Dam this winter came early! And I have no where to store my 850, so I guess we'll see if we can find it a better home.

I bought my dream car two years ago from the Copart auction in Los Angeles. I live in Green Bay, so it was just based on pictures and no description. It was a 'Rebuilt Salvage' Car originally from Alabama. Apparently California doesn't recognize other states 'Rebuilt Status' so it came to me with a Salvage title and I had to have it Wisconsin Inspected, which we did no problem.
So currently it is licensed as rebuilt salvage. Check your states laws, but CA would require their own inspection, again...

Currently it has a Check Engine light that comes and goes and a clutch that will need replacing soon.
The clutch releases with the pedal all the way 'up' and if it was a mechanical linkage I would adjust it a little looser, but alas it's Hydraulic and not adjustable as far as I can tell.
If you try for a 'quarter mile blast' sometimes it'll slip when you hit 3rd, other times it'll hold tight and you can run it up over 100 MPH no problem.
Drive it like an adult and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it to Texas tomorrow, but it will need a clutch soon.
My plans are to put a Clutch in and a set of Syncros in the trans (2nd gear isn't as smooth as it could be), but that won't be happening before spring for me.

Anyways to sum it up, there are nicer examples out there, and plenty of 850's with Automatics.
If you want a 6 Speed car (They always say less than 10% came manual, so about 300 of them), but don't want to spend 10K or better this might be for you.

I'm tore up about selling it, took me forever to get it, but before I park it for the long Wisconsin winter I thought I'd try and find it a better home...
Email me for my reserve

My zip code is 54227 if you need to figure shipping, obviously your responsibility.
I can be available almost anytime to meet your shipper, or show you the car if you want to come see it before the auction ends
ALso if you want to investigate flights, Green Bay is closest, Milwaukee is more popular and not too far, arrangements COULD be made to pick someone up.

and finally, I do have a Wisconsin Dealers License, but I'm not what you would expect for a car dealer, no colored flags flying, no sales people, no financing. I just have a bad car habit, I maybe sell 7-10 cars a year to Friends and Family, mostly I use the license for the dealer tags, and the ability to slap a plate on whatever I want to drive!
What that really means to you is if you are a WI resident I have to charge you sales tax and registration fees. If you are from out of state I can hand you the title (signed and filled out in your name) and you are responsible for fees at home.
Thanks for looking,
Matt

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.

BMW 2 Series Convertible goes for a drive in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The BMW 2 Series is the car that will eventually replace the 1 Series here in the United States (remember: the 1 Series moniker will live on to describe the hatchback models in other markets), and while we've seen the new coupe out on the prowl, we're now seeing the droptop version out on the road. We don't have much information about the new 2er models, only that they are expected to bow sometime in 2014.
Dimensionally, the new 2 Series convertible looks very similar in size to its outgoing 1 Series kin, with things like the roofline and roof shape looking nearly identical. Of course, reworked front and rear fascias are immediately noticeable, and judging by what little we can see, it appears as though the small BMW will take many of its design cues from the larger 3 Series rather than the oft-awkward-looking 1 Series hatch that's currently available in Europe.
Assuming things are still on track for 2014, we won't rule out a possible debut in Geneva, though the Frankfurt expo in September makes even more sense.

BMW 328d confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Late last year, some of BMW's future diesel plans for the US market were leaked, and we learned that a diesel-powered version of the 3 Series sedan (pictured above in 335i guise) would be coming in the first quarter of 2013. That report appears to be holding true, as BMW has just confirmed the debut of the oil-burning 328d sedan as part of the company's New York Auto Show plans.
The 328d will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine good for 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The rear-wheel-drive sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and fuel economy numbers could "well exceed" 40 miles per gallon. (Official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car's launch.)
Elsewhere on BMW's New York stand, the company will show off the 3 Series Gran Turismo that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, as well as the Concept Active Tourer that we first saw in Paris last fall. Scroll down for the official press blast.
