so i found this nice ix... the guy doesnt seem to know anything about this car... at all... except its a bmw and it was in a read end accident causing a salvage title... i know its def not worth asking price... but i was curious if anyone knew whos car this was by chance or have seen it around before and knew anything about it. thanks guys

4 dr/5 spd late ix are fairly rare and seems to be og paint.
I know he started out asking upwards to 6k for it.
not much demand for awd over here I guess, but I wouldn't say 'its def not worth asking price'
fwiw, it has euro smilies lol

[beanerguitarist]

its on heated springs, and hes never done any basic maintenance on it... so who knows how it runs... i just dont want to come up from socal and not like what i see

[RUFFLZ]

did he say he hasn't been maintaining it?

[beanerguitarist]

yes only oil changes

honestly id rather buy this and ship it over for the same price.

Damn, he's got hella lights.

And the red one's not worth the asking price. I'd give him $1.5-$2k

I talked to someone who went to see this car and said it was a waste of time

What didnt they like, other than salvage title seems pretty descent prolly would let it go for 3.5, id feel okay paying that

why so???

really how so??? was it a hack job?

[smyleboyd]

I talked to the guy briefly and he said it didnt run right and the interior was shit. This is when the car was posed for 6k. i trust the guy cus he had a beautiful alpine e30 m3 on bbs rs and groundcontrol coilovers. he said he was looking for a daily (so he didnt have to daily the m3) and that that IX wasnt for him

[beanerguitarist]

shit... yea he wont budge under 3700.... i think im going to keep looking. i might have found a jem only 10 hours from me... so hopefully ill get into a coupe ix >:) fingerscrossed

[Rsully70sev]

why so???

Eh, maybe that was a little low. I'd say $2-2.5k

He admitted to not keeping up on maintenance, apparently it doesn't run right, salvage title IMO cuts the value at least 30% if not more, resale value is shot, and frankly if you're looking to pay around $4k there is a lot more out there.

It doesn't look too bad. If it was closer I'd buy it and fix the hell out of it. But 3950 is a bit much I think too
