Having an E30 and not driving it is unfathomable to me especially if it's a standard model. They never really enjoyed the car. I'm sure they have other cars but 15k miles in 25 years is insane.

I’m driving myself nuts trying to sort this out. Just wish the damn car had 60k+ miles on it. I’d feel better.. I’ve spoken to the seller and am making arrangements to fly down and see the car Monday morning - if the price doesn’t blow up by tomorrow

Originally posted by djjerme View PostI will say, if you’re going to go all in, that looks like a decent one to do it on. Seller looks to be honest about what they had to do with it due to low miles (exhaust..etc).
I’m not seeing a lot of stuff trying to be hidden, so it very well could set a high point for stock verts.

@javier_h great info thanks.. hope you’re right re $22k, but that would probably result in RNM

well 1 day to go and I'm still high bidder. probably not a good sign that all I can think of is all the stroker and trans rebuild work I could get done for my existing vert, not to mention getting the body prepped for restoration on my IX coupe.

now if it was in the condition of the May 771 car I'd be truly pissed if I were selling the calypso.

that auction works to your favor though if you're trying to eliminate other potential bidders...
as a seller, yes Id be annoyed, as a buyer Id be thrilled.
of course BaT would justify it saying the two cars dont compete against the same buyer, but thats BSSimon
