I like the car basinbeater, it sharp. Everybody should have a convertible once in their lives, all the better if it’s a Beemer!
U should probably put some tags on it before you drive it around any more though, no?
Uh yeah. Got pulled over for that north of Phoenix. He let me go. Super chill cop.

Is the E30 auto? I have a new shift knob might fit it. Yours if you want it-need it.
E30 convertible is great car.

Manual with limited slip diff. It also has recent Bilstein b8 (sport) shocks, h&r sorings, and St sway bars. So it rallies in the twisties. It as fun approaching Lee's ferry, and going by Jacobs lake today.
The sport shocks are too stiff for my taste. What’s it need?

My 540 has them in front, and the rears ought to be here Monday. The fronts are a little harsh on some Bigg hits in that car.
Car needs new seat upholstery. But I did that on the last one, and it wasn't too expensive, and came out great. Um, a wheel bearing has the beginnings of a whine in back, so that will need to be done. Clutch is newish, kid had most of the mechanical stuff pretty well sorted. Car really drove well and was fun to drive. Top is in great shape.
Big dent in front hood means needs a different hood.
So wheel bearing, seats, hood. That's it for the big stuff, aand there is a small handfull of small items to sort. Stereo install for sure.

The stereo is for the wife's Coldplay collection?

I've done OK on CL. Bought a 66 (pre CBS) Super Reverb in great shape, sold some worthless skis for $25, a sailboard, sails, masts, booms for a tiny fraction of what I paid for them but cheaper than taking it to the dump. No one wants sailboards--except the guy I sold the stuff too who has absolutely no idea how to use it. My wife sold my BIL's SUV for a good price. It's not hard to tell the scammers.
I'm trying to sell a car on CL, but it wont accept my credit card for the $5. Might have to move on to newer better sites.Quote:

Facebook's Marketplace has become kind of obnoxious too, though. It's become much harder to find REAL private sellers as it's evidently been overrun by wholesalers. It's out of hand. At least CL has an option to select All/Owner/Dealer, even though that's also swamped with shady wholescammers.Quote:

Story time -
My poor old mom wanted to buy a Crv off the ol' list. She sent me the link and asked if I could help her look at it.
The add had a very vague description, decent price, email only, and fucking stock photos of a crv (wtf?). It SCREAMED scam, so I told her I didn't think it was legit.
She replied with 'oh, they emailed me back to meet up!"
I was shocked and concerned. I went, and turns out it was legit, just a super elderly couple that didn't own a camera. She ended up getting the car from them too, nice people.
Tldr scam wasn't a scam. What are the odds
100%, apparently.
But hey, the knew how to email and use CL. Even us old folks can learn to use technology, sometimes.Quote:

They wouldn't do that, they're cool without it.

Turns out the big dude is the one who is looking at the bike, which is clearly too small for him. I let him ride it around a parking lot while his buddy tells him it looks great and he should get it. After a few minutes, he says OK he'll buy it - but he has no cash, can I take a check?
I say uh, no, cash only, sorry. He says no, I'm good for it - here's my driver's license, google me. I look up his name - turns out he's the managing partner of an absolutely enormous hedge fund that manages billions and billions of dollars, very well known in those circles.
I took the check. It cleared. The bike barely fit in the back of the beat-up Audi.
Moral of the story: hedge fund billionaires can be hard to distinguish from sketchy scammers sometimes.
Here a tip: reverse image search any pics on google for something you might buy. Fine if they say stock image, but lots of times I’ll respond to an ad that’s seems legit only to have it be fake. lifted images off someone’s real ad an easy giveaway.
That's awesome. A big-shot hedge fund manager driving a beat-up '90s Audi and buying used MTBs off craigslist is one of the more baffling things I've heard in a while.Quote:

Google the Wired article from a few years back. I think he left Belize, but who the fuck knows.Quote:

It’s like the guy who was selling Copper four packs on the last weekend of the season for full price, and refused to budge on price. OK.
Seriously?
