For $40k it should come with a happy ending!  The market has dictated that these cars aren't worth near that!  It's a $20k car at most.  With that said, it's gorgeous and i'd drive that in a heartbeat.

yup, wayyy overpriced! You can get a low mileage M635CSI for that price.

You could almost buy (2) S52 engines at that price.

I'll pass.

I bet they got that car CHEAP and are trying to get their money back out with the S14. I could see if it was a known good motor and was running but with that being an uncertainty, I wouldn't want to pay that and then have to pay to bring it back to life.

I'm 99% sure that car was on craigslist sometime last year with an asking price of 12k. It sold in less than a day

Anyone else confused as to how the rear has camber plates?

I don't understand people that put an asking price, followed by a lower price they will take.

psychology 101. make the product seem like its on sale and people think the deal is better, regardless of actual value. there is a photo canvas printing company that regularly fluctuates the 'original price' so that the sale % can go up and down without changing what they actual sell the stuff for. i don't know how its legal, but apparently it is.

[patsbimmer1]

From what I've learned in dealing with pricing as long as it's not "confusing"  and the price at checkout is what's advertised then it's legal.  If it's questioned it can be justified by saying website X sells widget A for $20 so we can say that it does have an original price of $20 but we sell it for $18 even if we never intended to sell it for $20.  Or you can say that MSRP is $20 but we have an advertised price agreement of $18 with Widget Vendor.  As long as you're not violating any breach of contract with the vendor then it's alright with them.  It might not be honest but it's not confusing the buyer intentionally.
