1973 BMW 2002Tii on Craigslist...

[Wexler]

Price: $12500

Location: Virginia Beach, VA

Description:

No affiliation...but...I did call him...seems like a nice enough guy.  Sounds like a straight car, with the exception that he claims the injection system was replaced with a carb.  Original interior, slight bubbles in re-spray.  I have not seen the car in person.

I am only posting up here so that I don't break down and buy it myself.

Have seen this car advertised on FB was a no sale, called it a TiLie.

Same 2002 in October from previous owner. Ad title states it’s a 2002 with a motor from a Tii (carbed)

Yup that's it! Not a Tii VIN.

He had it listed on eBay for $16,750.  I asked about the VIN,snorkel and no cutout by the firewall,never heard a word.  Was listed by the previous owner as a salvaged title tii tribute car.  Fraud comes to mind.

Wow!  Amazing what some will attempt...

The Craigslist Seller in Oct '18 stated it had tii suspension/brakes and tii E12 head/distributor & tii engine 2393082. Probably the only thing on the car that was tii was the badge on the back. The motor came from a 1976 auto. He was asking $7k for the car.

The Ebay guy (someone who buys/sells cars) probably bought it thinking he had a good deal. He's come down from $17,500 to $12,500, so perhaps someone has educated him as to what he bought.

It’s hard to say where the ignorance ends and the greed begins on cases like this.

 

How hard would it have been to determine that neither of the VIN’s, the VIN 2586170 chassis or the VIN 2393082 engine, had anything to do with a tii?

It would have taken 10 seconds. If you perform zero due diligence, you pretty much get what you deserve.

 

I agree with Les, that might be an authentic tii badge.... ?
