    This is a little extreme, and I think it's a bit tongue in cheek.

    You've sold the car and got the money you wanted so try to get over it. They were a bit picky with me when I was considering listing my car and we didn't agree on the reserve so it never got listed.

    They have in fact changed but you can still find much better deals from better sources compared to BHCC. That's why they've never listed a car on BaT and are all over ebay

      I know. I have gotten over it, and pretty much just give "eh, whatever.." response. But since someone brought up Bronzit - I figured I'd save them the trouble.

      Yeah - no one is as scummy as BHCC.

      Except maybe that guy trying to sell the wrecked S52 swap.

        I'll probably jinx us but this might be the longest we've gone without an E30 on the block

            I think a few have sold cars. I can think of one person who bought one too. I think CarsonE30 (not 100% sure on the screen name) has done both

              Clean tastefully modified 318is that was on Arizona Craigslist for a while at $8800 is now on BaT. They sure do love the 4 cylinder cars.

                I was wondering if that one in particular would pop up on BaT

                  One of the newbs here was looking for one and I told him he needs to buy it ASAP. Now it will fetch a lot more than his asking price on Craigslist

                    ^ Yep, that car was a good deal at $8800. Seems kind of strange to say that about a TMU repaint 318is, but that seems to be the high-end market now.

                          "Rust bubbles can also be found on the lower edge of the rear hatch"

                          That's the most important sentence.


                          Some others noted some what may be POR15 touch up on the rockers. With how many of these that are now on the market, this one is already sitting at the edge of overpriced.
