    Another Fjord on BaT

    The listing does not indicate "Alumni," so presumably not.

    Funny. I'm actually hunting for an excellent E46 M3 convertible as I type...

    '70 E9 hot rod on Bat

    Another Scuderia import offering from our young forum friend, Josh, who's a good guy continuing to learn lessons about importing and pricing in today's (BaT) market. I've seen this car in person (not driven, not crawled in/under), but it presents as the wonderful blunt instrument it is. Set up...

    1973 Fjord 3.0CS on BaT

    This result is not going to be helped along by all the shadows of tree branches EVERYWHERE on the car.

    Our friends coupe was stolen yesterday….

    Or consider a GPS tracker, which won't alert a thief's phone that an AirTag is following them. For instance, this one is $5/month, but also geofenced, which means it can alert your phone if goes outside a certain area (like your driveway), which would in theory give you more time to react...

    Instant car collection and man cave

    A scroll through the business's FB page would appear to confirm this assumption.... https://www.facebook.com/people/Parts-Of-The-Past/100057336824486

    A quick trip to Paris

    Highly recommend it in, say, April. Winter with the roof open is pas agréable. Here we are in warmer times. And don't forget to compel your significant other to re-enact your favorite scenes from Ronin.

    A quick trip to Paris

    Not a museum, but if you want firsthand exposure to a vintage car, there are lots of options for CV2 tours of Paris. It's a hoot, although the winter schedule may be a bit thinner. Here's the one my wife and I took in April...

    Fjord 1973 CSi on BaT for the 3rd time.

    Oct. 2022...back when a commenter could say "Under 90k is a deal!"

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    Just to bring this thread around to the original topic, I ran out to Josh's shop yesterday, primarily to look at the Golf CSi. He has three other Coupes there as well. Over two hours of chatting, he was kind enough to let me take some shots and share them back with the forum along with my...

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    ...and for BaT, not just to make money on the sale, but to maintain its batting average and reputation. This is probably a repost from somewhere, but if you really want to nerd out with this guy, here is his Python-enabled analysis of BaT sell-through rates. I'd love to see him re-run this with...

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    Just because it's close by and I'm curious, I'm going to run over and see the car at Josh's shop on Monday. I'll report back and post some photos. If anyone has specific requests for me to look at, let me know. He also still has "listed" on FB Marketplace a 1971 Polaris CSi...

    Coupes in Iran

    I see what you did there.

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    Josh, to second Luis's suggestion, definitely join the Fuelfed group locally and bring the E9 out to an event when we start back up in the spring. I organize the Coffee & Classics in Hinsdale three times a year, and live close to you. So if you ever want to get together IRL, PM me here. I can...

    Market for Coupes

    Hey, we'll miss seeing you in Winnetka...the Colorado location looks delightful, though. Not to encourage your selling, but I assume you saw the post from our new friend in LA, who might be shopping?: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/new-member-los-angeles.44593/#post-392547

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    You looking at pic number 4, below? I think that's either the camera position or an effect of parking on an incline on the Burr Ridge Village Center parking ramp. (Recognized from my son's frequent use of the top level as a nighttime make-out spot.) If you look at #141 and #142, the wheel well...

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    Yep, I just figured that out after he posted some more on the auction.

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    Interesting. This is one suburb away here in Chicagoland, and I've never seen it. There was one for sale up at the Werkshop in the north suburbs are few years back. I wonder if this is the same one. If anyone wants me to take a non-intrusive look at it, let me know.

    The "i" doesn't look too official, either.
