Obioban you've direct experience with the wagon conversions, I'm currently tempting myself with a purchase on BAT…

Primarily the DSC conversion, doesn’t look like this one has mk60 just looking at the drug bin

Yeah thats the one i snoozed on.

Well... aside from the fact that the top doesn't drop, the color combo isn't all that sexy, and this automatic transmission is nowhere near as fun as "that" automatic transmission... this might work ...

All of which just shows why the other config isn't as bad as we like to pretend sometimes.

Still, write a check money for a great car as far as I'm concerned.

There are places that will store and keep the car on a tender, and even run it around for a few miles each month. But you’ll pay the cost of that car twice over again for 2 years of that service lol.

Oh yeah i know, I really should have bid on it and kept it at my aunts. Oh well too late, it went so cheap too FFFF*********KKKK. I wanted to get an SMG vert for my Better half......oh well, hopefully another one will come along.

No doubt. I learned what I had bought that 9 hour trip home, just like every other 3+ hour trip home after buying a "new to me" car. I remember when I drove to pick up my wife's Allroad, did the deal, gave her the keys and said "follow me home." We pulled in the garage and she asked, "what is this???".

"That's your car. Enjoy. It's bigger, faster and tougher than almost anything you're going to see on the road. You and the kids should be fine."

"Dad!! It's got heated rear seats!!"

🤣

These days cars show up on trailers site unseen... it's weird to me. But I just did it with another [non-runner] Allroad 4.2. It had jumped timing, so my guys pulled the engine and got it up and going for a few grand. Car is mint and I'm into it for a few grand + $500.

maw

EDIT… I know most here don’t care for SMG verts, but… https://carsandbids.com/auctions/rkg...m3-convertible … write a check and have a damned good time

Those road trips are the best though. I would definitely do that again. We did that when my wife bought her Boxster, drove it from Denver to LA the long way through all the best parts of CO/UT/AZ. Granted that car is really nice, and we did a bunch of maintenance at a local shop right after buying it, but still.
