Default B8 4.0 Coming Through!!!

Timing isn't quite right otherwise I'd throw a bid down on this...wait a second...it says it's up for auction on August 20..??? I've never seen a car show up so far ahead of it's auction date. I'd think it'll go for big money with that much advance notice. That said, if someone buys my AMG E50 before then I'll put a bid in

Oh man, a manual B8 sedan in black with cloth seats, that is a beautiful car to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but #002 would have been the first B8 delivered to a customer, since 001 was a development car?

Maybe we should pool our money and time share?

how did #2 end up in jap country? i find that hard to believe.
sometimes they get seperate numbering (see UK for instance).
surely a nice example E36 made by ALPINA.

Default Up at 14:56 Japan time today!

Yep looks like a beauty! Original km, all manuals and full maintenance records. Negative: ceiling cloth loose, seats and steering wheel worn, drivers seat soft/small cut, paint cracked on rear spoiler, door mirrors scratched, couple small scratches and dents as on diagram, one rust spot front left panel, small chip on windshield. Any guesses on what it'll go for?

Very much to my surprise I can actually see the sold price! I thought it would sell under negotiation for sure.

Sold for just under 1.1 million JPY. I expected it to be more like 1.5, so that's a good deal IMO.

Oh wow that IS a good deal. I wonder if it's coming to Canada too.
