good luck finding the right one.

Almost red with the seats, you hardly notice the black bits

 

[MattYorkshire]

That’s lovely.

My last one looked very similar.

@pvr send me some details please.

Black & Red is definitely worth the effort, and pvr has sorted everything on his car.. must be worth viewing.

Here’s a teaser shot of another black & red 3.0Si I owned a while back now oke:

Was your lowered? Looks to sit just right.

Yes I’ve asked for details of his car as it sounds like a good one.

Yes, a little. I did a suspension refresh with Eibach Springs and standard shocks. So not Silly low

Mine is available but is Ruby black so stunning.

 

[MattYorkshire]

PVR and myself have been chatting

Hi Matt,

Think mine ticks all your boxes other than it being a manual! Have a look and drop me a message if interested.

Cheers!

 

[MattYorkshire]

Thanks for the heads up. It’s a little on the strong side for my budget I’m afraid.

 

[DJBBC]

Appreciate that Matt - I've just reduced it to £10k if that makes a difference for you.
