I was following this on BAT, what do you think held the price back? I was very surprised at the low bid.
Just saw this and spent my weekly 45 mins on BAT! Always wanted one of these and I'd be glad it didn't make the reserve-it's worth more. They didn't make many of these, it still had the 4 cyl engine, it's a Fla car and has more records/history than most. Love the red also
These are the reasons for the lower prices: 1. Rust repair by replacing the whole trunk, so car is no longer original 2. The engine compartment does not show well compared to the exterior of the car, so car was not well tended to before the repaint. 3. Speedo inop for a time I had a car like this except with medium tan interior. I think at $40k, it is an ok deal.
Beautiful e30 glws love the color. Here’s mine but not an m3 View attachment 2554367 Image Unavailable, Please Login
yes, I did really well on my 1962 VW Bus sale that I am letting this M3 go below market for a fast sale. henryr - what site did you sell your M3 on?
CL Its just finding the right buyer. you have the stock wheels ? if so put them back on BAT has been good even for the cars I auctioned RNM. Other bidders either stepped up or I just directed inquiries to the site instead of having to give details every call.
