There are so many cars for sale there that you can still find a good deal there as a buyer if you have the right tastes. Last week there was an ‘89 325i with an S52 swap that sold for $10k. That seemed like a really good deal to me. Hell, if you want cheap transportation a Nissan Micra sold for like $2k, and any Japanese car with five-digit mileage is a great deal at that price. There was an Alfa Berlina in California that sold a couple of months ago for what seemed to me like a great price for the buyer. The seller was disappointed and I don’t blame him. It was a rough-looking car that was mechanically sorted and had been driven the way it was supposed to be driven for a long time. Just the kind of car I’d want if I were shopping for one. I look at the 90-series Prado auctions because I’ve driven them a fair bit and really like them; those aren’t ganga deals but they’re not overpriced either - if you want one, it would be a good place to shop and get a fair price. There are others I’ve seen recently but I can’t recall them off the top of my head. $100k for a W123 wagon is bonkers, of course.
