Never have seen one of these. Pretty odd place to be advertising an old Alpina car too.

Hopefully this is the right section to post this in..

Seattle. Redmond. Same thing, it's all but a 10 minute drive if you're lucky with traffic.

The car really does look neglected for such a specialty car. Seems odd that an enthusiast oriented car has been abused like this, but it's definately not the first example of a car like this that has been.

You didn't read the ad where it said it was in Canada. Lol. Same thing though I'm sure.

Cars from Japan are not taken care of.

Nahhhhh jeebus. I should have assumed they were going to delete it or something was going to happen. Dead thread is dead.

Here's the ad from Portland, since that's right next to where the car is.

I'm still not seeing where it's claiming to be in Canada. However, yes it's not titled in the states. Wonder where this thing actually is.

The fact it's not titled in the states and "easily registered in Washington state" would seem to imply it's in Canada....

Previous ad for the car mentioned Canada. I saw the word Canada somewhere. Either way, like you say, the paperwork is in disarray.

If it's so easy to get a title, do it. Then sell it. Replace the bulbs.

So, there was a time before, rook's time, and now the leading in Portland. That makes it the turd time.

Sorry, bad joke. Now the thread is dead.

Have we not learned from our mistakes? What if this disappears forever? How will we ever see how bad of a deal this is? Ohhh the sea manatee.

1988 BMW Alpina B11 3.5 - like 735i - $11450 (Redmond / Mercer Island)
Image
1988 Alpina B11 3.5 #223 of 332 - BMW e32 chassis like 735 / 750i but built and tuned by legendary BMW tuning firm Alpina

Recently imported from Japan. Starts right up and runs well. Has not seen regular use since the 1990's. Relatively low miles - 160k kilometers / 100k miles. Exterior is nice with original paint and graphics - looks great from 5-10 feet. Up close there is some missing clear-coat near the washer nozzles on the hood and the roof has some oxidation. Interior is in good condition with clean dash, nice headliner and door panels and modest wear on the front seats. Wood near the shifter could use some oil / refinish. Both front seats are slightly out of alignment - in need of 'BMW seat twist' cable repair.

New Toyo Proxes T1 in the proper Alpina sizes 235/45x17 and 265/40x17 due in 09/23/2016 - TruLine will install and align.

Issue - right rear power window inoperable. Assorted bulbs need to be replaced.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_7_Series_%28E32%29

Not currently titles in the USA. Being over 25 years old - exempt from FMVSS and EPA easily registered in WA state. All US Duty paid and ready to register with included forms HS-7 / 3520-1 / 7501 & Japanese de-registration (like title).

If this posting is still up, it's still available.
