    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

      Very true.

      I 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.
      Yes dude’s a straight shooter and the car is the real deal.

      Oh that was never in the cards.. the $20k bid was bs for sure, probably last nights bid too. But that car was listed for $23k with 14” weaves 2.5 years ago... so no way it’s going for less than 24-25

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

      Posted some pros/cons on my build thread, so as to not pollute this one.. appreciate your feedback.

                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.

                  I’d take that car, everything is basically new. You can’t replicate that car for that price point. Also, if you keep the car and drive it for a few years, and then decided to sell it, I bet you could make some $ of it too. E30’s are only appreciating, so go for it.

                      Good

                      I think that new MT2 listing is distracting some of the buyers or at least making them re-think this stock versus mod thingy. We'll see.

                        I get why you say that, but still think there are plenty of approachable, non-collector grade, non 'special' E30s out there for lovin.

                          yes this is a royal BaT screwup. could have waited a couple of days. that said it's over 100k miles, has suspension mods and the seats were re-done without keeping the original extended leather. I think it's a different buyer that will go that route.

                          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 BS

                              Looks like a broker swooped in and bought it. Interesting history on that guy.
