The one thing Im trying to really focus on now, especially since my Datsun is driving is to tighten up my car budget... and with that said its really annoying when people who want to buy stuff disappear right when they are supposed to pay for something they have asked me a million questions about... GIMME MY MONEY SO I CAN BUY CAR PARTS!Simon

Just glad I have been doing this long enough to do a quick idea in the noggin. Some of the questions are so generic and have a huge range of cost, it gets annoying. "How much is a swap in an e30?" "How much for a built m20?" "How much to install a roll cage?". You would think people who are building cars have at least an inclination of what they want.
OTOH, it's bitten me before when the car is just dropped off and they tell me what they want, trusting my honesty. Well, caged an e46 that wasn't quite prepped, and had some work -arounds like keeping A/C, BCM happy, power windows etc so the car could evolve from street to race. Handed him an invoice, and he says "That's it?"....I was thinking I was overcharging....grrr

Also, in regard to selling, I've gotten a lot of people asking for various VIN reports for the KTM, most are pretty personable even asking the right questions, it's a new scam that's hard to detect until they send a link to some website and ask me to provide a VIN report.I do things.

I think I'm off the Z3 now.
Looking at E39 M5's and they're all 18-20k.
This started as a "cheap convertible" idea, but is now growing in scope.
OTOH, E39 M5's are great cars, and will most likely appreciate as long as I do good repairs and keep it in good cosmetic and mechanical order.
Plus that V8 sound.
I do things.

What makes it more frustrating is when you explain to them why you can't price them out and then they ask for a ballpark lol
I just respond with "a million dollars"
If I hold the phone up to the car, can you talk to it?I do things.
