    Wow, looks clean. It's almost too bad I just bought a new car.

    are you seriously interested in buying the car, or are you just being a jerk? Because some of us are seriously interested in buying. I guess I have learned my lesson and won't be posting any more cars I am truly interested in on this forum.

    wow that didn't sell for $1000 at no reserve? even for parts... but maybe i'm used to the inflated canadian market.

    i'm certainly not buying or having a bidding war with another member - (having enough trouble affording the little one i have) - but i'm just curious what it costs to import a car from the states. i was under the impression you have to do it through a broker and there are costs on top of the broker fees and the gst/pst.

    Last I heard a clutch job on an E34 M5 is about $1,000-$1,200. Not sure what a new tranny would cost though.

    Also not so sure about the crappy wheels & tires it has. And the fact that it's clearly missing some bolts on the plug/wire cover. Makes me wonder what other things have been neglected on it.

    thanks for the information and for the critical eye, I missed those details.

    it costs you tax plus import duty - you don't need to use a broker, I do in order to save time sometimes, but it's a $50 dollar charge...Duty on German cars is around 6% if I remember correctly. It's an easy process, I imported my previous daily driver from the US.
