Guys I need some feedback. My bro is looking at buying an ix and came upon this in colorado. The owner is an older gent who's not too computer savvy, and both my brother and I aren't entirely sure he knows all of what he has. That said, this is the info my brother got out of him today (message copied from my brother):

"So the iX is in good shape. The engine bay is spick and span, 169,000 miles. New paint job, hella smiley lights, new bumpers (replacing the chrome), lip spoiler, euro grille, Alpina and BBS wheels, Dinan twin turbo is ���� but the interior is a little rough. Not ratty, but definitely not clean. It's all original tan leather with Alpina steering wheel, pedals, gas tank and some other shit. I'm gonna call tomorrow to ask what work Dinan did back in 1990. The guy at the shop said he'd seen the original receipt, and Dinan did $11,000 worth of work back in 1990 on the car. The guy is asking $13,000 but I'm not convinced it's worth $13,000. Any thoughts?"

What are your guys thoughts on this? Is it worth more/less than the asking? I really have no knowledge of value when it comes to these kind of rare builds. Also I'm pretty sure thats not really a twin turbo (I think thats the owner not knowing what he has) but quite sure its a dinan installed turbo setup with who knows what else. Also don't have any pictures yet.

I'm a little late to this party, but keep in mind that said car will never be register-able in CA. Makes it definitely not worth it in my eyes.

How much life remaining in my m20? , freshly gasketed except oil pan ... But... Found some oil on my sparkplugs..

Yikes, you may only get another one or two hundred thousand miles.

Haha clever. It was a balmy 86 by me today. Crazy to drive over the hill and literally see the valley on fire

Used to be on CoPart all the time for work - monitored a few of the older M cars bid through and usually sold for more than I'd be willing to pay for a salvage. I remember a fender-bender M3 with a 24v and missing a lot of the essential e30m stuff (and in meh condition) pulled $15k about two years ago. I think that car would have been a hard sell on the open market at that time.

There was a red m3 on there not to long ago , i saw the high bid was at 5k but didnt watch it so it may have sold for more . Theres surprisingly some good 2002's on there for reasonably good prices. Right now theres another red m3 on there again with barely 104k on the clock and has a high bid of 19.5k
