other than it having a salvage title and maybe high reserve price?

gregthegr8 · 11-12-2013, 04:13 PM

Weird that it has Montana plates, GA salvage title, the vehicle history report shows it as a CA car with CA salvage title, and they say the car is located in NY.

Probably not smart to take pictures of the instrument cluster with low tire pressure warnings on, too and almost out of gas so the range is down to 10 miles. Ha!

It's prestine and has a carbon fiber grille!

1) Any car being sold on fleaBay is there for a reason...and really not worth considering unless it's far better documented and photographed than this car.

LukeM3 · 11-12-2013, 04:53 PM

The owner is a member here and this car has been documented well here on the board concerning its issues.
He's been trying to sell it for some time now.

Same thing goes for that one that Glassoman fixed (the last one for the US), it too can't sell and it's been for sale on eBay and Copart for many months

It sold for $30K....scary

boostedtwin · 11-13-2013, 06:28 AM

Worth it if someone was local and willing to test it carefully. A car for someone that wants to keep it in the garage. Sold for cheap imo. $30k? I paid 105k on mine. Yeah, I know it's not US price but it's my reality in Brazil.

M3 Adjuster · 11-14-2013, 01:54 PM

wow. for 30K... would be worth a flyer...heck I would have bought it and sold my current car for that kind of $$ advantage.

LukeM3 · 11-14-2013, 06:12 PM

How do y'all know it sold? It sold for more in the past but the reserve was never met. That's why it kept coming up on eBay.
Same thing with the salvage one up in Glenmont, it too came off some of the sales sites but it's still on the dealers web page at $49.9k

I think normally underneath after a bid is placed, it'll still say "(reserve not met)" underneath the price or something like that and it wasn't showing when the $30k bid was showing on there. And then after the auction ended it was listed as sold as opposed to something like not sold, reserve not met.

Obviously a lot of things have to happen for the sale to actually take place though. So, who knows.
