Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[Zeemz]

Pet peeve: why on this green earth would you post your car on BAT without a lip?

I was typing the same thing. $100-150 makes a world of difference!

Ha, when I got my cirrusblau ‘89 last year the first thing I had to do is order a $50 lower lip from pelican.

Also, why in the world would you show cirrusblau using pictures taken at dusk? Sunlight is what makes the color so pleasant imho.

Nice

I really liked that black m3 swap car. Color paint, authentic m3 body and suspension parts, clean title, working AC, and T-stars alone added the right amount features for my personal taste to make 30k a great bargain even if you needed to tinker with it down the road.

I can't believe the s50 car has peaked at $12k, I really expected above $15k...

Well, there's still a few hours left. I figure it probably won't start going for another couple hours. I've already talked to about five people who plan to bid. Gonna be a nail biter.

[McGyver]

Good luck dude! It's a clean car!

Best part of that 325i listing:

"I didnt bother with rebuilding the front seats because I wanted to keep the car as original as possible"

so ignore the springs, strut bad and Pioneer head unit.

It's more like - "I did the least amount of work possible to get it ready to sell.."

I'm just a lonely man who wanted a little excitement. That kind of thing happens every day. Every-body-does-it!!!!

Good for you Austin, I think that’s a great price for your car. Seriously, $23,750 is all the money in my opinion and we all know what it takes to make an e30 thst nice and clean.

I hope you will share how the post sale correspondence and transaction goes. I know all buyers are different but it would be great to hear some perspective from sellers.

Congrats again, beautiful car!

$23,750. Less than I had hoped, but it was well bought by its new owner, and it met reserve, so that is all that matters. Weird that I will no longer own this car in a few short days.

Agree, well bought by it's new owner.
Wish I had been in a position to buy.
Hopefully it is going to a good home.


Out of curiosity, do you perform swaps professionally?

Do you mind sharing what they wanted the reserve to be?

I agree, the new owner got a killer deal, IMHO. Just spent a long time talking with him and he's a swell guy. Seems like it will be going to a great home.

I do any and all things E30 related - PM me if you have work you need done. I love doing 24v conversions!!!

Now that it's done, $20k. I would have been sad if it had only hit $20k, but we got a bit north of that, so I'm good with it.

The new owner wants the car raised up a bit (understandably so), the window tint removed and possibly the air conditioning installed. I'll be doing all that before he picks it up in a couple weeks.
