Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[Il Duce]

Saw this, and read it had a "$50k refreshment". Like wtf. You could buy 2-3 pristine E30s for that amount, or an M3. Someone had more money than brains.

I'm showing this listing to my wife to justify how little in comparison I spend on my own 318

I can't believe someone actually bid that up $4,100. they are not going to have a good time with that one.

Someone is spending $5k+ on a rustbucket auto by the time they pay the fees and shipping. Unless the new owner is driving it home. This thread loves to remind us of the dire state of the used car market.

Could always just slather it in POR15 and ignore it...

Definitely dialing back the opening bid to $325.00

I guess we'll see... would be interesting to see if the one and done dumb bid wins it... its BaT and No Reserve so Im sure theres someone else who will toss a +1 bid on the last day before doing their due diligence... kinda like I did but with less time to back out haha

It drives me nuts how few and far between forthcoming sellers are.

That car for example, dude conveniently takes a photo just out of frame of all the driver rear wheel arch rust in pic 42 and there's no other direct photo or mention of it. He obviously knows it's there, you'd see it every time you get into the car.
