M3 LR used purchase
Discussion
So had a test drive yesterday on a 21 plate LR.
They made me a "today only" offer on my car which seemed ok tbh - a touch over WBAC, so I put a deposit down and we were doing the paperwork when they decided to lower their offer on mine by 500. Bit cheeky.
So I didn't go through with it. Typical car supermarket doing car supermarket things IMO.
Will probably try motorway on mine today (think they run their sales on a Fri?).
As for the LR. Seemed decent, was like new inside Just under 30k on the clock. Steering wheel was fine. They did have others in stock which looked very tatty though. I have a feeling your average co car Tesla owner is a "it gets washed when it rains" type.
That said the one I was looking at had front PPF, so I am not sure if thats factory but I doubt it?
Drive was smooth and quiet. I like the low dash. Seats were not that supportive but its an A to B car I guess.
Overall its a lot of car for the money. If they do drop another 30% in March then I think they are probably bargain of the century at that price.

Any known issues with steering wheels? I am starting to look more closely now I have returned from my travels and I have noticed quite a few are showing what looks like issues with the leather (faux I assume) on the wheel.
Not as far as I know.... I'm 45,000 miles into my 3LR and the wheel looks like new.gotoPzero said:

High on miles. HPI reckon it's £20k private sales when adjusted for 105k.

I would be surprised if that sells for above £20k..

It'll save you around £7k just on petrol in that time compared to a normal car, let alone one with this type of acceleration.
Looking for advice ..... my car has sold... so now I really need to get my skates on to find a M3.
I am still torn between the SR+ and LR.
The SR+
I can get a 2022 with sub 20k miles.
Pros
LFP so in theory battery will be more durable
A year newer than LR
Around 2 years warranty left
Cons
Slower
No AWD
Not as much ultimate range
Not got the premium sound system
LFP does not like the cold
Will I regret a SR+? I think ultimate range is not an issue for me.
But performance.... its a while since I have had a "slow" car.
I do drive NSL roads quite a bit in the early hours and do enjoy a bit of "progress".
The other issue is I drive these roads in all weathers and I have had AWD for years for this reason.
I am likely to keep this for at least 4-5 years I would have thought.
Head says LFP, heart says LR?

I'd always personally push myself to get the 'better' model which would be the LR (range, performance and 4WD).
As I mentioned earlier, I still think prices will depress heading towards Q2 2024 when the volume of 2021 LR lease models hit the market (doesn't really help you now though)
Get the better model and you won't sit there thinking 'what if'. Many times in the past I've bought a lesser version of something to only sell it, go back and buy the better version (not always cars but you get my drift)..

Do you think they’ll keep dropping that much? I’m looking at LRs at the moment and there are more and more coming on each day.spaceship said:

2020=25k
2021=27k
2022=28k
There are virtually no 2022 cars for sale under 30k. I think once a few more come onto the market they might settle around 27k for the next few months.
The 2022 cars did (afaik) have slightly different battery ?
I think that might keep prices up?
