Not one, but TWO, 325is' come up the very next day.  | What a piss off. Especially another clean red one. I saw the same thing happen with three Integra Type R being listed at the same time. The sellers were not happy either.

If you ask me, the A8's various collision damage doesn't seem like that big of a deal. The first 3 sub-$2000 claims are minimal, esp on an Audi. The $4500 front end collision is more serious, but if it was a replacement bumper, head light(s), replacement rad, a bit of body work and stuff, that's your $4500 right there.

a headlight is basically 2k already, I don't think its that bad. But it's an Audi... especially the A8. All the tech that's un-tested goes into the flagship which means shit will go wrong lol

The bronzit one is more of a worry for your demographic, but its not m-tech 2, and its bronzit (which only I love)

While those ITRs were somewhat different, having them listed at the same time completely cannabalized each other.
Albeit E30s are pretty commonfare on there now, it still irks me how 3 325is' are up within 24 hours of each other, no matter how different. Especially when I was told they'd do their best to avoid that.
Anyhow, we'll see how it does in the next 5 days. Pretty quiet so far which is too bad cause I set aside time this week to attend to any queries or viewings.

That's why all those engine, steering, sport differential, air suspension, and ESP fault lights are on, the wiring harnesses are compromised.

I've seen the car a few times up close over the years and it's been looked after very well. I don't think he's put a ton of mileage on it either since I sold it to him a few years ago. Somebody buy it and let me go for another spin again  | |

How is the asking price for a 128i these days anyway? Is this used car dealership out to lunch? Or reasonable?

These are just rare, not a good deal on CL yet but could possibly be depending on what owner is willing to settle for. You may just have to offer him a bit over what dealer would give him. Damn ... his garage!

I can't imagine a dealer would pay too much for an "08 with pretty much 200,000 km on the odometer. I think you're spot on V70r, the R32 is a nice car but his price is a bit high.
