Pictures taken 50 feet away, at dusk in low light, and no interior or engine pics. If the seller had posted snapshots from a drone at 1500 feet they couldn't have been much more useless.

I love the first line: "email your offers". Here's my offer, take a fucking photography class and then put it on ebay if you want offers.

Maybe because the body is in such a great shape?
At least there is always fresh air coming from the floor panels.

Love this color combo.... this one has low miles, looks in great shape and everything BUT it has a salvage title.... its funny how seller plays it down as if the status wouldn't affect its value.
Buy it now price: $14,500 :roll:
It was issued a salvage title years ago in Arizona but only from slight bumper damage. It was bumped into by a car that had been bumped into. The resulting damage was a cracked bumper but do to the high price to repair and the low book value at the time it was cheaper for the insurance company to issue a salvage title, there was no body or frame damage.

I'm actually surprised it's been bid up that high.

Original owner 528e/auto in the South Jersey area. Some interior pics would go a long way in helping their sales effort.

Looks like a clean car.

Yeah, super clean; this one and the silver car a couple posts above really stand out with their Cardinal interiors, which I love.

However I'm always skeptical about sellers' lack-of-rust claims, which is a pretty subjective call. "No rust problems" isn't the same thing as "no rust" and certainly doesn't mean "rust free".

Please explain why Chris. Is a salvage title that detrimental in terms of getting the car plated anywhere in the USA? Tedster.

After hearing multiple stories from others who have had mixed success, it is not a straightforward process in NY. A recent story in the Genesee Chapter Roundel a guy took over 6 months to register an e39 touring with a salvage title even though it had been titled in another state and had been repaired and running legally for some time.
