This one is even more exciting.

I actually saw that listing yesterday and went and bought a powerball ticket just incase.

Slightly more in-range than the M1, but rarer:

6 speed S62 powered E38.

Love it and love that it has the short wheelbase.

Speaking of which...

Someone finally posted the Holy Grail, a 1987 VW GTI 16V that is cleaner than you can imagine a 33 year old VW being. The color is dumb but other than that...wow.

It's going to go for more money than you can imagine because VW people are crazy. I'm guessing...36? More than a new one, certainly.

Here's a good example of how NOT to sell a car on BaT. Seller was not communicative, kind of cagey, didn't disclose he was flipping the car, didn't disclose it had paintwork done, didn't disclose that HE did the paintwork, didn't disclose the A/C didn't work, then basically stopped answering questions.

Really stupid, because it was a no reserve auction and I guarantee there was another 10K in that car. Turns out he bought it for like $7500 and the car had been on barnfinds; why not spend a little more making it perfect and disclose the hell out of all the trouble you'd gone to?

Weird, man.

But given the choice, might you rather have this?

Hasn't been driven since the Escobars dropped it off.

That's a lot of car for 33K.
