Some Questions About Your Listing

Hi Simon,

We are inundated with submissions in this price range and E30s in particular, and unfortunately we simply cannot list them all. We would only consider your car in a no reserve auction.

Best,
Howard Swig
Bring a Trailer Auctions


This was their response after I told them I was considering making my car BAR legal. I'm not about to spend more money with no protection that I can have a reserve

That is my issue with it. My car is also banned from CA, so I have a feeling that would create an issue with BAT.

we are going to try our hands at open wheel next season.

Da fuq IS that thing?

That looks terrifying, just from the rear wing elements...

settle down, no need to get all worked up.

i guess make your car nicer, and sell it for 50k

Im not worked up. You suggested something that perhaps I hadnt thought of yet and I corrected you.

And 50k, you're joking right? You arent really that dumb. right? (being serious)

That is my issue with it. My car is also banned from CA, so I have a feeling that would create an issue with BAT.

You can try your car, but being out of CA and not being CA legal isnt your problem. Im trying to appeal to potential buyers, but Im not going to throw another grand (potentially) at the car if I cant get any type of protection against it. Obviously I know Im not going to get my money back, but I dont want to get hosed by stupid comments killing my auction and have my "crappy non-VIN matching swapped abomination" sell for $3500

[Matt-B]

well

i have no idea why they wont let just anyone put cars on there, if its 99$ a car, they would get rich...

seems like they are segregating cars, and only posting suuper clean examples.

I thought the whole idea behind BaT is you buy a barn find. Hence the name. BRING A TRAILER.

[BraveUlysses]

it's a site for selling uncommon enthusiast cars, just cause the name mentions a trailer doesn't mean it's for barn finds ;)

they usually only have about 100 cars up at any given time and i'm sure there's a point of diminishing returns for offering more beyond a certain number of concurrent auctions

well, there was a stock eclipse GSX on there as a no-reserve auction. clean original car minus the shit paint that basically every car from the 90s had... sold for $1700.... I was tempted to bid on it because thats a pretty damn bulletproof car, but it didnt quite fit into BaT's "model" so to ensure it sells, no-reserve was their option.

[BraveUlysses]

bulletproof? GSX?

[Henna30]

I'm curious to see how BAT will want to place my car when I put it up for sale next month. I've finally got a bunch of nice pictures and am slowly getting the courage to submit it. I've filled out the form twice and then just exited out. lol This time will be for real though. The Henna will officially be for sale.

Roman,

First of all, dont do it! (standard R3V disclaimer)
Second, they will definitely LOVE your car because its clean and OEM+ and probably numbers matching. It should do quite well.
Third, you know what you need to do before you sell it. Im waiting for those pics. Me first, then post the ad

Looking at Pikes Peak as an option.

What are the two side tanks with very little protection? Is that fuel?
