2800 cs BMW CCA
Yes, it is sold. The owner emailed me today (after getting back in touch after 20 years, we are planning a drive in our M coupes) since I was trying to talk him out of selling it. He sold it to the first person who came to look at it for the asking price of $18K (this is for reference). The new owner came to examine it for several hours; he was an out of state engineer who has owned Ferraris in the past (365, Dino) and had been looking all over the country for an e9. Interestingly the previous owner sadly alluded to club members who get others to inspect e9s remotely (perhaps you p), commenting that unless the inspector knows e9s they may not know the quirks. He wasn't at all angry or upset, but actually sad that you missed out; he was truly sad to see his old friend go.
I do not know who is the best person to inspect an e9. Members on this board are certainly the most knowledgeable and can help someone avoid the bondo bombers and repainted rattle canned rust bombs, but sometimes are a bit harsh on nice, but not perfect cars. I think I would ask the hack mechanic (not that he volunteered); he seems to have the best perspective.
Anyway, I hope the new owner joins the board; he sounds like an interesting fellow.
