FS: '89 325ix Touring (5spd)

[stonea]

Seriously, milage isn't even a factor on e30s. Half of them don't even show the correct milage. Plus tourings run a very high premium in the US. I've never seen one below 9k so 13k for 1 of less 50 cars in the US? If I had the cash I'd definitely buy it.

I understand the rarity of a touring model in this type of condition, but for $13.5k it should be in absolute turn key condition, no cracks in the dash, and blower motor fully functional. I just spent $12k on a 1989 coupe, 325i, RWD. And it only had 53,000 miles on it!!! In absolute mint condition, nothing at all wrong with it, mechanically or cosmetically. Your car has more than twice the mileage, several things wrong with it, and a cloth interior. The rarity of the touring style and AWD are great, and that sparks my interest for sure, but at the higher end of the price spectrum, it better be perfect. Just saying.

Beautiful car though, and incredible that it's touring and AWD. You should have great luck, at a lower price, or properly repaired.

you got ripped off... 12k for a stock 325i????? miles or not still way too high... freee bump

Gotta agree with evoDRichie, if you paid $12K for a stock 325i, you probably got screwed on that deal. A 325ix touring with a manual transmission is a vastly rarer car, and really shouldn't be directly compared to a normal 325i.

Thanks guys..I appreciate it..let's stay on topic pls.. fakeplstctrees, the touring is less then "perfect", and this is why the asking price is NOT firm at $13.5k, its an asking price obo :-) a few hundred bucks spent on the 2 items and it will be "perfect" ;-)

I've never seen one below 9k.

Sorry, but you must not be following the market very closely. Several decent examples have sold for less than $7k recently. A red one with a little rust sold a month ago for $4,500, including shipping from Europe. I tried to buy it but was a few days late. To be fair - none of these were iXs, so this car should sell for more.

Eh its all about condition as any rust on the hatch that isn't surface is a big pain in the ass in the USA because its not like you can just hit up a wrecker and get another hatch. That goes for any of the touring specific parts like the entire rear quarter area and trunk area.

If I had the money I'd be all over this, I love this color combo and 5 speed IX is an absolutely awesome car.

big difference between a bare bones 318i Touring and a 325iX touring.

I picked my Touring up for cheap but trust me, whether you pay 10k+ upfront or down the road, its still gonna cost you 10k+ at the end of the day.

After my rust fixing, repaint, etc its gonna be 10k plus.

I'm not an expert on the market, but I check Craigslist ever once in a while for BMW listings in VA, WV, and MD and the cheapest I've seen is $9,000 for a 318i touring. I'm sure there are better deals, and I'm sure theres even been some that have sold for even less than the $4.5 you mentioned, but thats just what I've seen personally.

Anyways OP sorry your thread got derailed, hope you get the car sold soon and it goes to a good home!
