they are wonderful cars...my guess driven real hard and put away wet...why it needs a clutch at 65K miles which is hard to believe mileage wise but possible. Rare to sell a car without putting the interior back together. One car you definitely would want to have a compression test performed on and drive before pulling the trigger.

the front door pannels have been removed and i still have them, but i would recommend replacing
Confused maybe? They look complete to me.

Wouldn't touch it without seeing it first.
Seats look completely redyed. Rubber moulding on the doors is shot. "Appears" to be repainted - wtf does that mean?
I went a looked at very "similar" car in the Seattle area for Robin before he ended up with his current ride - it was a total abortion.

I've seen those photos before, possibly from a previous sale - and not too long ago. The photos obviously don't represent the car as it is now.
Everyone would like to pick up a cheap ///M5, but a bit of history would be nice to know. To his credit the "new" seller does say that it would make a good track car.
Tread carefully - the imfamous Florida M3 from a couple of years ago springs to mind (stolen from Rhode Island, rebirthed, repainted), That seller was short on history as well. Be carefull.

I am betting it is an insurance stolen recovery car. Typically - thieves steal the car. Take the interior out - owner claims loss - gets paid. Insurance co recovers the car later. Sells it at Auction. Sometime chop shops buy the car back at auction and replace the interior then sell it clean title - or - they sell the interior back to whomever buys the car at auction. This is a possible scenario. It is one of the Chop Shop scams that they used to run a few years back - JT

Guys - that car was crashed. I read about it on another board. Can't remember the specifics, but some dude was going to buy it for $2500, made the mistake of asking some other dude to check it out for him (who ended up buying it and trying to sell it off as being a perfect car on eBay). Had been involved in a t-bone and you could see how bad the impact was - the center console was all off center. Repair was poorly done. I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot pole.
