Vehicle’s History:
I am the third owner of the vehicle and purchased it from a family member over 2 years ago. I have put just more than 21,000 miles on the car. Mostly all highway miles because I used it to commute to work and school. I would say 85% highway and 15% city while in my possession. When I first purchased the vehicle, I went through the vehicle with a certified BMW mechanic and replaced any item that looked old or worn out. The only reason I am the selling the car is because I do not have enough space at my house for it. I am still driving it here and there so the mileage will go up a little bit.
So far I have replaced:
All three drive belts
Power steering pump
Power steering hoses
Valve cover gasket
Front rotors
Brake pads
Thrust rod arms + bushings
Tie rods
Timing belt and water pump
Left diff seal
Reservoir to power steering box
Odometer gear
Front struts
Drive shaft bushing mount
A/C belt and power steering belt
Spark plugs
Tire Rotations
Oil and oil filter changes every 3,000 miles
New stock muffler
Front speakers tweeters professionally installed with warranty
Newer front tires
The previous owner fixed the driver front fender in his body shop and replaced some miscellaneous suspension parts. He also put the very nice black pinstripe on the side of the vehicle as well. He did not drive it, but just had it stored.
The car is originally from Montana I believe who put the first 114,000 miles on the vehicle. It was always garaged and has zero rust on any part of the car. I was also told the original owners were an older couple who drove it sparingly, but decided to get let it go once it got hit and was given the salvaged title even though the damage was not major.
The odometer reads 128,XXX but the car actually has around 135,XXX. These cars can easily go up to 350,000 if basic maintenance is done. This car needs nothing, it is a nice turn-key, completely stock vehicle that will take you anywhere without any worries.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or want a specific picture of the vehicle. No test-drives without cash in hand. I will not ship the vehcile, must be picked up. Cash only. I am located in the Bay Area California.
Thank you.
-Austin
