$45,000 is it worth it?

[yanal]

So much hate !! And sure as hell it deserves an M3 badge !

[bramon]

yeah not only is it not even a m3, but 45 thousand ?? can you imagine what you can do with a 1989 e30 , with only 5 thousand into it ? if you put 10 thousand into it you would be having a twin turbo v12 swap lol .. this is way not worth it .

lolwut

Vazbro spared no expense on that car and did an amazing job. Can't believe he is selling it. He just finished getting it built! Anyway, he's relisted the car without a buy it now.

Yes he did. When he first came to me for the parts to build this car he was going to go the cheap route and use only what he need to get the look of a M3 convert. After talking with him and our bodyshop he decided to do all the body work as if it rolled of the assembly line. For those that have not seen the car up close you will never understand how well it is put together. I was lucky to have seen this project from the start to finish and go for a ride in it. He has even offered to let me drive it on numerous occasions and I have had to respectfully decline, it would make me want to build one. You cant blame him for his asking price, if someone is willing to pay it then good for him and all of those that say they could build one for cheaper. Alot of people have critized his build and his decsion of power plant, but for living in the state of California your options are limited and putting a s14 in a replica car that as one had already stated in a convert is a waste. Vazbro built a convert that could be driven and had the feel and look of a new car and did a good job of it. The little things that needed to be addressed, are things we all run into after building a project and just need to be finished, Unfortune for Vazbro he hasn't had time to finish them. I wished I had the money to buy his car because I know the real cost of building it and it was not cheap.

A car is worth different amount in different people's eyes.
This car was clean as funk when I used to see it in person, maybe not $45k though.
Maybe around $20-25k.

[lolcantturn]

This was exactly what I was thinking from scrolling to the top towards the bottom:

"Bidding has ended at $45k" - Wow lucky seller and buyer!
"Note this is not like those other M3 Vert replicas" - Here we go again..
"Real M3 panels" - Okay
"US S50" - LOL. not only is it not an S14, it's not even an S52, it's an S50, and a US one at that.
"Clarion head unit" - All that work to get and they put in an ugly aftermarket HU.

All and all, this is a $25K Vehicle at the most. really can't believe it got this much. You're paying for a replica..that's not even a good replica?

why is an m3 cabrio a pointless joke?

A buddy of mine is a car collector and he has 2 geniune E30 M3 'verts. I've spent some time with them. I first thought they were cool, but it soon became obvious that the car has no real purpose.

The whole point of the E30 M3 is that it's a Grp.A homologation special. It's the king of the momentum cars with an amazing chassis. Cut the top off and it's just another '80s cabrio with a floppy chassis and loose handling. Why do that to an M3? If you want an E30 cabrio, there's nothing wrong with an M-Tech II.

BTW, like you, I also love cabrios. My daily driver is an '88 560SL. Some cars are made for cruising, and some are made for the track. No point in taking a track star and trying to turn it into a cruiser.

Import one for way less.

Exactly. If you're dying for an E30 M3 'vert, you can buy a REAL one for less money. This looks like a nice, clean car (with a number of issues BTW) but it'll always be a replica. And it's a replica that doesn't even have the correct engine.

What's the logic in paying more for a replica than the real deal?

the purchaser is spending $45k to drive the hell out of something?

Especially a vert..

[brainspo0n]

the purchaser of this vehicle will be someone with a large bank account who doesn't have the time or skills to build this but wants something that can be driven the hell out of without worrying about destroying a rare piece of history.
