Hi,
I missed out on this and was wondering if this was a member's car?

I would love to try to find this and see it in person to see how it can be salvaged.

cant use contact seller... I guess I could email BAT directly to ask... maybe that's the best route at this point.

I live in the area of that car. It’s been on Craigslist for a long time.

BaT isn't always right on valuation.

100% agree particularly in this instance. I was helping out the poster who wanted to contact the seller to make an offer.

Correct, agree on that statement, but it's not a 12K car in its current state. I contacted, made my offer, and we couldn't strike a deal.
Heck... if you want to pay $12K for an E28, take mine... lol.

Better than his original asking price of 23.5K on marketplace. He lowered it to 19.5K after the bat auction ended. I understand our cars are rare and desirable. But they are only worth what someone is willing to pay. There are a lot of dreamers out there. He will be sitting in that car for a very long long time as the reality hasn’t hit him yet.

We need a new smiley with someone smoking a crack pipe...
Did you see the rust on this thing? This is a well-under-$5k car.
Yes, it was nice at some point, but that was a decade or two ago. Hope the seller's crack wears off soon.
