The seller was very active until after the sale. He must have been floored to as he did not even comment.

This… he paid an excessive amount for a low mileage E36 M3 as well. I want to say $45-50k.

Yeah, that was much less than I expected.

Edit: I wonder if having this green M5 on at the same time hurt the red one.

I feel the accident definitely hurt it. In reality it was on the high side for an E39 M5 that has had body/paint work.

Was worth a watch. I had no idea it had so many issues.

One of the best looking cars of all time... and one of the best chassis ever as well. Can't watch the episode now but I wonder if he discusses how Mazda, um, lied about the displacement of the rotary to skirt displacement-based taxes in Japan.

Exactly… my first thought. I had the same thought for this (previously posted in Dial 911). It is a dot 2 though. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...1-carrera-s-2/
