Wow...

Agree. This is a fine example of how a car should be listed. Beautiful. Granted, it's a Euro, price is reasonable.

 

What do you think the value would be if it was a US car?

 

Hi Ghost,
I hope I'm not hijacking your thread by pursuing the Euro car issue. I'm a newbie and would like to know the pros and cons of buying a Euro-spec car. I'm trying to educate myself before putting the money down. Also, is a DOT-EPA approved Euro car any more difficult to register, say, for instance, in California?

 

Yikes...I should have looked a little further down the list to "550 Euro vs US" Sorry about that

 

ABSOLUTELY! Much tighter guidelines and about $2,500 extra, IIRC. That is why most Eurocars cars are listed as "49 state" certified. That black car is probably right at 100-105K (for Cali).

 

Thats how to advertise a car! I'd love for my pics to end up like that. Any tips?

 

My Eur0 550's paper work says all 50 states, it must depend on who did the conversition.

Moreso, how much the guy paid who first brought it in.

 

I think if Amerispec did the conversion they tend to be the best. The CA is a good question.

Anyone had any experience with this?

 

I use to own this car and it does not have ob2 computer. It should have been installed and I had a heck of a time getting it registered. Some states it would not make a difference but in Mass. it is a problem.

Not having an OB2 I do think would be an issue in CA. Aside of that, how was the car from your perspective? Did you sell it to BMW of Austin?

 

The car was great!! I sold it to Motorcars international in 2004 w 4K miles on it.

 

Amazing pictures, how do people do this?? I can imagine the effect high quality photos like that would have on sales..
