other What's The Best Deal You've Ever Seen For An '02?

[Preyupy]

I'm going to say <$10,000 for the Turbo 12 years ago was my best deal then came the restoration $$$$$$

[MrForce]

Picked this up about 3 months ago. Stored for over 15 years. Bought it sight unseen for $1000. Tires popped on the flatbed. Got it running with used plug wires and a gatorade bottle as a fuel supply. Water pump frozen solid, clutch and brake hydraulics are next.

My 1975 (original owner) BMW 2002 with a bad transmission for $1300 was my best deal to date.  I bought a used 4 speed from a board member for $50 and it was back on the road the next day.

Well, I got my 2002ti for free, but it was in a bad state.

$300 last November.  Rebuilt the starter, replaced a couple of gallons of bad gas and.... voila!  Now the work begins.

Free!  1972 Touring that was my Dads and "lost" for 20 years only to have it returned last July.   

[Free76]

Like Cyclone101 I got my 76 2002 free but in a bad state.  But hey, I'm learning how to do body work.

Lots of long term storage on this topic! 

 

Mine is a 2002ti 1969, stored for 20 years. Frozen engine but not bad overall.  Purchased for $2,000 and back on the road after 2 years.  Not the best deal but it's a ti 

 

Others:

 

2002ti rusted and dented.  Re-sold and rebuilt to perfect condition by the new owner.  Priceless

 

Auto running part car $150.

Well, I've had several awesome deals:

Free 1974 tii with 24k miles on it...sat in a garage in Detroit since 1979....

1974 tii that I bought at a car auction for $50 - Pontiac, MI

1967 1600 that I bought off Ebay for $106.50....no pictures....the guy won it in a poker game and couldnt sell it on his used car lot.....it had about $8000 worth of new parts in the trunk (no key) still in their boxss and bags - Cleveland

1972 I bought off ebay back in 2000....Derby, NY.....$125...ended up driving it back to Michigan

I could go on with the other 83 cars I've bought since 1999.....I haven't paid over $700 for any of the 87 cars I've owned...

My current 1974 restomod was purchased from a guy in Columbus OH....he got it from T.C. Kline of Kline Motorsports....I paid $500 for the car and he even trailered it to my house.

500 Benjamins for my Rhiannon, 76 Golfie original paint, lots of details but for once I reached daily driver status and dont need a paint job. My first was a $375 Pic-n-pull find, 3 month build including paint, 75k miles later sold for $4500, been hooked ever since, of course I broke my neck in the back seat of the original beast but thats a hole nother story. Love it

Well, I can't beat LJtii's story, but I bought my '71 1600 in 1979 in LA from the original owner.  Shortly after I sold it in 1986, the local sheriff's office called me and told me they found my car.  "My" car?  The buyer had never re-registered the car, and it was found abandoned by the side of the road.  The sheriff impounded the car, and put it up for auction.  I went to the sheriff's auction sale, got there early, and found my old hide-a-key in the rear bumper.  The car started right up.  I bid $300.00, and drove the car home.  Had it another 10 years after that.

Sounds like a great deal, even earned some bank!

we (by we, I mean me) just found two 71 4sp rust buckets for $1000 in north bay area of california.  one had no motor and a big rust hole under the driver seats with hood and deck lid good for making tin cans out of... the other is more promising but both likely to get fiberglass body parts  - two years ago I found an "almost running" good restoration project for $2200 (*talked down from 2500) also a four speed and came with some extra parts - Ive caged that one and now it's pretty  - one day I will figure out how to post pictures but if it makes it to the brisbane show some may see it there
