Gorgeous CSI on E-bag

The buy it now price was mid 50's last time around... this is a re-list after a no-sale. Agree thought that it's very pretty.
 
Looks like it's a re-upholstering away from being immaculate!

That's quite a set of documents they have there. Noticed Classic BMW in Texas on some invoices, so it obviously was in a dry climate at some time, although it is surprising a Texas car wouldn't have A/C. Looks like a brand new exhaust system, good wood trim and dash, well detailed throughout, and very clean underneath. In the neighborhood of $55K seems like a fair price.
 
Main negatives are no A/C, no PW in front, lap belts only in the front and possibly no belts in the back. The belts can be dealt with so it's probably not a huge issue.

This car sat for quite some time in the low 50's approx. two years ago. It was bought by a collector who is now downsizing. Looks nice overall - I wish I liked white more on these cars. I have been trying to convince myself to like it but have not been able to.
 
If it is structuraly sound this car should have no trouble selling for 70k. If it doesn't their are issues that pictures and description don't disclose.
 
$70k? I think the issues are with the options on the car more than anything else. This car sat two years ago in the low 50's, was sold in the mid-high 40's and has been listed for sale many times since. Another silver CSi listed and sold within a week recently at a $89k ask but I think the options on that car (and overall condition) were better. Buyers are pickier above $50k (rightly so.)
 
For a lot of high dollar buyers; silver/blue, leather, AC, sunroof, non-matching engine with modern injection and more torque = big check
For enthusiast; unique colors, velour is cool, AC can be a positive or negative, slick roof and matching #s

Two years ago, you can also get a '69 Porsche 911 #2 condition for $30k.

It's possible that the white color is turning off potential buyers; or it has serious issues lurking.
 
Look closely at the body lines along the sides above the rocker trim... especially as it transitions from doors to quarter panels. Still a gorgeous coupe but probably requires a hands-on inspection. I suspect that when it finally sells it will be to someone who know the car and it's value as there are very few nice ones out there completely under the radar.

Not the original ones... the "coveted ones" do not have the 5 extra holes between the lugs. But they still look great!
 
I was the high bidder on this car - seller is holding firm at $50k. It would seem that the market does not quite agree with that valuation for whatever reason.
