DESCRIPTION
I am selling my 1989 325i 2-door coupe. Canadian vehicle. Very clean, 100% original, no modifications. I am the third owner (2002 – 2014). Second owner was 1998 – 2002. Both of us were non-smokers. For me, this was one of two, part-time daily drivers from 2002 – 2013. I have receipts from the second owner dating back to 01/10/98, when they purchased the vehicle and had the odometer converted from kilos to miles. The odometer currently reads 176,037 miles. According to records, the vehicle had 36,391 miles at the time of conversion. A tag on the door states the odometer was set to zero at the time of conversion. If this is true, the actual mileage is approximately 212, 428 miles. This has been a fantastic vehicle, but life happens and I no longer have the time to work on cars. Asking $6800.
