    A full restoration in the USA or Europe will cost mad money if you can't do it yourself.

    Here is an example that I found curious: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-280sel-4-5-9/
    Somebody wanted to restore a Mercedes and has spent more than $100,000.
    It's still not ready. And it's not even the wonderful Pagoda.

    This isn't just a "mint" car. It's a time capsule. How often in life have you wanted to go back in time? That's like the ultimate fantasy, right? Well, with this car you actually can, sort of. Maybe 20 years ago you could have built/restored an e30 with all new parts from BMW, but not any more, and even then it would have cost a fortune. Among numerous other parts, getting a brand new OEM interior just isn't going to happen today. You can try to find matching OE materials but it's just not the same. This car is like your one chance to go back 30 years and experience what a 100% brand new e30 is like. Not restored, new. And, it's not some garden variety version, it's a somewhat rare early model 325ix. Maybe not that exciting but it's still kinda special.

    Mint panels are not available.
