I have been to look at several, the nice ones are going for alot more than 28,000 dollars. I saw four under 25k, and ALL of them had been NEEEEgleted! :( (WHO'd do such a thing?) HERE is my theory:

1)People who could afford this machine actually paid to keep them up
2)People who thought they could afford the 850 HAD NO IDEA that the maint. was like most peoples' car pymt., and neglected to maintain them
3)that's why they are "rode hard, and put up wet," and the ones the are maintained well SUFFER in book value because of the abusive owners who ragged theie e31's out!

What a sad thought, one of the most exotic, beautiful cars ever made my Bav Mo Wrks, and people actually ruined them. I am crying as I write....
