For a regular 2002 without any historical significance?...I am very surprised. That's about double what I would have expected but I'm not hip to the 02 market. The ad and the workmanship is very impressive though. What did the Blue Clarion 2002 sell for?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Hence my referencing the Porsche R-Gruppe crowd. While there will always be a place for the concourse type cars, a good contingent of buyers want to buy these 02's to have fun driving them (and have deep enough pockets to make it happen). Had a guy a couple weeks ago text me a picture of an 02 hotrod sandwiched between his two original Cobras. His caption read, "Guess which one I enjoy driving the most?! The 02!"
As for the Clarion car, it went for 125k.
------------
The BIG caveat here is that I am now seeing lip-stick-on-a-pig cars popping out of the woodwork now. Usually they are pretty obvious, but some unsuspecting buyers are going to get burned.Last edited by SkiFree; 08-03-2016, 10:45 PM.

Of course, look at how much a new Audi/BMW/Merc..etc is these days. $40K for a new car isn't outlandish (we paid in that area for my wife's A3) but then again, you can finance it..
Regardless, it was a very well done car, and I would love for any of my projects to get to that point of completion.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

Diving board cars will never have some collectibility associated with their being DB cars.
Nobody looks at DBs as some original design that shouldn't be messed with. They are looked at, rightfully, as something that should never have been put on the cars and which should be replaced with Euro bumpers at the earliest opportunity.1991 318is Brillantrot daily driver (slow restoration)

Honestly, it's already going for way too much in my opinion. You've taken away most of what made the M3 an M3. But I know that's always going to be up for debate.
It will be interesting to see where it ends up. The no title is easy to over come (put a lien against it), but the Salvage title is a little harder to over come. Unless you already have a clean vin, and just need a new shell...1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
