US Import? Better get the VIN and get whether the engine had been changed.

I would guess JDM import with that mileage. Pretty average for a JDM import and there are tons of LHD German imports in town; weren't required to be RHD in Japan, and they got a lot of cool models that never came to NA.

Let's get this straight... for another $6,000 you can get a newer model M3 with a few thousand more KM AND a proper transmission.

In what way is your buddy's car a "good buy"?

I thought it is a US import because the picture is no where in kits.. more like somewhere across the border. Also JDM import won't have ownership information.. for 3 owners that will mean North American owners + JDM? that's a lot of owners.

pretty damned good deal for that 840ci. the better daily driver than the 850i. slightly better interior, more reliable / modern V8 and bigger brakes as well (for some weird reason... four pot brembos stock)

one thing i remember that would cost an arm and a leg is overhauling all the bushings for the suspension. especially the rear.

still a good cruiser nonetheless.

Other than the Nickel Sil problem (hence need to do the VIN check).. 850 handles better but well V12 is still a V12 ;)

Bushings and don't forget the 5+ motors in the seats.. those will need to be replaced.

Good point, yes. Also noting that the car is on the water in Kits therefore wealthy owner, potentially has a few cars and this is a true weekend car hence the low mileage? I know there are houses in that neighbourhood with carousel garages under the waterfront homes :awesom:

yep. the alu sil / nikasil motor thing. A good portion of those cars have had their motors replaced already, since it was a campaign recall for a free motor... all M60b30 and b40 motors.

the 840Ci I had was a fairly decent car, just some extremely tired bushings and suspension. great cruiser and sounded wonderful with muffler delete :megusta:

the E31's were more of a cruiser than a sports car!

2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS

Been on sale for 2 months... looks like a decently clean RS and the cheapest one currently on CL. I'm guessing the title is not so clean.

might be a repost because the ad is old. not sure if this a good deal or not because it is not 100% finished and needs work. i've been out of the loop for a long time but i've never seen a b18c1+4wd cr-v driveline (5spd!) before... i sure hope he dosen't drive around with just an open throttle body :o

what is it like? badass or ghetto frankenstein?

^ Would love to rock that Wagovan...the fact that there are still so many around is a testament to them.

But $6500? Surely he's gotta budge. Lots of work put in but hard to justify getting your money back on such an old car, especially considering it still needs to be completed with the driveshaft, door panel fixed, alignment, needs new seats, speakers installed, wheels in the pic aren't included etc etc

just curious but how much do you figure it's worth?

i was googling this and came across this awd K24... so many possibilities:

1990 honda civic wagon K24-awd build... - Honda-Tech

Not sure, never looked close. He always just rips by my house and i see it.
Not in the pics, but he added on some boso exhaust pipe that sticks up. It sounds like shit lol

Sweet find! Such a cool project car, seems affordable too since there are so many interchangeable parts out there.

Hard to say, I feel like $6500 would be the price if everything was in order more or less. Seems like he'd be willing to negotiate, wouldn't want to insult him though with all the hard work. I feel like it would sell in the $4500-5000 range as-is.

But also good point, if it was done well or frankensteined together; with all the aftermarket parts you could be constantly tinkering and adjusting.

AHHH i remember it now, not that many cars with the exhaust pipes that stick up...i see this guy on the Mary Hill Bypass on my way home every now and then.

Pretty sweet looking but yeah that exhaust is just butt fugly :heckno:

ugh why... that's just asking for a Box 2. Crappy tire would have a field day doing the inspection on it :o

hm. a "shell" is this much (some assembly required lol): http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rch/cto/5035177474.html
