This ad appeared on page 25 of this months Sports Car Market magazine. Now at a dealership in Poulsbo, Washington. I applaud them in trying to hold up the (2022) values on nicely restored E9's.
Lite details are here: https://www.sclauto.com/sales/

This was recently on BAT? Maybe they are flipping it?

Same seller

Same seller

Yes. It was on BaT in June, with "sclauto" listed as the seller. Bid to $101,973 but failed to meet its reserve. Now SCL is asking $18 less and probably wishing they had set the BaT reserve lower.

I applaud them in trying to hold up the (2022) values on nicely restored E9's.

It sold for $146,000 in October, 2022 on BaT. Have e9 prices really declined by that much over four years? I understand that two transactions do not define a market, but the difference between $146K and $84K is significant.

If I were in the market for a car I would seriously think about this one - saying for those who haven’t seen it. It’s a beautiful car and as I am spending time renovating/upgrading mine there are times I think “maybe I should have just bought a completely finished one if I could find it!” This would be that one. Upgraded in many ways

could you find a slightly better car - MAYBE? a more original - sure ... but finding a more beautifully + correctly put together car - good luck. its all done, and done extremely well.
