You were right not to get carried away and bid. Sadly online auction bidding has been great for the auction house, but not for buyers. Better luck next time.

[@nielsie86]

In big auction you can see when the people in the hall stop bidding, you saw it here as well they stopped at the true assesed value, if your online bid goes against some hall "opponent" bid then you're good to spend a little extra to secure the online buy, but ALWAYS second 3rd and 4th guess yourself because it might even be that those are the only gears working on a car you never seen.

Much respect for knowing when yere asses were kicked and especially at an auction it's not frustrating it's nearly heartbreaking when you find a gem and it goes mad like that, the market is really gone to shite

[@hanppa9017]

I don't think that the result was fail. Shows common sense and that the online auctions nowadays are crazy. Can't wait to see your E30❤

[@maxeluy]

When Alex is the person with some common sense, you know the market is f#@

[@justinbuckley]

It would be interesting to see any "failed" videos on this channel, like videos that aren't good enough for the main channel, but still worth a watch.

[@benbennit]

Well done, best lesson for anyone at an auction. The car was a possible basket case at top dolla. Max risks.

[@neraLcM13]

Really enjoyed this video. It really captured the whole auction rollercoaster of emotions. Always good to hear more knowledge and insight from Taylor on the various models you encounter. Also, thank you for shooting/uploading in 60fps, albeit a minor personal preference, I feel it also added to the rawness.

[@swivvy3037]

Why did i enjoy this video so much. Something about it being loke a "daily vlog" where nothing actualy went to plan made it still entertaining. Just to see what yous get up to on an average day

[@RAGNAAAA]

I fuckin love these auction videos alex!!! Start buying and selling together!!!!

[@JimmyJamesMarquees]

A little while back on the e30 reddit, there was some discussion on rust on e30 roofs and basically it came down to that you have to be really really careful when purchasing an e30 with a rusty roof. I didn’t believe it initially but eventually the other guy really made a good statement. Comes down to that you might need to replace the complete roof, which is incredibly hard. 10k is waaaaay too much for this car…

[@GuardiansOfNorth]

@@bigduphusaj162 I don't know about e30 pricing in the UK but at least in my country a sorted 325i mtechII e30 coupe is like 25-30 grand minimum. This car is basically a massive gamble, definitely not junk though. You might get it running for "cheap" if you get lucky and make massive profit, or you might get stuck with it and it's worthless. But then again I have no clue what these are worth in the UK.

[@jonny2legs77]

Brilliant! People bidding who haven't a clue. Payed well over the odds. No keys no logbook no idea if it runs. Good buy 😂

[@Mr.M1STER]

I think the days of getting a bargain at auction are gone with the amount of wild online bids.

Oooo, great first video on the second channel. Shame the E30 went for so much, would have been a nice addition to the channel. I’m sure another one will come around at a better price.

[@ryza2083]

@@rich_edwards79 To be fair 9 times out of ten they usually get raced because they are too unfit to go back on the road hence why they put loads of work into them from welding to new panels, but never structurally safe for the road as they are rotten. Good ones they find they usually sort out and keep. I think it’s better to have their last stretch around a track than to be weighed straight in

You can apply for a V5C at the Post Office. I don't know why there is a common misconception that it is difficult. Dodged that one, the repair and replacement bills from just their cursory inspection was making it look uneconomical. But thats the price of nostalgia today.

[@DaveVespa]

@@jerzywoking1699 you can apply for a logbook yourself with a V62. The registered keeper can say no. If their car has been repo'd they might still say no and you can't have a logbook and can't drive it on the road.

[@ericpisch2732]

As soon as you said 325i sport I said it was a 10k car all day long, prices are only going one way, every year there’s less and less and the are great for turning into competition cars. E36 prices are soaring as well. It’s almost like ICE cars are being banned and people are getting peak enthusiasts cars from the 80s and 90s whilst they still can.

You maybe can just order the key with the VIN number at the dealership (and proof of niet owning the car). Only works when the locks haven’t been changed. Did that for my E34 540i Touring, cost me €26 euro a few years ago. Good luck at the next auction!
