GMs suck and have always sucked and will likely always suck.
That's just the way it is. |

That's actually kind of amazing. Not that I'd want it, but can you imagine preserving something like that?
The related stories are also wondrous. |

Yes - not the car for me. Miles and maintenance - were fine... as such. There were things that were going to be needed to be done - that comes with the territory.
The issue with me was the lack of care the PO gave the body and such. Just way too many bumps and grinds. Like I mentioned, the PO was a very 'non-car' gal. I think that manifested itself in the abuse the car received. If the body was in good to great shape - I would have bid (but only to about $15k). The condition of the body also gave me a second thought or two about what problems might arise with the mechanics (given that she had to take the car in for all the work done to it - I got the feeling she or her husband did not do anything themselves to the car. That leads to things being put off or not done at all - possibly... IMO). I'm patient - Plus - There is a Carbon Black one in the Bay Area that 'might' be available at some point. (lol - that lets me be patient - to some extent). Or who knows - might find something else to scratch my itch.

This is nicely optioned. My e90 was interlagos and it is not my favorite blue but wouldn't mind it again.

It will go for far more than I am willing to pay for something this goofy, but I love it. |

Here's a BAT car that is similar to one I almost bought 20 years ago, but didn't.
