Flyboy...

You can say what you want to, without being such a fucktard about it. You really aren't funny and even if what you say has some merit, you make YOURSELF look like a dickhead using the verbiage you choose to use.

No matter who is right or wrong on this deal, everyone was being fairly respectful until you opened your immature, idiot mouth. No reason for name calling and being insulting, unless you're just some punk trying to be all bad ass on a forum.....for your own childish ego trip.

Tell you what...

I'm in Dallas. You want to come up HERE and say shit to me... bring it. You'll go home in a cast.

In all honesty...DMSBimmer has probably pushed his point a little far, but there is no need for the childish, name calling and chest thumping I see in this forum, often. You boys need to grow up and realize not everyone on this forum appreciates your shit.

[DMSBimmer]

Txtorquemade... thank you. Glad to see another sign of intelligent life on this forum.

And with that said, (and because I assume no one really knows why this car hasn't sold in the past year it's been for sale if it's such a great deal)... I'm done debating a moot point.

Thanks to the few of you who made this thread worth reading (WildRide, CactusJack, and maybe a couple others).

I don't recall anyone stating it was a good deal, only that it was priced accordingly. In light of the PPI I could see someone offering less money but $1k??? I guess what set me off is your tone in your initial post. It was disrespectful and you were accusing the seller of being shady having never met him nor having seen the car in person. Strictly going off a 3rd party opinion.

It reminded me of a time when I was selling some 17" style 5's for $600 and this buyer shows up, didn't like what he saw despite me sending many pics to him and describing that the wheels had some rash and the clear was peeling from the lips but that it would be a non issue if he polished them. When he showed up he went off about me being dishonest, how he drove a long way to get here (not the sellers problem how far you are from him) and how I wasted his time. I basically looked at him in disbelief and said GTFO (in a respectful way). I ended up polishing the lips, using and selling them for $1000. Imagine if that guy then shit on my FS thread saying how dishonest I was?

I could have sold them for $600 if I was willing to wait long enough. I probably would have taken a hit on the price if he was cool about it. The price was not out of line but I realized that most people (particularly people who aren't DIY'ers) like things already done for them. People like shiny things. So perhaps what the seller needs to do is detail the car, fix a few things to get his price or do nothing and take a hit on the price. Still one thing is for certain....$1K is insulting. I don't give a shit if La Jolla doesn't care for M technics. There are also people that don't care for M3's, but that doesn't mean they are $5K cars or whatever lowball number they think it's worth. That just doesn't reflect the market. That's why this thread is blowing up the way it is.

Torquemade, whatever toolio.

I admit. In my last post, I got carried away. However, this asshole is calling the op dishonest and calling his car a piece of shit when he has never personally met the man nor has been within 1500 miles of the car. In whose eyes is that possibly acceptable? This entire rant is solely based on the opinion of some apparently anal shop. This is the workings of a little teeny man who spent his years in school with his head in the toilet.That can be looked at in no other way as anything other than a complete dick move. The noob needs to know that you can't do this here.

Anyway pretty soon a moderator is going to come through here and clean all this shit out of this thread.

[Badgtho]

I sincerely hope someone will do me the favor of answering a question I've already posed a couple of times...

If this car is such a hot deal... WHY HASN'T ANYONE BOUGHT IT YET?

If you choose to defend a dishonest seller simply because they have "clout" on this forum, you are a fool or a cheat. If you've seen the car in person and think it to be just fine... have you driven and/or performed a PPI on said vehicle?

I have owned a 1987 535is (among several other vehicles) for nearly ten years, and am sufficiently familiar with E30s. My budget is not fixed at $4-5k by any means. It is entirely dependent upon the specific car in question. If a car is worth $4-5k, and it fits my criteria, I will buy it. If meeting my criteria requires $8k, then sobeit.

My problem is the fact that the seller misrepresented the automobile to fit my criteria. It just so happens the car is being sold at a price of $4.5k. Perhaps what you think to be "acceptable" is entirely unacceptable to someone with the means to address it. I have attended classic car shows, auto auctions, car club meetings, etc. since I was very young. What is "ratty" to one person may be "concours" to another. My tastes and attention to detail are more refined, so I respect the opinions of those with similar thoughts (Chris at LJI). When a seller presents a car to me as being in "excellent condition", I expect it to at least meet my definition of "okay". This car is not even near "okay" according to Chris.

The auto sales transaction breaks down when someone (typically the seller) lies. Private party auto sales rely upon honesty to make any sense for both parties. If the seller wants a better price for his/her car than he would get trading in to a dealer, he/she should sell honestly to a private party. If the buyer wants a better deal than at a dealer, he or she must find a vehicle that meets their needs from a private seller. The only way to mitigate dishonesty is a PPI or personal expertise. A PPI from a noted expert tells me this car is not worth $4.5k.

I suggest many of you Google the word "couth" and consider trying it out sometime. Stop assuming "Noobie" next to a username means "pimple-faced 16 year old" (no offense to those of you!). I'm a practicing physician in my 30s with two children. I'll bet most of you making immature insulting/derrogatory comments wouldn't have half of enough balls to say them to my face.

So you are some douche who had his dads old E28?
Hang on. I'm grabbing your trophy. That makes you an expert I guess.
