Much like Buick Regal T-types, they were not put on this earth to look cool, they were put on this earth to lay black 11s everywhere.

Maybe (if the paint isn't as bad as it looks in the low lighting), but you do not want an 86. It's got the 2.7L eta engine which is awful.

My high school ride was an alpine white E28 528e and this is 100% a fair statement. Redline was hilariously low (like 4700 RPMs or something) but it developed decent torque. Handled amazing and gave me a never ending love for them regardless of stupid issues like guibos and switches that only worked occasionally. Wait to find a 325i or something better if you want a BMW of that vintage.

I wonder if that's the guy on r3v who was offering to import them? Tourings have just become legal for import so you'll see a flood because wagon and e30.

They're all going to be overpriced as poo poo too. Hell, I can see rust in the first auction picture on that one.

People like to play lawyer in their auction descriptions, but there's also quite a large number of winning bid defaulters it seems. I saw the same Toyota come up like five times in a row after the winning bidders bailed.

Not sure that what you type in an ebay item description is legally binding in any way, but I would imagine not.

It's not. eBay's rules are what count, everything else is jibber-jabber. Most auctions are caveat emptor, but they have different allowances for cars and real estate. For example, if you win an auction, get to the car, and determine that it won't pass inspection in your state, you can withdraw. Saved my rear end when I flew to Atlanta to pick up what turned out to be a jacked-up Boxster S that the seller straight up lied about. There's no way it would've pass safety and emmisions in VA, so eBay voided the transaction and made the guy give me the deposit back.

It was a huge pain and took months to sort out, though.

Also, for being very negotiable on the price, he seemed to want exactly what he posted it for.

The running boards aren't factory as far as I can tell, but the bed (and bed height) are. The frame is so tall that the bed has to be that high.

It's a little bit better in an E30 because they're about 400lbs lighter but yeah. Unless you're planning on making a M20 stroker or swapping the engine out entirely there really isn't a point in getting an 86, especially a stripper sedan.
