So you bought the car after seeing only that one picture? Niiiice!

[thectrlguy]

Not exactly, I saw a couple other photo's (maybe 4-5). Then bought it.... I wound up deleting the other photo's.....

Does your guy have a web site? Doesn't happen to be JNS Imports does it?

That is a very clean car.

Have fun with the repair bills... don't abuse it or drive it very hard.

No dice on the website / JNS Import.... like I said, he does this part-time..... I "googled" JNS Imports, looks like they are from Alberta...

Thanks man... I can't wait...

The wife on the other hand.... doesn't know about it yet... should prove to be entertaining...

I was just talking about E31's with a friend last night, nice find man. Looks like it just needs a good cleaning.

[StereoInstaller1]

Wow.

Just fucking WOW.

What a beauty. I know one day there will be one in my garage.

Drive it, break it, fix it, use that damn thing, ACS goodies and all.

Sweet find!

Actually, thats what reason sounds like.
That car is litterally 2 M20's in 1.
2 ECU's, 2 Wiring harnesses, 2 Batteries, etc.
Wait till 1 of the batteries dies...

Its a clusterfuck of electronics.

I've been offered 8er's before and walked away.
Better hope the sunroof never dies... you can't buy individual pieces, just the whole cartridge/motor/insert.... $5k+, plus entire interior disassembly to install.

We won't even get into the horrible transmission failure rate.

Awesome looking cars.
Floaty/soft to drive.
Shitty to maintain


Congrats though, I hope the PO's took care of it.

Mr. Negator.....

1. It's a car buddy...

2. If I wanted all out reliability and cheap maintenance bills... I would have bought a Camry...

3. Not to mention, for the amount I am going to drive it..... I don't predict it being a total pain in the ass.....

4. If it fucks up.... well... such is life...

If you need to defend your purchase go for it.
I'm just sharing my experiences with the 8 series...
