I made it very clear that his down payment on the car is non-fundable and that the car is not going on the trailer without the balance being paid before hand. I don’t expect that to be an issue, but just to have all the bases covered.

Sounds like he’s already got something arranged as he was talking days of pick up early next week.

Good on the deposit. Always non nonrefundable deposits. Too many people "Talk"

Wow, that did go fast!
I'll be curious to see what he finds for shipping, when one of my cars was marked as non running it got no bites, as soon as that changed it got shipped 2 days later. 
Part of me hopes to see it again for sale as a shell, just for the amusement!

My one thing, you'll always wish you had the real thing(with all replica items). Only reason I got a real E28 M5 one for my other car was because I got an insane deal on it.

Thanks! I figured the fit wasn't perfect, good to know if I decide to go that route. 

Couldn't agree more, usually I would suck it up and buy the real thing but its hard to justify $5-600 for a spoiler...

When I saw it listed for $650 I knew it would go fast. An Mtech 1 steering wheel alone is $175-200 at this point.

Did you put on the replica mtech 1 spoiler by the way? How was the fit? Been considering one since a real mtech 1 is hella expensive now and I don't want to drill the trunk for the e28 version. 

I did. It's okay for the price. It's a one piece fiberglass(or some resin) mold. The benefit is that there are no studs, so you can lay it on top of the trunk to get a fit estimation. You will have to do some sanding and modifying to get a good fit. I just double sided taped mine and there was a fair gap in the middle of it. I also could have installed it either too forward or back on the trunk so the radiuses didn't align.

Even with the bit of rust this was much better than a typical rolling shell given the full interior, other new(er) bits and general e30 inflation. Most rolling shells tend to be gutted. Sport seats alone even beat up have been going for stupid money.  But as you said you got your asking and have money in hand (!!) so the deck is clear for other stuff. It will be interesting to see what the buyer's plans are: restore, or gut for race/track car.  

He sent me a pic of his garage. It's going to a good home.

That was fast.

Yeah, I probably should have listed it for more, but pricing a rolling shell is different than a running car so I wasn't sure.

Regardless, I can't argue getting my asking price wired to me in less than an hour of posting of the ad. Some guy in Cleveland bought it and I'm holding it until he gets the shipping figured out.
