FYI- http://erepairables.com/salvage-cars-auction/cars/bmw/a+series/1972-bmw-a+series-5176551

I have no experience buying from this site. Just thought I'd throw this out there.

interior looks decent. maybe it has a pair of the red handled screwdrivers? looks like there are some good parts on this coupe

If anyone is looking at picking it up as a parts car, I'll buy the complete interior. Drop me a PM.

I would get the whole car but I'm in TX

Cheers

Pre-damage estimate $41,500, why is their estimate so realistic when others are so low? Interior looks great.

This makes me sad

This car is at Copart with a high bid of $225 so far. Prebids don't mean anything really, it will have hundreds of people watching when it sells.

erepairables is a broker site for auctions and repairable vehicles across the country. They also list cars we sell on our website at Autogator because we get calls about cars that are long gone.

Internal does look decent in pics. I could use that blue carpet that appears to be in there.

Calling Stan! Calling Hackmechanic!
One of you guys should drive over and pick this one up and part it.
Albany is not far from Portsmouth or Boston?

Albany is really close to Saratoga Springs where most of the East Coast is gathering on Oct. 13. Anyone going for a look see? Nothing like a live appraisal to share with us.

I will see if we can prk it next to the first turkey carcass

One needs to be a Copart member to look or bid. I'll look at it today if someone is a member. It's only 5 minutes away.

that complicates things...

For this specific auction you have to be a car dealer or a broker. If anyone is, they can go to the Coparts website and become a registered member.

The broker sites like e-repairables are set up so you can buy a car through them, hence the difference in price (broker fee). You can probably view the car as a "guest" and pay an entry fee, although its expensive the last time I checked.

I buy through Copart but its Autogator's license and I doubt I could work a long distance buy into my job. My guess is that a BMW or European dismantler in the area will buy it for parts.

What ever became of this car?
