    Default Beauty on the 'Bay

    I WAS GOING TO BUY THIS!

    Some idiot bid it up over my max with 12 hours still to go. Don't people understand sniping anymore? Jeez. Hey, you guys, do me a favor and buy it out from under whoever.



    I'm sad.

    Now I'm back to square 1, ie tranny swap. Anybody got a donor they want to sell cheap?

    You do know those are E39 wheels, right? Be sure to check for the correct hub rings in case the Ebay used-car dealer didn't bother. I can't imagine what kind of gas the driver must have been passing to ruin a seat that badly. Otherwise looks like a nice car and not a bad price with a new clutch and all. The Traction Control is well worth it.

    OMG. I'm a dumbass.

    Have a look.

    Yes, I bought it. Picking it up on Thursday afternoon, driving back to TN Thursday night / Friday morning. Holy saints be with me, I'm an idiot.

    looks like the first sale sold to a joker with zero feedback, then the second auction was put up for prozak to bid on

    That's it, "second chance." I paid too much, but cost of this (minus) what I get for mine (should equal) less than a tranny swap, and I come out with heated seats, traction control (whatever that's worth), those nice wheels / tires and 20k fewer miles. I think I can live with it.
