                  That's a joke right? There's no way a slick top makes up for an otherwise cosmetic basket case. Seems like it was mechanically sound though.

                    I dont think the price was that far out of line... probably more of a 8-10k car, but throw it on BaT and weird things happen. Good sale and most of the 'issues' can be corrected fairly easily other than paint
                    A clean 318IS sells for a lot more

                        Yeah it's more than I would want to pay, but it's not 2015 anymore, there are no good enthusiast cars that are not overpriced these days.

As always, mechanically sound seems overrated, because I don't know who in this day and age would rather have a perfect drivetrain in a body that needs work and paint than a blown up engine in a body that looks excellent.
                            Yeah, i guess i need to remind myself that although my car may have been $800, that was back in 2018 and was an uncommonly good deal at the time. I'd really like another coupe, but damn, I just can't justify the cost to have 2 fewer doors.
