Seriously considering putting an offer on this car, what do you think?

[801coppertop]

That car looks pretty sweet! Wouldn't hurt to make an offer!

[StereoInstaller1]

We are getting to the point that a seriously clean plastic car will fetch $6500, that price is excellent. Even that TechII looks nice.

[evandael]

Oooh look at it! Just look at it, will ya?


Buy it for $8000. I think that's a deal. Like everyone else already mentioned.. clean shell, great interior, M30 swap, 5 lug, decent wheels, euro bumpers, great paint.. all adds up to more than $8000, not including the time.

Euro bumpers>plastic bumpers>diving boards.

He states in the ad that he has 22k into it. It sure sucks when you have to sell a project car like that, no way he'll get a fraction of went into it back.

Soooo, does that mean i can sell my car with s50 for the same?

[Pussy30]

Thats a nice car. And no matter what a car is gonna be a deal if its already comming with 5 lug and a swap. Half the money you put into that stuff disapears once its all put together. If this is your dream car your getting a hell of a deal if you do this over building it yourself.

But this isnt everyones dream car, so stop bitching about the price.

And im liking the e46 wheels.

[Teaguer]

That car has some things going for it but yeah that asking price is a bit optimistic at best.
Plus the guy is a total fucktard.
He's also done a early vert m30 car and was asking $16k for it at some point.

I like the Euro bumpers and 5-lugs as much as the next guy although this particular car is a bit conflicting.
By that I mean its a decent early car Euro bumpers but then you have to run big late model high offset wheels.
FTL.

Exactly the reason why I don't wanna bother with converting my clean e30. I'd rather jsut pay someone else for the work they did...much cheaper that way!

I think its worth it. M30 swap, 5 lug, euro bumpers, beautiful interior. Good luck building one for less than 10 grand. Just the complete euro bumpers will run you around a grand, 3-4 grand for the swap it you do most of the work, you do the math for the rest. of course this is my very humble opinion.

Seems about the right price for me. He should get it.

You're dumb. An m30 weighs LESS than an s5x.

I'm not saying that I'd pay $9k for that car but price out the 5 lug and the m30 swap plus a clean shell why don't you, it adds up fast.

You guys are right, plastic bumpers are better. Also, everyone knows they are a money pit.

Whats a money pit? Also that is your opinion. IMO euro bumpers are much cleaner than the late model plastics and body style. Low rear arches are fuckin lame.

[woodisgood]

Depends on the look you are going for, plastic bumpers look the most modern. I don't mind looking classic therefore euro bumpers are my fav.

OP I would try to contact the seller to learn more about the car and make an offer from there, leave ebay out of it if possible. If he knows you are an enthusiast (and maybe you can feel him out as one or not) you could try to strike a deal in person.... .i.e. The phone.

[Adrian_Visser]

um, what??

whether or not we are cheap asses, it is still not worth ~$9k.

And nope, I don't want it, even if it was $3k. imho, late model plastics >> euro bumpers. That's right ladies. Also, and M30 is heavy as shit, and doesn't make the power of say, an S50. And S50 swapped late model E30s that are just as clean go for about that price, and are lighter, better looking, and faster.

It's not about anyone being "cheap".

If you are not cheap, why don't you display your ability to spend by buying my bone stock 318is for $5k? I'd be more than obliged to sell...

[iamsam]

I'm sure you all want this car for what, 3k?

Cheap asses, it has Euro bumpers, 5 lug, and a m30 swap; a majority of you which want but refuse to pay to play because r3v is cheap.

I was thinking more like $1500 shipped, plus a free BJ to go with it.


But I'm open to negotiation.
