ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even worse than the one I started with. Pretty sure this must have been underwater with that Bugatti from a few years back.

they added an extra 0 on the price

That WOULD be a parts car -if there were any parts on it!

My Mac Book is starting to rust just from showing me those pictures.

Have some fun: Buy and then sue them for misrepresenting the car.
They state it´s a 3.0CSI while it´s clearly a 3.0CS

Six months ago, I gave another forum member a car that was much better than this, for free.
Jeesh.
Totally ridiculous.

Oh but it was a running 3.0CSI when it was parked. Did the acid rains roll in and washed away the I?

 

[Tierfreund]

Which one is worse: This 3.0CS

That's astonishing. Looks like they're using the rear sway bar to support the car on the lift, too. I'm surprised it didn't collapse on itself, but notice they didn't walk too far under it to take the photos. :lol:

Welcome. Do I take your presence and posts to mean you have entered E9 ownership?

Oscar Award

A beautiful woman reads:

'And the Oscar for most dramatic car in pre-restoration state goes too.....'

The envelope opens:

Beverly Hills Car Club!

The crowd claps....

End of fantasy.

On a side note, I give this guy credit....he is one of the only people I can think of that can probably transform any car into this.

I can image he finds 80k, one-owner cars and thinks to himself: 'that's......too clean', then by letting them sit at the bottom of a salt lake, a-la aforementioned 'Bugatti', he has himself the next 'Oscar Winner.'

Thing is, some people get a kick out of projects and he is probably playing their strings. A normal person would have a heart-attack seeing the cars he offers for sale.

Just my .02 cents.

Gives new meaning to the CSL designation. This is what BMW meant by Licht.
