They are not here because OP has not seen the car yet.

I'd be impressed if OP merely posts pics

I can understand your hesitation, way too many people don't come through with pics in threads like these. As of right now, I'm going to view the car tomorrow. Just waiting for the owner to confirm timing.

I'll be sure to take lots of pics and update tomorrow after/if I see the car.

Finally got to view the car this morning. We didn't start it because it didn't have a battery installed, and we had limited time to look at the car. Long story short, they don't know if they want to sell it yet or not, I'm doing my best to convince them to sell it to me. Continually working on it. Pics below.

A few corrections from the original post info:
• 73,000km not 60,000km
• Black interior not tan

sounds like the've been doing some homework and now realize the value of the car and its rising value and are now hesitant to sell so quickly.......hopefully not and you can still get a killer deal .

looks very nice so far

[Powling]

They stated from the beginning that they weren't sure if they wanted to sell or not yet, but would entertain offers and a viewing to look it over.

Nice. That is a very valuable car in today's market.

Sorry but I gotta say this "Epic Fail". Either close the deal or pass it on to someone and make a few dollars for referral.

I made an offer, waiting for them to agree to selling it. How is that "epic fail"?

[BlackbirdM3]

I hope they accept your offer. That is a great looking car that will clean up very nicely with not a lot of effort. 74K km single owner cars are rare.

First I hope you get the car. Not hating.

No way would I have walked away without a yes or no. Not a maybe. Your giving them time to research and find buyers. If they even find out how to get intouch with Enthusiast, this deal is done.

No one entertains offers without having a price that they want for the car.

Entertain me means make me say yes.

Is this husband and wife? Roughly what age?

Using Google.ca the first few listings have prices attached.

Good luck in acquiring the car! She looks extremely well kept.

No stress, each situation is different. They know where I stand and I know where they stand and we've made an agreement that if anyone else comes along and makes an offer then I have the chance to match or better it before its sold to someone else.

If they don't want to sell then they don't have to, but when the time comes they know I will be there with an offer. You don't have to force anyone to sell something they love just because you want it.

This could yet be the best e30 m3 "Barn Find" of 2015. Just stay in contact with the owner like glue, but don't be too pushy/aggressive that could become annoying. This one owner with low mile car is worth at least $50k today...easily. I would not be surprised if EAG had seen this thread and are playing detective already.

Good luck and I hope you will get it.

I'm already sensing this is happening by trying to stay in contact often. I'm sure there are people trying to track this car down too. I'm confident in what I've done and where the deal is going.
