Cars n Bids - M540i sale

[prash]

Anyone else notice this sale? $40k for a 540i?

Even being helrot and a Canadian specification that's still an insane amount of money to spend on one.

They made 32 of these cars with the best specifications you could get on a final year e34.

People pay for exclusivity and cachet. This is not a 1 of 1 million 525i auto, sorry.

Totally agree. I get so sick of people ragging on other people's sale posts.
Even if the car is a total shitbox, the market will dictate the car's worth.
We don't need "funny guys" throwing their opinions around, making it harder for someone to sell their car.

Meh. I agree, the ‘market’ will set the price.

But from my perspective the online auction marketplace is the perfect ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’ example these days. People odometer chasing, rather than looking at a solid ownership and maintenance history, for example.

Commenting on that (and other similar auction site) behavior won’t stop, and shouldn’t make it harder for anyone to sell their car for what it is actually worth. The ‘noise’ from the auction sites themselves will always drown out that from the peanut gallery.
