Bring a Trailer Auctions, E30 edition

[2mAn]

Pretty clean late model just listed: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-bmw-325is-5/

Funny how the seller makes an effort to hide the plates but doesn't mind posting the VIN

I keep the list updated! :up:

A few hours left on the '90 iS and its at $6,000 right now. I wonder how much more it will go. I am guessing its got a little more left in it, but wont break 10. Lets see how the late models are doing now compared with the early models

Does anyone know what BaT's commission is?

5% charged to the winner of the auction, up to (I believe) $5,000 max.

Thanks man. I was thinking it would be 3%.

So, right now there are 40 cars listed on the 'Previous Auctions' section, selling between 10/11/2016 - 10/14/2016.

If I calculated correctly, the commission for those three days was $54,830.70.

Six mil a year?

Its definitely a smart business move on their part. I need a million dollar idea so I can just play with cars all day

Agreed.

Agreed.

Get into the wedding, funeral, pet or alcohol industries and find something that people need in that industry. The company I work for specializes on the alcohol industry and the amount of money they throw around is insane. When the economy is good, people drink. When its bad they drink even more.

Could potentially be a good deal for someone looking to put some elbow grease into it! I feel like with a solid detailing the seller could make more money on it than its showing in the pics.

IKR..

I guess if you want a nice vert, that's one way to do it..

Well, at least a raising tide lifts all boats (or E30's)

exactly. I've wanted to get a Porsche for a long time, but the older (and wiser?) I get Im realizing that Im going to give up A LOT in regards to performance if I were to sell my E30 to buy a 911. If anything, Im going to buy a Cayman because its a much better chassis than the 911... the engines in the right spot for a performance car.

Im going to just keep my E30 and go hunt down the rich guys in 911s at the track. That will make me feel better

btw No reserve M3 still sells for 30k

Saw that..

Looks like the new owner is going to drop some more money on it to have it tweaked and customized.
