Why am I selling you may ask?

I've decided I want an M3, so after I let this one go, I will be selling my 00 323Ci. Both will be investments for an e46 M3:mrgreen:

I also posted this in the Boston craigslist section:

When you say power steering doesnt work, did the pump just take a crap? How easily do you think it would be to replace?

Where are you located, think the car will make it too newport?

[Byblos]

^^Yeah, so the pump needs to be replaced if you absolutely need power steering. Let me clarify something about that though. The only part of the ride that feels hard to turn the steering wheel is when you first start the car. That's it. Once you get it rolling, it's as if the car has power steering, no greater force is needed on your behalf to make turns. That's why I never bothered to get it fixed. In my opinion it would be a complete waste of money. You literally cannot feel a difference once the car starts moving.

It will definitely make it to Newport, I took it to Connecticut last week for a concert. I never feel worried about taking it long distances. I'm in Providence a lot, so if you're interested PM me, I can give you my cell number.

Thanks for showing interest.

I know what your saying, my friends 85 RX7 has no power steering, its just a bitch to park he tells me, I Do alot of Parallel parking in Downtown Newport, So it might be necessary to replace it eventually

Any more known rust besides near the pedal, and it looks like some on the fenders.

Paint in good condition?

And this is the front or rear shock absorber?

[Byblos]

^^ I won't lie, as I'm trying to be as honest as possible about the car. There is lots of rust underneath the car, mostly in the rear.

Paint shows age, but mainly near the edges of body panels.

And it's the front (right side) shock absorber that should be replaced.

EDIT- The inside of the car has little to no rust (only trunk area). It's the exterior (bottom of the car) that has rust. Interior is literally flawless.

you think itll pass inspection with the rust?

Timing belt last done?

[Byblos]

I have no doubt in my mind that it will pass inspection. I am confident enough in saying that I will buy the car back if it doesn't.

I never did any timing belt work, and I doubt the owner before me did.

[TimKninja]

hmmm....how many miles have been put on the car since you had it, and the po did the timing belt, maybe the timing belt was done and the water pump wasn't, then the waterpump started to fail so he got that done?...I'm just trying to think positive.

Sorry for all the questions.Just interested, you seem to know alot about the car too, which is good.

Oh, and what state is the car registered in?
