I Might Be an 8 Owner soon
 
My friend in Santa Cruz, Ca works for a place that recently bought a repoed a 91 Silver/Black 6Spd 850Ci. His boss said he'll sell me the car for 4000. It has under 100k and all maintenance records and runs like new. Has a crack in the center console area and needs exhaust work. But within the next couple of weeks, I might be driving this beauty! I'll post pics and info sometime this week if I get it.. this is a deal too good to pass up :P I don't think I'll keep the car but rather sell it and make a profit :P I say this now, but once I drive that big old V12 I might think differently haha...

This would be a major celebration for me! :drummer :guitarist

Sounds like a deal to me!

jrhaile 05-21-2005 11:06 PM

Terry,

any problems with your car that I should look out for? Any other info?

TerryY 05-21-2005 11:11 PM

Read the buyers guides here:

I think I would hit it for that price if it has a clear title and no substantial body damage. Sheet metal is real spendy and hard to find.

damn I am so jealous!!! Youre lucky man!

I know, I got hooked up. Nice having this connection. They roll in cars like this all the time. Silver on Black w/a 6Spd :P can't beat it haha.. I'll probably roll it in and drive it for the summer and then sell it. Maybe a few grand off of it. These cars sell for over 12k all the time on ebay and some around 20k. But it's also such a collector's item that it would be hard to get rid of :( David, when I get it I'll for sure come meet you in Bellingham and go drive around in it haha

jrhaile 05-22-2005 02:08 PM

haha looks probably a lot like your sig Sphuz :P

witeshark 05-22-2005 07:35 PM

So sweet! Every time I see an 8, I gotta spend about 10 minutes checking out :lol people are gonna think I'm trying to figure out how to jack it :lmao :spin

Spieluhr 05-22-2005 07:42 PM

dude. a deal like that is amazing. even with the little work you might have to do to it, 4k for a 850Ci with a SIX SPEED is incredible.

TerryY 05-22-2005 07:48 PM

There are folks working on a meet down there.

You could probably run out of Drool at the one we are having up here in August. We are up to 42 cars.

We had 82 in northern California 2 years ago. 76 in this photo :)
