Wonder why this car is not getting a lot of bids?

It's been relisted again too - 10000 miles - seems legit - great color too - I'm surprized! I thought it'd go well in the 20K's - I guess we'll see what it sells for. But these low milage 02's are pretty non-existent.

I would say It's probably they all think its a scam due to the fact that the person that listed it has 0 feedback... Never a good idea to sell a car as the first thing you do on ebay!

First - it ain't a '70. The VIN might be from a 70, but the car in the pics is a 75 or a 76.

The wheels are the E30 "bottlecap" wheels. Those aren't original.

I don't believe the odometer. Mine currently reads 665. I guess that means it is worth more than this car. Or maybe I had NH Speedo reset it to zero when I had them re-calibrate for the new diff I put in the car.

Plus - he says the reserve is +20 K.

Don't get me wrong - it looks like a nice car - but not 20K nice.

It's been for sale for a while. The guy wants silly money for it. The other big reason other than those listed above and it being a big bumper car, is that it has been repainted. Original cars in outstanding original paint tell the story about how a car has been cared for. It is highly prized by serious car people. I recently sold a really outstanding original 635CSi and it brought a 30-40% premium as a result of having the original paint and body panels.

because it has dimples.

Well, I had to write him a question to see why it's titled as a70. We'll have to wait and see what he says about that.

I see it titled as 76, I don't see where he says this particular car is a 70.

Maybe the reference to another 2002 "A 1970 2002 with 18500 orig miles sold for $37500 last November." ???

Clearly is advertized as a 76, no?

[Kidasters]

You are right - he says it is a 76 in the title of the auction, and just references the 70 because of the high price.

Still - +20 K for a 76 seems too high!

[ThatGuy]

My bad, I see it now.

I was wondering the same.

I think the pictures on his auction just don't capture the condition of the car. There should be close ups of the rockers, door latches, glass rubber, seats, and at that milage, the clutch, brake, and gas pedals. He needs to show areas of wear that are like new. I'd forgive the bottle caps but he needs the original wheels to get the price he wants to be included in the auction. I still think 20K is high.

sure its high. i hope he gets it. with the cost of parts you cant build a decent car for less. i wish i only had 20k into mine.

[jrkoupe]

If its the real deal......

I dont think 20k is silly money....its a bit hi...but not really all that much....

I would think he can get 13-15k ish all day long.....

[HBChris]

I would hope an educated buyer would understand that a title document is not a confirmation of actual miles. Maybe the seller thinks that is what he bought but it is highly unlikely, especially with 5 digit odometers. Here in CA you can enter any mileage you want on the transfer docs.

dimples, dimples dimples dimdimpdimples!

Actually, I'd think that was an 8k car, tops.

Higher in the rust belt, but not by more than a few k.
