E30 325i Touring - Needs compliance

Recommended Posts

I'd be more put off by the silent-auction-masquerading-as-a-classified-listing than the rust. Did the vendor go into that at all? 

I guess if you've been thirsting for a red 2.5 touring for ever then it could be worth the punt. I can absolutely see the appeal. 

@Young Thrash Driver is right, it is beautiful. Maybe easier and cheaper to make a solid car pretty though, and at least you know you get to drive it! 

Garage it for a couple of years and those wheels alone will be worth the asking price the way prices are going.

Its sold? 

Yes I got pictures of the rust. Several different spots rusted through. Looks like a big job especially getting done to compliance standard

its a bit late now, but i presume it was flagged at the border for rust? All the rust work would need to be properly signed off etc, so compliance costs would add up quickly. I hope whoever purchased it has done their research. Knowing NZ it'll probably be badly fixed, plated and tagged, and on sold for heaps in a couple of months.

Also +1 to the seller sounding like an a**hole regarding their silent auction crap, which in the end meant nothing, because someone obviously viewed the car and waved a wad of cash (that i bet was more than 5k) in their face.
