Although it seems like a slightly bigger pain in the rear end to transact an $80k vehicle than a $12k Miata, which I would try to avoid if I could afford it.

If that surprises you, you would astounded by how many hard-money transactions occur on a regular basis.
Wiring money is pretty standard these days too.

If he's asking that much he's clearly in no hurry to sell it. If he's actually taken care of it the way he claims then the right buyer will show up eventually. Besides, I don't think you have to pitch a Maserati GranTurismo. If you know what it is, have the money to buy it, and want it, there's not much more to say besides "It's in excellent condition, come see it."

Personally I'm #1 and #3. I only wish I was #2.

Nope, he drilled into the bumper shocks and squeezed out the fluid so they compressed about 4 inches to "tuck" the aluminum bumpers into the body. Great if you want to look slightly more euro than stock, terrible if you ever tap into anything because you'll screw the unibody. I can't bitch about it too much, I scooped the foam out of my '82 Alfa Romeo's front bumper to tuck it and I haven't had any negative effects... of course I haven't taken the thing out of my mom's garage in over a year.

They're just painted metal bumpers that are tucked well. 84-87s can swap front valences/bumpers relatively easily, but rears require some cutting, and it looks awkward because the rear of the car is actually different on 88-91s.

Well, it was the lightest CRX by some margin. As such, they would be attractive for people who wanted to autocross or track the car. Besides, the HF sorta blows as a DD in my opinion; I'd rather have a loaded Si with Power Windows etc., Power Steering, Rear discs and air conditioning if I needed to drive it on the street. Track car? I'd definitely want an HF Shell.

If you're reading this ad, you're clearly a person of sophisticated tastes. You enjoy the finer things in life. You deserve the best. But you would prefer that it doesn't cost a lot of money.

And that's where I come in. More specifically, that's where the vehicle I'm peddling here on eBay comes in.

We're talking about an automotive legend. We're talking about a 1994 BMW 540i.

A quick bit of history, the '94 BMW 5 series is known internally as an E34 platform, and is known as one of the most reliable cars BMW ever built. The 540i was powered by a 4.0L V8, producing 286hp and 300 ft lbs of torque. This was mated to a 5 speed automatic transmission (or a super-rare 6 speed manual), and was good for a 0-60 sprint in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 129mph (computer limited).

Anyway, back to this particular 540i. The car is a lovely hunter green over tan leather, has power windows and locks, cruise control, power telescoping steering wheel, power moonroof, cold A/C, and a 6 disc CD changer in the trunk. The body is very solid, no dents. The interior is drat close to being excellent, even the driver's side seat shows very little wear. The rear seat is practically new.

The car has Michelin Pilot tires on it with very good tread on them, the wheels are in excellent condition. The car also carries a RI inspection current through March of 2014, which is always nice. Hell, I could technically even say the car has low mileage, since it's only been driven 11k miles a year and 15k is 'average', but frankly I'd sound like an idiot calling a car with 211k miles 'low mileage'.

The engine runs excellently, smooth and very powerful. Transmission shifts into all gears. The car drives like a BMW...the suspension is taut, the steering is responsive and nicely weighted, the brakes are smooth, and the car tracks nice and straight.

Now there are a few small flaws. That hunter green paint I talked about earlier? It's a little faded in some places. That tan leather interior we fondly discussed? There's a rip on the seam of the driver's side arm rest. Some of the stitching came apart on the steering wheel, there's a little bit of rust on the hood, and another little spot ahead of the right rear wheel well. And that's really about it.

I'm not asking much for this fine German automobile. My reserve is well under $1800, so bid it up and get it out of my driveway.

Let me know if you have any questions, or want pictures of a particular part of the car.

Sure it's an auto but if it's really going for $1800 that's a pretty good deal.

I would achieve an internet without poor people if I were rich. Less whining about being hungry and having water dripping on you. Anyway my local town had a car show and the rich guys with lambos and 427 cobras were nice enough to fire them up and scare all the old ladies if you asked. It was pretty drat cool. The old guys with MGBs and Austins were more worried about OMG don't touch it. They were complaining that grill smoke from 50 feet away was ruining the cars.

Meh, this AI so I won't derail further, but I will say in my limited experience, rich people worry just about as much as anyone else.

Aside from being evicted/being hungry they worry about the same or different things. Losing all their money, being scammed, having their companies collapse, whether their angel investments will fail, whether their employees like them, whether their kids will get cancer, whether their spouse is cheating, etc, etc.

Rich people tend to be extremely smart and hard working (at least the ones in my world, I don't know old money). They don't sit around having butlers rub their feet while they lay around in hammock.

If by "achieve anything you want" you mean "buy a 918", ya they could do that. But most of these guys are setting much more ambitious goals for themselves and busting their rear end to do it, like "take my second company public".

Losing all their money, being scammed, having their companies collapse, whether their angel investments will fail, whether their employees like them, whether their kids will get cancer, whether their spouse is cheating, etc, etc.

Rich people tend to be extremely smart and hard working (at least the ones in my world, I don't know old money). They don't sit around having butlers rub their feet while they lay around in hammock.

If by "achieve anything you want" you mean "buy a 918", ya they could do that. But most of these guys are setting much more ambitious goals for themselves and busting their rear end to do it, like "take my second company public".

I won't derail any further, but here is a bunch of bullshit about how worrying about taking your company public is just the same as losing your house or not eating.
