In Reply to: (What looks like) NICE '86 535i on eBay for $785!! posted by Brad Couvillon on September 23, 2001 at 16:29:26:
Someone buy this car. I'm almost tempted to bid on it myself. Matter of fact, I WOULD bid on it if I wasn't afraid the shipping costs would eat me up (Albany to Louisiana? OUCH).
Of note:
1) The price is $785!!!
2) The reserve is probably much higher. I almost e-mailed the seller to see what the reserve was
3) The seller has a feedback of only 3, and they look like some type of dealer
4) Front spoiler looks like it's not in very good condition. BTW, I wonder if that came as an option when it was new or if an owner added it?
5) Rear seats don't look terribly hot, but at least I don't see any rips
6) It's an auto
7) Description mentions repainted and slightly blemished front fender, but I can't see it in any pictures. Why didn't they take any close-ups?!
8) Unless the radio was on when the picture w/ the rhino in the background was taken, the antenna motor is frozen in the up position
9) Interior looks nice! No tears, scratches, blemishes, stains, removed speakers. . . nothing. Just a few signs of old age
10) Even if there IS some odometer rollback, the car's still only $785!!!
Again, if anyone cares, I would bid on this car if I knew of some way to get it down to me for cheaper than the $$$$ it would cost for shipping. Plus, I think the seller only ships to up to 250 miles. A road trip is not in my best interest any time soon.
Anyone in the north wanna take a trip to Albany to take a look at the car and/or pick it up for me? If so, I just may bid on this thing. There's still more than a week left, so there's time for someone to tell me what a crappy car this is, lol.
BTW, I have no affiliation with the seller, buyer, or car itself, of course. Hell, I live in Louisiana!
Someone PLEASE talk me out of bidding on this car. Otherwise, if it sells for $1000 without me bidding on it, I'm going to be PISSED.
