^Hah! I'm hoping that's sarcasm.

Even if not a real Hartge, I don't know enough about them to tell, that is easily worth $7000.

I've never seen that turn dial tuning selector except on e28's and I think on 6ers. That's why I thought it might be real. But those wheels, interior, euro bumpers, etc are very nice high dollar items to have on the car. I'm not sure I trust the 105k mileage though.

Unless it comes with a bale of pot in the trunk, that price has been set by an insane person. Nice wheels, tho.

[e30m3s54turbo]

by the way the ad is written, i can pretty much guarantee it isn't a real hartge. i will say that it is a nice car though. it is probably worth pretty close to the asking price. i don't think it will be a very easy sale for its owner at that amount but i think it will eventually sell.

i'm waiting for bastianshaw to get on here and say its only worth 2 grand. 8)

Hello Flyboyx.


It not a Hartge. It has only 4 Hartge parts on euro 320i.
Hartge built H23 170hp, H26 193hp and H27 205hp. All those were based off 323i. Hartge would not use 320i because m20 2.0 and drums in the rear.
A couple of years ago I bought a 85 euro 320i for $2,000.

Hartge price on parts

1 Hartge wheels $1,000-$1,600
2. Hartge air dam (IF) it is made of urethane plastic. Then it is real Hartge air dam. $300-$500
3. Hartge side skirts $300-$450
4 Hartge decals $100-$200

The strut bar is Racind Dynamics!!!!

Thank you everyone for the replies. I also did some research myself and agree that it's priced too high. Don't want to waist his time and low ball it so I did not look at it.

I looked at a 385,000 mile 325es the other day. the owner was asking 1500, he thought it was a great deal! he even came down to 14, then 1300 for me! it needed a new tranny (input shaft bearing WHINED), the brakes were the squishiest ever, and the engine had mold growing on it. the guy was crazy... but it gets better.

he said his son just bought a 1987 m3 and that he thinks his 325es looks so much better than the m3, the m3 has the "flare things" on the fenders that ruin the "beautiful body lines of the car". I didnt buy it.

I am convinced when folks put cars up for sale on CL, they lose most sanity and honesty. I experienced some painfully dishonest and stupid folks my recent search.

[TeXJ]

The guy I bought my e30 from, craigslist, never told me that the car was salvaged. He let me sign the old title. So when I went to register the car, it came back as a salvaged car...

He was moving out of town, and was gone a few days after I had bought the car. The stupid thing is that he left paper work in the car where he had applied to another apartment complex and it had his social, full name, and everything. Good thing I'm an honest person and just chalked it up to a learning experience.

what part of town did you pick this up from? Lol

My car was salvaged, but I didn't really see it as that big of a deal, because it wasn't really that noticeable, but the further I looked into it I noticed that the interior was a soup sandwich (wrong seats, seat studs smashed down, etc) , almost every bushings and mount was broken or about to break, the syncros for 2nd and 3rd were blown, and every time you hit a bump, you'd be bouncing off the bumpstops.

1964 Renault Caravelle Convertible Price Reduced!! - $5950 (Magnolia)


1964 Renault Caravelle Convertible $6900 REDUCED to $5950!!!!!!

show contact info Ted. Call or Text

Rare 1964 Renault Caravelle Convertible with the Hard Top. Four passenger, four cylinder, manual transmission, four wheel disk brakes, four wheel independent suspension.

This car was owned by one family from the 1960's - 2012. It was owned by the Grandmother who lived in France. When she passed away in the 1980s, it was shipped over and owned by the Grandson until I bought it in 2012. It still sports the European number plate. I have a file of French maintenance receipts. I bought it non running three years ago and have rebuilt the mechanicals to a smooth running condition.

There is a dent in the front left fender. Surface rust on the bumpers and in a few other areas, but only surface rust. The undercarriage looks clean. It is a 51 year old car so there are a lot of little needs, most of them cosmetic.

This car has been a fun ride! It is such a conversation starter because no one has ever seen a Caravelle before! I love this car and my family and I have named it Clouseau. You can learn more about this car at http://www.renaultcaravelle.com/index.html. Finding parts is surprisingly NOT a problem. Estimate car value at http://www.collectorcarmarket.com/co...lle-value.html or every now and then you might see one on eBay.

^wow that's a lot of coin. I must be out of touch on prices but $5500 for the BBS and $7000 for upholstery of the seats seems both on the high side to me.

[TimeMachinE30]

8,000 in wheels but removing them and the startecs he will knock off 2,500. His valuation and arithmetic are not adding up.
