The 3.2 sold for about $5000.
Either the thing was a wreck, or someone got a steal. |

Huh? What I saw was highest bid was about $5000, but it didn't sell
The 3.0 though...Such a low price! There was a E46 B3 last night too and it sold for almost a million JPY. If you bought that E36 B3 3.0 you'd have it on the road (on the west coast) for less than $7,000 |

The site I'm looking at indicates they both sold...cheaply!
Maybe the 3.2 didn't actually sell though. I guess we'll know next week if it comes up again. |

I stand corrected! Maybe I was just wishing it said unsold so I could have a chance to bid on it next week I did somewhat contemplate bidding on the car even though I have absolutely nowhere to keep it. The thing that really held me back was the 'R' grade. They can be completely fine or they can be a disaster. With a B grade interior it was probably ok, but i guess I'll never know for sure

The downside to the Tourings is they are really expensive when new, so resale is higher than it should be. The X1/X3 is probably the better buy for the $ Quote:

Scott gave me a translation on the 3.2:
7083: Trunk floor is bent, undercarriage scratched, no "interior finishings" in the trunk, wood paneling cracked, dash has glue marks on it, ceiling cloth loose. Bilstein coilovers. Yup, looks like somebody did ok. |

Yikes. I'd be worried about that trunk floor. That might not be easy to fix.

Not a good sign, but the 3.2 is back at auction if anyone wants a second chance. I'm guessing it will sell for more. It's at HAA Kobe which I've had terrible luck with. I wouldn't recommend bidding on it unless you have someone go look at the car.

Sorry, but why would this have been re listed so quickly? What problems did you have with Kobe?

Because someone is trying to sell it for more than they bought it for. It seems to happen a lot at this particular auction house. Someone buys a car at a small auction house and gets a good deal. It shows up again at a bigger auction house with more exposure and will sell for more. I think it sold for 46x,xxx JPY, so I expect the seller will now have a reserve around 600,000 JPY.
HAA Kobe is a big auction house, so it seems that they don't go as detailed on the auction sheets as other places (eg. items that should be noted are not). Of course when I bought cars from there in the past I was using a different exporter. Brave Auto is much more detailed than my old exporter. |
