LOL it's the EXACT same price it's been for months but now they've stuck a "limited time offer" red starburst on the picture. Limited time, as in only for the last umpteen months, better act quick! Or not.....it'll be sitting there for months more. The mere fact it's been sitting for a year says the price isn't right.

At $10K I'd start considering it for a winter beater.

Would something like this be considered a good buy? I never knew this style 5 series came as an Alpina.

Beautiful, but that cost of entry doesn't include access to the rides with those leak down numbers and other issues. Still a steal imo

Would be around $25k to redo the motor and might as well update the turbine to something more modern.... Will be quite the ride for under $100k... Cooler than a 997 TT for sure.

If these are your thing... This is the pretty cool. Under 10k Km's.

Don't know much about these Porches but looks like a good example

Lame time capsules... I think finding these are cool. Unwanted, Regular cars that are being sold off by our dying/dead Grandmas and Grandpas. I feel that sitting / driving in these pristine regular cars from the 80's/90's is a much more special and rare feeling than the cars 80% of Revscene are modifying.

If I ever won the lottery, I would have a museum of Super low KM, Pristine examples of regular cars from the simpler times. The most boring museum ever to most people, but the coolest feeling to some.

Where cars like these would be polished & preserved Lol.

A familiar face..didn't know it has a rebuilt title though.

thumper 07-26-2016 07:04 AM

maybe it's because i'm dirt poor but i just don't understand why prices are like this... foreign investment from china perhaps?

Doubt it given their poor taste. They'd rather be buying newest Ferrari/Lamborghini and wrap them up.

it dosen't have the original wheels and the front bumper has poor color match so not sure...

Yeah that Millenia is a time capsule car. It would embarrass some of our lease returns!

Standup post. Agree with your point about finding cars that 80% of RS wouldn't touch.

Funny how a regular (and disposable) car can resonate with someone on such a believable level.

----

For the Millenia S, from what I've read, parts are extremely hard to find for them. I wanted one for the longest time but settled on my Supercharged Buicks instead for reliability and parts availability. One of mine being a time capsule.

That said, I'd still jump on this one and drive it sparingly.

Hondaracer 07-26-2016 03:37 PM

what was the deal with it?

i emailed them about it just curious..

obviously a place like that would part out or rebuild a car if they could, but structurally it looks alright?

snowfarmer 07-26-2016 04:09 PM

So much want for this car! Rare, cool and loaded with options. JB4 tune, an intake and exhaust and oh boy!

For sure the price is on the high end, auto trans sedans with similar km are going for $15-$18K. It's cool but he's gonna need to find the right buyer (or an american buying wiht $USD.....)to get $26K

i remember seeing that for sale 5 years or so ago, for 35k. still a little out of my price range but that has got to be one of the most perfect vehicles
