Is it worth it

[eur04lif3]

Hey guys I'm currently looking for a new daily driver.

I found this local car on craigslist,

http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/1489266394.html

Car has about 180k miles on it, and paint is faded on the top, some small dings.

Spoke to the seller and he sounds honest, but i think the price is a bit too high.

Any advice is appreciated,

$2500 tops.... ask what maint/service it had... or pay for PPI.

Red will clean up super well with some elbow grease. As long as it's a single stage...

$3000 is too high.

I only paid $1400 for my 318. Granted, mine is just an 4dr i. But it only had 155k miles, NO fading, and a near-perfect interior.

Check to see if it has rust anywhere (battery compartment, floorboards, rocker panels) , check the accuracy of the guage cluster, give the suspension a thorough looking over. Basically pick the car apart with a fine-toothed comb out loud in front of him, and see if you can lower the price to $2k. You'd be surprised where some crafty negotiating can get you.

Def. not worth 3k. I paid that for my car and It only had 130k miles on it, paint was in great shape, and mint interior.

[Beastolizer]

idk 2k is alot for that too lol

agreed. Well, I wouldnt call it a lot, but not worth it.

He did mention that the price is somewhat flexible...however ill take your advice and see if i can get him down to 2k...:)

But its still a 318... Try finding a 325i or is , gl
