Who would pay $700 for an M30B35?

[F34R]

$1,500 was a good offer. To "negotiate the terms and conditions of a transaction" is called bargaining for a reason. It's how selling and buying used cars works. I tried doing business with you in a professional manner and received nothing but snide comments and bullheaded overpricing. The latest being: "Maybe wait till after college when you can afford it?" Wow. No wonder no one likes you here on these forums, let alone in your personal life. Gtfo with your Pos "rat rod." Fyi hot rods are American muscle cars you dip stick. They're rusted because of age, not because someone poured bleach on it to get attention. The quote in your signature, about being on a high horse, is perfect :up:. But Irdk where this inflated self esteem comes from. You think you're special cause you have useless bracing welded throughout your car? You can barely even read something and write a competent response, meanwhile your daddy's doing all the welding for you. And you say I'm the kid. I should have known something was wrong with you from the get go. With a name like F34R and slogan like "sLaughter." :loco: Next time do the world a favor and just drink the bleach instead of ruining a classic BMW. Thanks.

Look what I can do ;) try and delete shit on me? I fucking run your shit.

I DID work with you, you just went so far to piss me off I said 1,500 over the phone then countered to 1,300 in email. 1,500 is making me completely lose money and you're 100% fine with that for some reason? Even after I helped you.

No one welds for me anymore, my father helped me with my build back in the start 6 years ago(he is a master welder and was teaching me). I don't think I am special, I work hard and show respect where it is earned you have failed to earn my respect. I put a rusted hood on my car because my neighbors smashed my old one, the clear coat is fading from cali sun and zero wax I have been prepping for body work and just enjoying my car as is. I receive lots of messages about how helpful my build was to them and thanking me for advice and info on their swaps. I do my part to help others, you got to experience that and come full circle to now getting shit on. You're a special kind of stupid.

Great job OP, going from fine to calling a respected R3ver a liar in 6 posts flat.

[F34R]

OH, just so people can see that I am not saying the mounts are FREE, just depends on how you slice it.

I paid 1,100 and 700, I told you I would do 600.00 for the engine(I can screenshot it for you) plus throw in the mounts=1,800 for the package.

You can slice it how you want:
1,100, 600, 100=1,800
OR
1,100, 700, Free mounts=1,800

I'm making 100.00 I'm sorry you cannot afford that.

And I quote "I'm (key phrase) PRETTY MUCH giving you the mounts for free" That KEY PHRASE 'Pretty much' does not MEAN free, it is an expression. I'm sure you will learn that in time?

[F34R]

Oh, so you are a liar. I figured as much. You told me you got it for $700 twice.
"Engine was running before I bought it for 700.00"
" I have 1,100 into the car 700 into the engine= 1800"

Are you seriously that stupid? I said I was going to sell you the engine for 600.00+ 1,100 and mounts for 1,800 Like...where am I lair? Did you really REALLY think you're getting the mounts for completely free?

I am losing 100.00 on the engine that I PAID 700.00 for by selling it to you for 600.00 with the CAR that I PAID 1,100 for giving you the car for the SAME price I paid for it. I'm MAKING 100.00 off your low balling ass by making the engine mounts for you that I CHARGE 210.00 for. My profit is based off that I am doing the engine mounts for you at half price, my profit will be LOW but I was trying to help you out... WHY was I? Because you wanted a 4 door with an m30 swap and I got happy to help someone out while getting rid of a project because I am moving. DO I HAVE to sell? NOPE I can leave at my Uncle's and swap it myself on weekends when i come back into town.

I never lied, you just suck at reading comprehension...thought you were in college or something?

My original offer was 1,300 for the car, I WORKED with you and did 1,100(what I paid for the car), then you said you needed an m30b35 and I have one I said 1k for the engine+the mounts making the total 2,300 and you came back and said you could not afford it because you owed your dad and in college. For some reason I brought my offer down to help YOU and it is purely because you want to go the same route as I did with a 4 door and m30b35. I was like, I'm moving and he wants everything that I have sitting around I'll make him some mounts and help him out and put 100.00 in my pocket profit and offload some storeage stress. The money would be buying a BMW 75/6 motorcycle and I figured I would rather have a bike than something that I have to swap and work on to make some nice profit.

In short, I offload a bunch of stuff and put cash back in my pocket and get a motorcycle so I can build my Cafe...but you had to piss me off when I was helping you out.

[flyboyx]

wow

[F34R]

Oh, with a trans, I'd be down for sure. But this guy's telling me he bought his automatic M30 for $700. He also says M30 5 speeds go for about $250, and that part I don't doubt. I just couldn't imagine being $950 in on a M30 swap and not have a flywheel, engine mounts, or even the right ECU.

I said 600.00 and it is an m30b35

Total package deal of 1,800 for rust free e30, m30b35(complete accessories) and the mounts to swap it. You came back with 1,500 knowing fully what I have paid for it...

As I said in the email, no deal I'm not interested in selling anymore ;D Who cares what a kid thinks an m30b35 cost? I know what I have is worth and an m30b35 is not worth less than an m50. I'm not selling the lesser m30b34 here. This is not the west coast, if you want a rolling stripped out shell go ship one over for more than my package deal! And you cannot use my shell that I built Polly from in 2009 as reference, that was 6 years ago and the car was missing doors, engine and the entire interior. This is the east coast and my rust free complete e30 is not worth less than 1,500 as it sits, let alone a package deal.

An item is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, maybe you don't think so, but maybe someone else does. If it was either pay $700 for a B35 or $300 for a B34 and it was what was available to me at the time, sure, I'd pay it.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Just sold a m30b35 for 250

[makeshift]

hehe that's what matters

[F34R]

much wow

[Hooffenstein HD]

But $500? Nice work!

It's a pile of shit but it's got an M30 in there.

[makeshift]

Haha oh I've read about Australian prices, I guess I should be happy I'm not trying to buy parts there. But $500? Nice work!

[Hooffenstein HD]

I paid $500 for a 70% complete auto E34 535i yesterday and I'm in upside down land where everything cost 4x as much.
