Price:

** SALE WITHDRAWN **

I do want to sell but please don't bother with a lowball offers. The price is very fair considering everything that is listed.

If you are a serious buyer I can work on the price if there are certain items which you do not want, like the steering wheel, hard top, etc that can be easily removed from the car.

All the pictures and information you need are in the following two threads.

This is the original build thread:

If someone wants it, they'll buy it. Don't bash his thread.

[MC Hammered]

Don't need to burst my bubble as there isn't one.

Levent (ZM Blue Devil) knows what I paid for the car and if you add up everything else I added to date the price I consider very fair.

All the items you listed in your reply one can find anywhere. I don't think you will find a vert with as many rare parts in one package as this one. That's why I purchased it in the first place.

And if the new owner wants them I have a set of new Mtech-1 cabrio specific sideskirts on order from a BMW dealer to complete the bodykit, just waiting for the passenger side skirt to arrive.

[ZM Blue Devil]

I know every square inch of her. Not saying because we built it.. It's worth every penny. Go through the original build thread, there are so many great parts on this tight, low mileage chasis.

He took a great car and made it even better.

Yes the price is high compared to what you see on r3v, craigs and eBay but don't think for a second it's not worth it. This is the first GUTEN car, I just wish I could have the means to get it back.

The right buyer will find her, when they do hope they take care of her like you did.

Ps. I will send to buyer the bolster to replace. If it comes back to east coast I will replace the bolster free of charge.

PLEASE sell me this interior. :(

[mbonder]

Anyone who says the price is high is clearly just that...HIGH. I've personally been in this car, driven it, and it truly is a low mileage example with about all the rare parts you can stack on a vert. The damn hardtop is blue for christmas sake people...find another one of those.

This car will put about 99.9% of e30 verts to shame, there are only a couple of nice mtech IIs and a few m3 replicas that can even be considered in the same category.

I fully endorse this message, Matt.

1+ for a CLEAN ASS Vert. I think it is worth it 100%

[accident]

what an awesome car.

i am wondering why the seats are on the wrong sides though

[kronus]

A certain mean sounding, low, black saloon caught your eye, eh? ;)

This car is easily worth the asking price. I wish I had the means...

[MC Hammered]

I do have to ask though....snow tires? :crazy:

I have not taken Nina through any snow but it does get cold in the Winter and summer tires don't work so well.

I also left the 16's on a bit too long when I first bought Nina and the salt got on them and ruined the face and barrels so I had to get the wheels refinished, so it is cheaper to run a Winter setup than to refinish the 16s again.

Yeah. Levent is a very evil person sending me some pictures.

There was an entire car with a full Mtech1 kit that barely sole for 3500.

Yes you can get a Mtech1 kit for far less, this includes the rear spoiler and the intense washer system as well the steering wheel.

Now stripping the entire car down and painting it? You are looking at an entire different process and cost.

Buying an Mtech1 for parts is one thing, doing what Levent did on his build to pretty much make this a like new car again is something totally different.

I still read that build thread of his and shake my head in amazement.

[Luis325]

Man i love this car... Just not a fan of the wheels...
Anyways If Levent build it and has all those parts Its worth the money!

CLEAN CAR!

[MC Hammered]

Due to the number of inquiries asking the same question I have edited the original post and price to for those people who are interested in the car but not the wheels.

Thanks for your interest and if you have any questions please PM or email them to me.

verts in cali start at 800.00 and go up to 3,500 mint.

I'll take every mint vert you bring to me for $3500 each.
Beautiful car, MC. Good luck with the sale.

+1...I'd love to see these advertised "mint" cabrios...with LOW mileage, for near $3500...I was just in Cali, and actually looking at e30 verts, and didn't see a single Cabrio that fit the bill with comparable mileage and in comparable condition for anything near $3500.

Oh, wait, here's one....Mint in Cali with LOW miles, only $3500!

Beautiful cabby...GLWS
