My car spent nearly 3 years being daily driven in Manhattan/Yonkers and daily driven the rest of the time in Maryland/Virginia, which gets a lot more snow than Charlotte, North Carolina. That E30's front control arms and diff had significant rust on them. And I have a 1997 Z3 Roadster also bought new, which is basically an E30/E36 underneath, daily driven in Maryland between the burbs north of Washington DC to Aberdeen, Maryland, it has nowhere near that level of corrosion.
And typical of BaT, someone half an hour before bid closing jumps the price by $3,500 from $11,500 to $15,000 but then doesn't bid afterwards to when the bidding when from $15,000 to $15,750 in $250 increments? If you can jump the price $3,500 well in advance of the closing time, you can certainly go another $1,000 to win the car. Again, BaT bidding BS.
