Sad car, delusional seller at $2k...

“California car”

Maybe 20 years ago 

all that rust in the seams and shit on the rockers

even looks like the bottom of a fender is rusted out

[ChrisO]

Wow

[Earl]

I was talking with some friends about that last night. I think that will forever stay a shell and be a collectors item which really isn't a bad thing. It's really neat

[Jdesign]

I agree. Its funny to see there are so many completely opposite opinions about it. Some say its over priced because you can buy a running driving E30 M3 for $40k, others think its cheap because you will never find another. I  think if anyone should buy it, it should be BMW themselves for a museum piece.

[HipMF]

I don't see it being a collectors item at all; just a replacement shell for a crashed race car. Feel free to put it in your garage and stare at it, but I'd rather see it put to use for it's intended purpose.

Right, and its funny to see the different reactions everyone has to it. Some say use it, some say keep it in its current state.

Said car was just posted here in the Cars FS topic. IMO its a more realistic, $1000 car. Best of luck to him.

i bet he bought the car without a title, and didnt realize he would be required to bond it if he wanted one. that costs a bit of money, and carries risk. most people don't want to take the risk or suspend that much cash. 

its dumb to buy a car without a title unless you know the EXACT history and why it was lost. if its stolen, crime committed with it, someone claiming they own it, blah blah you get get screwed.

I know nothing of these cars, what's a realistic price for it? Wasn't it listed a while back for much higher?

yeah i think it was something like 14k for a couple years. the guy has one of the sentimental attachment problems. a clean e21 could be worth a few thousand, but the 80s ghetto-blaster theme (white everything, terrible wheels, bad tint) make it look cheap.

more crackhead pricing. $600 for e30 bottlecaps

https://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/wto/d/port-huron-fundo-14x6-4x100-e35-bottle/6788850220.html

[Jdesign]

This. It has potential. Its in similar shape as my E24 was, and I paid a 10th of the price. 

Realistically, as it sits, I would be kind saying it would probably bring $4k. But with that, in the past 10 years its been for sale, I have N E V E R seen a single image of the inside, let alone the engine bay. He has given a little more effort this time, but the lack of effort put into the pictures, the guy is going to pass away before it sells.  (Im assuming hes in his 30's LOL)

Also, note this one that sold on BAT for $7k and its far superior in condition. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1981-2/

@m42b32

Woah, must be that gold paint and the VW emblems. 

I've sold sets to Honda guys for cheap, looks like I should have posted on VW forums.

[Boris3]

By comparison, this is a good deal for a very clean set of e30 sport seats. Anyone know the seller?
