Since I sense a lost opportunity from a certain jalopy expert here  :stick: :stick:, I offer this very similar listing:

https://fastcarbids.com/fr/auction/df477d

Friends of mine had a silver E430 like that a few years back with the same wheels. Awesome car. They got rid of it for a slightly newer E350 which was much more boring in comparison.

That was a dumb move.

To be fair the E430 had some rust and I think a few other issues. The E350 ended up getting handed down tot their son. Now their second car is a 535i GT.  ;D

I know, I watched it live! About right at $5,600 CDN, judging by past sales for these cars. It's heading to Ontario!

This thing is trouble.

Local to me.

On Bat.

No reserve.

JDM right hand drive.

On snow tires. 11 year old snow tires.

It would make a water-cooler worthy stay-behind car.

Bidding à la Price is Right, $1, may nail this thing. Who in the US will pay for customs and shipping on this?

Blueprint, you have another chance to buy this one. It popped up on Facebook Marketplace for $8800. Seems the seller didn't follow through with the winning bidder.

I would have been interested if the price had stayed near the Brampton E320  ;D In any case, the 30 cm dump early this week reminde dme of how small my driveway is. Fitting 3 cars in there requires having one at 90 degrees, parallel to the street.

Interesting that the sale did not go through... Final bid was $4k USD at NR, so about $5,500 CDN. Looks like the seller did not honor the sale:

$8800 is an insane ask for this IMO.

Same thing appears to have happened with the E320:

A certain Vantage007 appears to want it  :stick:

Yup, the BaT sale price was in line with other X300 sales, and these were not smoked-in JDM units.

Really similar to mine, 2 years newer so it has EFI and a slightly different front nose. That's a really, really nice example too....body and interior look super mint and original. That's been in a garage all it's life.

One of four sold in Canada.  Very cool car.  Wouldn't be my first choice if I had the moola to put towards a special car, but it is sweet.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

That reminds me: Gentry Lane in Toronto had a brand new 2000 Esprit V8 sitting on the showroom floor for over 10 years. I can't recall when it eventually sold but there are forum posts from 2010 talking about it still being there.

Here's the sold listing: https://www.gentrylane.com/s/import-inventory/sold-import/2000-lotus-esprit-v8-new
