The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would

[Jeff_DML]

yeah seems like a good price for the buyer,

So JST what brought the price down, The iffy of the US importation or the accident or both?

I think both, though if the seller was correct about interest from the EU, it may have been more the accident than the questions about importing.

Jeez, that M5 was cheap!

I know!! Like I said on BAT. They are all over the board pricing wise.

If you look close though the front seats and the arm rest where pretty well worn and there was water damage on the lower back doors. But still.

Yeah, and that center armrest solution was pretty rough looking. You have to wonder what other items were short-cutted.

Did you end up selling your car?

[Theo]

Nope. The thing is it's not like I don't love the dam thing. It's hard to give up. Esp now that everything they could find is addressed. It's just wanting something else and tired of the repair bills.

I want an E92 M3 but no one ever seems to keep them here. They have them for maybe a year and sell with not many good things to say. That freaks me out a little. I don t know what the fuck to do.

have you test driven one?

[Theo]

Just with the DCT which I hated. I need to find a unicorn 6-spd to drive. I did find it be "feel" super solid and heavy and not in a good way nesseserally.

I don't mind the peakeyness of the engine which I think can be better managed with the manual.

There's a lot on that car that gives me pause. I don't think the price is bad for the condition.

Like the comments mention...lack of underside and birdcage pics (or even description) is kinda scary. Horrible shade of red, too. Assuming rust free(ish), though, that's pretty much what I want.

And under $15k, the bidding ended up where it should have even if reserve wasn't met.
