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.

CHEVROLET Z28 CAMARO


100K Km's EF Hatch.

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

http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5682637218.html

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.

Also, if you're into these... another time capsule

http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5701215081.html

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.

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

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

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.

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?

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
