Hey Bahnstormer I'm doing the happy dance

[Gayle]

We sold the Lip

After a mere 5 days of struting his stuff at the corner (we were a little later than planned getting him out cause we discovered we had let the registration lapse), he attracted two different fellows who wanted to make him their own. I am happy to say, he went to the one that I thought would love him more.

To those of your who have not been formally introduced to him, he is the one on the left. A fine specimen of a 1990 525 with only 200,000 miles on him.

I have already started to doing shopping for Charlie who will be the recipient of the Lip's adoption fee. Charlie has been patiently waiting her turn and now she will be getting the love.

Is the second picture saying you got $4,500.00 for The Lip?

"I am happy to say, he went to the one that I thought would love him more."

I'm always happy when a sale turns out like that. In my case, my uncle was looking for such a buyer and he found me. I'm glad you found a good buyer Gayle.

[Gayle]

Yep

Congratulations,

Nice to see there exists a healthy market (at least when you are)

I'm sure we'll be informed as to what the proceeds manifest into.

Later,

Dave M

wait a sec, what?... $4,500 for a 1990 525i with 200K?? wow... that's awesome!

I wonder how much I could get for my 95!

The Lip has always exuded automotive sex appeal. In some weird way I liked the way he looked better than Charlie, his fraternal twin. After I detailed him and had his engine steam cleaned, he was one hot looking fellow. An he was running pretty well too by the time we put him on the block.

We live in a beach town where there is a lot of local traffic on the way to the beach. We put him out on the corner of the school ground on weekends and left the doors unlocked. In spite of the dissing I got about the interior from UKM5 the interior looks fabulous. People would sit in him and get that "I have to have this car experience."

Put a number of copies of a "sales brochure" in him and we had 3 people very seriously interested in him--one last weekend and two this weekend. The brochure dealt with what it means to own an e34 and how to put his mileage into prospective. It dealt with everything a person would ask on the phone so mostly the people had already talked themselves into buying when they called. I was going to attach it but it is on my computer at work. Will share it tomorrow.

The final ultimate weapon is my charming husband who is a professional salesman. Oh, yes, doing the happy dance.

Son of a gun, your husband is one hell of a salesman!

Good one Josh.


That is close but not quite it. A little too aerobic. You got to picture the shoulders bouncing side to side and singing a little tune.


I lost my file of stuff like that when I got a new computer at work. I'll see what I can come up with.
