So I've had a hankering for an older euro car for as long as I can remember. From dad's 1993 750iL that ate more than it's fair share of change, to my older brother's 1986 VW GTI, my first drive memories are in a BMW and the first time I turned a wrench was on a VW. I want to be a part of the family! Not to mention I'm more than a little bit sick and tired of getting 15MPG freeway in my '94 trooper...
Anyway! I'm sure ya'll get more of these threads than you can count, but I want the forum's take on a craigslist posting.
I've got a spare set of steelies I can use to get the car if need be. I'm a bit far away, in Bellingham, so I asked for additional higher resolution pictures. On the way are more pictures of the interior including the dash and busted up seat, the boot including the battery well and spare well, and of what seems to be paint damage on the hood, roof, and trunk lid and the dents mentioned in the listing.
I've had a bit of communication with the phone number listed, and it seems that all the parts listed are new(post overheat).
What I'd love is input from you guys on what I should be asking, what I should look for if/when I see this car, and what ya'll think of the head problems and strange noise.
Thanks!
Steve
