for sale 1976 BMW 2002 Tii in Pasadena, CA

[Mark92131]

Year:: 1976

Make:: BMW

Model:: 2002

Price:: 26500.00

Location: : Pasadena, CA

I saw this ad and thought I would pass it along.  A 1976 BMW 2002 in Inka over Black.  I feel like I have seen this car before, out of State plates, but may be having trouble getting those dual Webers through CA Smog.  Pricey, but nice.

 

NM/NA,

Been on Ebay a few times.

The pics in this Craigslist ad are the same ones used when it was on Ebay Sep 2014 and the car was (I think) in CT.

Seller told me the following. "The plates are old Its been in California for years and has passed smog and is current."    

 

There is no way that this car will pass CA smog in its present form. Once the smog tech pops the hood open for a visual inspection, test would be over as soon as the tech sees the dual Webers.  Seller should market this car out of state. This is by far the most expensive 76 2002 I've ever seen FS in CA.  I could see this asking price if it was a 75, then it would be smog exempt.  By law, the seller is responsible for the smog test before transfer of title if the car is sold in CA. I agree it's a very nice 02 but if you live in CA, you don't want to own a 76 2002 unless you enjoy pain every smog test.

Interesting that I've never seen this car around town, since I live in Pasadena.........But smog is no worry, usually a smog tech is not familiar with a 76 2002, so passing is more about the jetting. Or maybe an alternative solution, or so I’ve been told.

 

Regardless $26.5K is a little steep

Hmmmm, wonder why the tag is CT if it's been in CA for years. When it was on Ebay 2014 is was noted as being in CT.

Aaargh!

Your facts, Les, are getting in the way of potential buyers' dreams, so they seem to be ignoring the facts!

Thanks and best regards,

Because:

 

"The pics in this Craigslist ad are the same ones used when it was on Ebay Sep 2014 and the car was (I think) in CT. "

 

Just reusing the pics from a few years ago would explain why you don't see CA plates, it could have passed smog.

 

Of course, the issue of using pictures from a few years ago leaves some open questions apart from licensing or smog.

Set aside the "passing smog" issue. Assume, for example, that the car will be purchased by someone outside California. What's important? Well, is this a California car, a Connecticut car, or a little bit of both? I generally assign a premium to California cars. Having spent 50 years in the Northeast, including 7 years in Connecticut, I will just say that I would NOT assign a premium to a Connecticut car!

This is not a CA car - it is a CT car.  I saw it at a car show in Boston in 2014.  It may have been sold (for too much) and moved to the west coast.  It's a decent car with some interesting mods but the price is way too steep.  I told the owner two years ago that $15-18k was probably fair.  He gave it to a local dealer in CT / NY who is known for inflated prices in an area which has lots of $$$.  Someone may have overspent on this and is now looking to recoup some money.
