1973 Polaris E3 BMW Bavaria - CL Venice Beach?Marina Del Rey area

[GolfBavaria]

I just saw this ad posted. One of the nicest E's I've seen up for sale in a while just from the pics etc. - NMNA. And best year!

Someone needs to snatch this one up if is as good as it looks in ad. BMWCCA member sticker. Ad says drives owner drives it daily. Great color combo, manual, and does look very original. Worth a look for sure. No more Craigslist adsaver that I know of. If someone else has figured out a way to save ads for posterity please let us know.

(MOVING SALE) A great example of a very clean, classic and original Bavaria, these are hard to come by especially in this condition both cosmetically and mechanically. Runs and drives flawlessly....

Great photography. I like the one with the glass distorting the rear 2/3ds of the car.

its a nice looking car at a reasonable price. kinda looks like pix were taken with a phone ... and trying to be 'artsy'.

I like it. I may need someone in SoCal to look at this for me.

Cute photos...but would be nice to actually be able to see the car. Few bubbles in the fenders and doors here and there so a repaint may be in it's future.

I made contact with the seller. He was responsive and willing to have the car inspected. While the pics in the ad are"cool" they're not good enough when the asking is nearly $12K. Bubbling, mismatched mirrors, missing brake pedal rubber, if it were my car, is the kind of stuff that would drive me crazy. AC needs a "recharge" leaves me a bit doubtful. I'm gonna pass.

Yes...the pictures are terrible. But I've found that ads like this with bad pictures and a short description get passed over by most, and often the car turns out to be a bargain since there are few that actually become interested enough to follow up.

Except people who take pictures like this think their car is more valuable than it really is. I call it “Full Sentimental Value”.
