Was watching this, and I can't see any reason why the car sold for for so little, but then the photos don't show a tremendous amount of information and I couldn't get answers to some basic questions when I messaged the seller. Did anyone else watch this, and wonder why a late model 325is 5speed, with seemingly great exterior/interior and a fresh engine rebuilt by a reputable shop went for $7,000?

I think it might be because it's modified, it has high miles (200k) and it's also got some body damage. It's a clean car, but I don't see it going for more than 10k. But, then again I'm out of the loop.

Maybe the seller was in a bind.
I just picked up an all original (apart from radio) 89 325i sedan, with only a few small problems, with functioning ac, for 1 grand because the seller was in a bind.
All the pieces fell onto the table appropriately, and someone got a deal.My previous build (currently E30-less)

Someone mentioned in the other thread that interaction with the seller was off-putting. He would not post the door jam sticker, the driver seat is a passenger seat, etc.F80 ///M3 CS

"NO PAYPAL, NO CHECKS, ONLY CASH IN PERSON OR BANK TO BANK TRANSFER!"
"I'm a BMW enthusiast and know this car head to toe I know how hard this car is to find and it's a once in a life time deal so understand that
DO NOT WASTE MY TIME AND BID ON MY CAR AND NOT RESPOND WHEN THE PAYMENT IS DUE."
I get that people can be sh*theads and flaky, but it's almost like I have to prove to you I'm worthy enough to bid on your E30.
The no Paypal seems like a put off as well. Cash or Bank Transfer - so if something goes south on the transaction the buyer has only one route.. Sure BAT operates with less protection, but they have been known to personally step in on deals that go south.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

Someone on here was asking about that car, and had a conversation with the seller.
The seller was a complete ass. He wouldn't show paperwork he claimed to have and also, he wouldn't send a pic of the door jam sticker to prove it was a real IS

That's my take. I asked to see the car (I'm local), and his was response was "How much are you bidding?" I asked some other basic questions, with no response. Add that to the whole "Car is like new" schtick and it could just be that no one serious could take him serious.
