        That white one was on here for sale a few months back. I remember trying to buy his Compo's off him but apparently the line up was huge for those haha

          That car had been in an accident and had been straightened with other issues that kept it from selling for a while. None of them have been disclosed.



          It seems like swapped cars always go through owners, no?

            Woah! That's a potential deal breaker. Are you going to let them know? If I were bidding I'd sure as hell want to know that.

              Looks like the builder posted the link back.

                Hmmm...I thumbed through the build thread and didn't see anything about the damage. Someone will have to do some research to find it. I can see that Jackbenny didn't want to directly call it out.

                  From his build thread... honestly it doesn’t looks that bad and there was some more bondo on the rear valence. when you’re buying a car modified that much you will have stuff like this to either accept as been properly repaired or set a price cap. This isn’t some “investment grade” car

                      Ya that looks like no big deal. I would consider fixing that just part of the restoration process. The prior FS ad made it sound like there was more damage but maybe he was just being extra cautious.

                            Do you feel $14,300 is high, low or just right for this 325is?

                              You link was broken BTW: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-BMW-3-...torefresh=true

                              I personally think that if you offered 14.3K you'd own the car, but I also think it's too high and that the car should be more in 10K range, even if that seems like a crazy price in the abstract.
