^i think multiple people have to flag a post for it to actually happen

[sgtskid]

Looks like it still works.

Remember when flagging on Craigslist actually did something? I used to flag the obnoxious dealership spam in the by owner section and it would actually get deleted. I haven't seen a flag result in something being removed in years.

That price is nuts. The YouTube video shows it's pretty fast! Why would you need 2 tachometers? LOL

The car is also nuts. Definitely a lot of money for an e28 but definitely not crazy considering how clean the car is, and it's from a dealer. All that custom fab work. Sure a better matching interior would be nice but not difficult. If you offered 29 would they really turn you down?

This Baur is actually pretty sweet with the alpina wheels, no clue what body kit that is though

100% just like the E30s with the odometer that "just broke" mmm ok

A little bit different , but I personally like the "CLEAN CAR, NO ROT. Just some minor surface rust spots on the rear windows, sunroof, rear windshield, front wipers, doors, door jambs, front fenders, under the headlights, and battery box. " with no pictures of the under-carriage, one picture of the outside from 30 ft away, and two pictures of the interior, both from the drivers door side - one showing some busted ass steering wheel, cracked dash, and no-name shifter with missing boot, and the other one of some strange angle of the back seat.

This. I can't tell you how many times I've read "It's only a $5 part and 10 minutes to fix" in for-sale ads. If it's so cheap and quick, why wouldn't you just fix it?!? Oh. Right. It's not cheap and easy. That's always a huge red flag for me.

Its funny how the Porsche guy can spend over a grand on a bunch of wheels but can't even throw a new starter and battery that he claims will get the car running. Even with his "work schedule" that job should only take about 2-3 hours

The Porsche guy probably bought the car for around $1000 with the wheels with the intentions to do a quick fix and flip it. Got the car and realized it was too much for him to handle and is flipping it to triple his money. I see guys buy project cars and lowball the crap out of people and then turn around and try to resell for more than the car was originally listed for at the time.

I see the same thing. One of those in my area, in slightly worse condition but would start and drive around, was listed for 1,000.
