That's been on sale on Ebay for over a year with the price reducing each advert placement

Perhaps the wrong strategy of the seller. A sportscar dealer friend of mine sometime does it the other way around. A car initially offered at a moderate and very competitive price is raised significantly in price, if it does not sell fast. Interestingly, as he says, the interest is often higher if a car is then priced above average. And actually also sold at nearly the higher price, in any case above the original price.

Cheers, Bernhard

Did all of you just see the one that sold on BAT yesterday? USD $75,000. The car had 9,000 miles, but needed a few things underneath. WOW!

I am becoming rich

Cheers, Bernhard

I see BB you are still searching for one.
I will never forget when you took me for a drive in London. One of the best drives I have had with the music playing in the car.

I used Google Translate on Hobie's reply, ... computer said "no".

Oh, don't worry about it... I think he just had one Bavarian Beer more than usual
As far as I can translate, he said: nice car!

I failed as well, in the attempt to have it translated to German .

So many words in an unknown language, translating to the two words "nice car" only? Seems to be a quite ineffective language ....

P.S.: Most Bavarian beers are not strong enough to create strange languages, similar to most British beers, the latter additionally missing a significant head on the beer ....

Rog, was it 'just' an 850?

Yes, it was a 1991. Here is the link: https://bringatrailer.com/list…l&utm_campaign=2021-02-03

I just wonder about the repairs done, among others the brake rotors were replaced. This would seem strange to me with a 9k miles car, except if the car had been standing in water. At least this would be something I would inquire about.

Aside this, how well established is an alleged sale at BAT? Might it be that some guys had "bidding fun", but will for sure not pay anything?

Cheers, Bernhard

Hello Bernard,

BAT is set up so that the winner is automatically billed 5% for the winning bid, up to a maximum amount of $5000 if I remember correctly. When you register to bid at BAT, you provide bank and credit card information. Believe me, they do get their money, no matter if you follow through on your purchase or not!

I'm in minor shock at all the replies here. Activity like this not seen since the headbanging days of the early 10's.
When people come here in 600 years time, several among us now will still be here, ossified & slightly crumbling at the edges like that Knight guarding the inner temple in the 2nd Indiana Jones film.

Timm, cheers. I was wondering if I had noticed it before. Too expensive to merit a thread probably. I thought what the heck & wanted to test everyone's alertness etc
Rog, was it 'just' an 850?
Andre, good to hear from you. The search is tilting at windmills to some extent ...while I'm waiting for my own car to resurface at which point I will spring into action.
We're still one Sandwich short of a picnic, however. Hoping he's in fine fettle.

Good grief BB.....We're all breathing by the sound of it.
All chipper with me. Now retired and moved to the Scottish Borders last week so at the moment fighting the recent Arctic deluge.
Still dream of returning to the E31 fray but to be honest I haven't seen anything that really inspires any confidence sub £20k. Currently the proud owner of a Volvo V90 which ticks a lot of old fart boxes but is as dull as dishwater.
Hope everyone is OK and enjoying the delights of the 8 series.
Will endeavour to try and revisit more often!

In the interests of continuity have popped a pic of the old girl back up!
