Definitely. Or maybe we can all meet at Redondo/Hermosa for a few beers some weekend and see the car and each other in person....?

I've been the correspondence dude for e36-tech for the duration, and it's been a hell of a ride! I can't wait to see Dooma's "check out my new car!" pictures!

Dooma!
Looks like you are nearly there. I look forward to hearing that South Bay have given the car the all clear and everything has worked out. Keep us posted. All the best. |

> Fil's dad owns the business right?
I believe that you are mistaken. I researched this aspect diligently, but found no data in this regard. What *data* do you have that supports your implication/hypothesis? |

Notice where the car was listed on eBay: BMW -> Other. A search for "M3" will find it, sure, but most people probably just use the links. If Husker had put it under the M3 category like it should be, it might have gotten more hits and more bids. That said, it was linked on this forum prior to close, but I think people didn't look close and just assumed that like most dealer auctions it had a reserve.

Congratulations, Ken. Glad you got your car!
Thanks for demonstrating that one person (with the support of thousands) can stand up for what is right. It does help all of us (and perhaps even this country) in the long run. FM

Funny, but I can’t help but think that noone here is a winner in this mess. Ken got the car, but the whole point of the purchase, to buy an M3 cheap, is gone down the drain. AND he said himself this may be wasn’t even a perfect car he wanted, but price was sweet thus it was enough. But with now car costing close to MSRP after the lawyer fees are counted in, which seem to be in few thousands of dollars, then I am a bit sad for the man. Then again, this is typical – it costs a lot for the little guy to stand up and speak up. I respect him for sticking to his guns and getting the car, never mind he lost money and nerves on this. Dealer also got bad publicity, probably lost money on the car (i don’t think they did, they just didnt make as much) and alienated new potential customers. Eitherway you look at this, it kind of sucks it came down to this.
I wish that Ken really loves his car when he gets it – it seems to be in great color combo, good spec, and i’m sure he’ll enjoy it immensely without regret. I have to say though .. .lawyer fees are outrageous.
