Hes local but I think its to much for my budget. Because im going to need to fix it up.
Ive seen it in person the seats are pretty torn up (he doesnt show in pics)
Dying for a paint job all over. ALL over lol
Engine bay is unclean but no big deal
It has 162k miles
auto trans (i prefer manual but i need to spend money to do swap)
rusted sunroof but he provides with a new one.
Keeping in mind the transmission change, paint job and interior.
How much would you pay?
Am i being a cheap a$$?
Or is the car really worth 5k?

pm me what you think if youd like

[ubernasty]

i'd say asking price is about right

Car looks great in pics. I've never seen it in person. I wouldn't buy an automatic but some people like 'em.

[veritas.smit]

me either but i was planning on doing the swap anyhow. It looks very different in the pictures. To me i had no doubt i would buy it for 5k when i saw it online. Then in person i seriously doubted it, seriously. But im just wondering if its just me, idk.

[veritas.smit]

But having all those things in mind, if you were to do the swap, would you personally give the asking price? plus all the other things i said up there?

It is like he is selling the rims and the 325i comes with them...

[veritas.smit]

Their reps man, maybe if they were real yea lol.
If you tell me yes can you give me some reasons?
I have to pay around 1+ k to paint the whole thing
Prolly around 400 to 500 for interior
And 600 for swap. Thats alot of money to go from 5k.

I never pay asking price, even if it is priced fair. but yes its a nice car and its priced about right given the decent milage

[veritas.smit]

i never pay asking price either, but he doesnt budge. No one has bought it from him in over a week and he doesnt even return my calls. I want the car but how will i buy it without the seller?...So frustrating
