Really wow that stinks.
Probably was clown buyer had no money.
Plenty clown tire kickers......around.
good luck.
I have a 2008 m5 with 6200 miles and trying to sell and no ones goes higher then 35k.
I guess i just keep...i dont need the cash.
It’s the space i need.

Thanks. Yea, I hadn't sold anything online for a while, so I guess I let my guard down. I bent over backwards for this guy, i paid for a full inspection at Dinan and replaced all window trim. Several hundred bucks spent, but I guess it will help with the eventual sale. Totally my fault.

For what it's worth to others, I'm the one who backed out last minute. If anyone doubts my intentions, feel free to see the history of the manual M5 S3 that I lost on BAT, where I bid up to $55k. I wasn't a tire kicker, I had the money, in fact I had already placed a few trades within my investments to bring the cash into my account for this vehicle. I had something very unexpected (although I should have seen it coming) happen over the weekend, which has completely put the brakes on everything. My marriage is dissolving, it's been getting there for a long time, and I'm fine with that. My alcoholic wife however decided to go get herself a DUI this past weekend, which has accelerated the divorce process and completely clamped down finances. Believe me or not, I don't really care. If it makes everyone feel better and safer that all potential buyers are tire kickers and flakes, that's fine by me. In this instance it absolutely wasn't the case, and I have nothing to gain by going as far as I did in the process, except a guilty conscious and a lot of anger that I won't be able to get this car. It's an awesome car, and whoever buys this will be nothing but happy with it.


I apologized profusely via email to Jason for having to back out. I'll apologize again here. It doesn't make it better and it sucks that it happened. Again, I'm not looking for anything in terms of excuses to get me off the hook for backing out. I'm just stating that my intentions were good from the start, then some **** went down that screwed it all up.

Wow, now that sucks. Sorry to hear about the pothole man. I referenced that auction and watched it all the way, you're as real as a buyer gets

What year is the car?

 

[Hexley308]

It's a 2006, but the motor is 2014 with only 10k, and the CIC display, controller and system are from a 2013 donor. wheels, tires are new, radiators (Oil and coolant), exhaust, suspension, motor mounts, intakes, throttle bodies/actuators and SMG pump/relay are all from 2014.

A bit confusing, but I hope that answers the questions. please let me know if I can answer anything else.

The car is at the shop, having the trunk painted, and will go onto Bring a trailer by the end of the week. It's guaranteed to go for higher than I have it listed here.

Sweet m5. Glws!

 

[Hexley308]

Thanks all. I'll post the link here when the auction begins, so hopefully, we can watch the bidding.

 

[Hexley308]

It just got back from paint and detailing. It's breathtaking. Having professional pictures taken on Tuesday, then the games begin. Thinking about keeping a low reserve. This should be fun.

 

[Hexley308]

OK guys. BaT said that too similar of a car closed too recently, so it's up on eBay there were some pics that didn't get listed, so this thread will be like a "Director's Cut", I'll Post pics in s few minutes, and here is the current listing:

Good luck, and of course, let me know if you have any questions.

 

[Hexley308]

I think I broke the internet because these pics look too good. Been getting the Bad Gateway error all day, so shoot me a note, and I'll send the pics if you want them, or until things get fixed. jason_cox@mac.com

Thanks,
Jason

 

[Hexley308]

Ok, this should work...

Did the car ever sell?
