Might be worth checking out for the price.

Unless there is rust everywhere, this is a very good price

All rust is repairable

Bet it needs a full on front fender rust repair, but seems like a great buy otherwise.

I looked at this car a few months ago. Overpriced. Sorry no great deal here. Tops of fenders are rusted through, some rust along rockers. Trunk rust is minimal. Seats were re-upolstered in vinyl (why?). Wood dash needs redoing. Exterior trim band is in good shape, interior trim is ok. Chrome is in good shape. Everything needs just a bit of attention. It's a project car, not a parts car, but not at the asking price.

Anyone know if this is a private party or dealer ad? My gut feeling says the latter.

And who is the go to guy for a PPI in the Seattle metro area?

Thanks

Private party.

PPI for the mechanicals - look at Strictly BMW in Bellevue. There may be others. I can do body and general condition items.

Yeah and if it was fully restored he would probably be asking 20-30k.

Whats with the negativity? I think its a reasonably priced coupe, and I'm sure he's open to offers. sheesh.

Objective, not negative

I'll go with the assessment of the guy who has seen it (Sven) given what he has for experience http://www.larsenarchitect.com/BMW/Restoration.html.

Pretty objective with the plus and minus comments.

Your point about restorations is well taken but the figures are a bit light if that was the case.

 

[phead82]

I agree. 20 - 30k for a fully restored coupe might be a little on the optimistic side. Yet for 13k it could be a pretty nice driver.
