Well, off it goes to BaT like everyone thought... Lets see what the "market" is willing to pay for a 13K mile 20 year old very desirable ZHP! Checks off lots of boxes!

Market is very weird right now. Could hit high 20s, could hit high 30s.

Now at $23k.

This car is as showroom floor condition as you can get. I didn?t go thru all of the pics, but being a Michigan car, I would carefully inspect the undercarriage. That said, very very very low miles so?

Hope someone who appreciates what this car is will get it and drive the snot out of it.

Had a chance to look at the rest of the pics. What in the world happened on the underside? There?s a sort of yellow/sulfer colored stain from the engine splash shield?!?! Whatever it was, it leaked all the way back to the rear of the car.

Really?!?! Wow! That looks like complete crap!!! Hmmm...I'm going to have to take a peek under my car and see if I have something similar. I'm at 155k miles though.

I mean a clean undercarriage looks cool when on the lift and probably helps the sale slightly, but it doesn't actually matter unless it is rust as you don't see it 99% of the time.

This car would definitely benefit from dry ice cleaning on the underside.

Have to be careful with dry ice cleaning. E46s rust easily, and if the shop does not know how to do it properly and takes off the existing undercoating, it will rust very quickly when exposed to the elements.

I asked my detailer to do steam cleaning of undercarriage. I was very happy with the results.

It was $150 four years ago.

I'm making a run at this car. Will see what happens. Black is not my jam but options are limited for this mileage and condition....

If I buy this, I will be lasting my 2005 ZHP with 65k miles.

Bidding frenzy at the end with final at $39,500!!! Super nice condition. Close to what I paid for mine with 6 miles on it! Someone's going to get a rare and awesome car. Hopefully there are no surprises for the buyer. And hopefully they drive the snot out of it!

PS-The timer reset to 2 minutes after each bid at the end kinda takes the fun out of an auction.

based on BaT's sales scatter chart, that's they highest price ever for a ZHP on BaT!

It would've blown my mind if it hit $40k!!!

The comments under these ZHP's is awesome!

Nutty price, but shows people still value them. Or launder money
