    Alpine white sedan sighting... 17,000 miles

    I was at Zimmerman Automotive today picking up parts for the convertible and the Coupe. Great place to buy from by the way and nice guy...

    Ok onto what I saw:







    See the odometer?!!!

        The customer just bought it. So freaking envious. I would love to have a white sedan manual.

          Something is off in the front. Hood doesn't line up with fender and the top part of the valence just under the headlights doesn't line up properly with the fender.

            I noticed that too. I think there's been paint work on the hood.

              Look at the cowl.. vent cover area. Are they even present or have they been painted white?

                    It looks clean. But I would guess that odometer is replacement and not true 17K car. We all know the E30 odometers have tendency to fail.

                    Why would you buy this sedan to never drive it?

                      You can easily tell if the car was in an accident, or had body panels replaced, by looking for the Vin number stickers on each fender, door, hood, trunk, bumper, you name it. Recently I've been seeing quite a bit of cars posted on here for sale with missing fender screws, most likely because it wont line up after an accident of some sort.

                        No way thats 17k. The interior is filthy and the panels dont line up.

                            Pics? I have yet to see fake VIN stickers, I'm pretty interested to see how close they are to the real deal
