I am pretty sure they don't require much else other than the cars run a couple laps around the parking lot to make sure they are drivable. For all we know someone could have taken the M3 badge and VIN off of a real wrecked M3 and affixed them to re plain Jane 318 or whatever.

I am sure a lot of these "exotic" vehicles either had major problems or were just hard for their owners to sell so they took a loss on them as a trade in. Its the owners' choice what to do with their vehicles anyway.

But I guess if I ever end up with a E30 M3 with frame damage and knocking rods I can just sell it for top dollar on IA as theres obviously a bustling market for such vehicles and buyers lined up around the block with $$$ in hand.
