Good deal?? 88 325is

[MattTHEe30GURU]

Just sold my 1991 318i and regret it

here is the posting

he wants $1600

Red 1988 BMW 325IS with 176,600 Miles .. Brown Leather with a tear in the drivers seat. Runs and Drives good . Manual . Very minimal amount of rust.

I bought mine for $1700 and it is almost identical to what you just described. Seems like a fair price. Where's the rust?

You should go look at it and report back. $1600 seems very affordable for that. You could maybe even get it down to $1300 or something. Looks really clean from the outside, and the fact that it looks completely stock is a good thing too, means that some idiot hasn't tried to do stupid cheap mods to it. Nice rims on it too. Plus, 325IS is already a little bit better than just a 325I. I wonder if the ODO still works or stopped working and is working again?

Ya i called him and he said he got a DUI and having a kid so he needs to sell. He said interior is in great shape besides a rip on the driver seat and a foglight is cracked and leaks something... he said he doesn't know what LOL. so im going tomorrow to check it out.
ill report back.

I am shocked the guy is not asking 3K+ for it given the morons today. Depending on running factor it looks worth his asking. Nothing wrong with trying to knock 2-300 off it. Cash really talks in person, just be really nice and I am sure he would work with you.

IMO it has every winning factor save for euro bumpers:
SETA engine, 5spd, clean and nice paint(what I could see)

I would snag it and do a b27i conversion and daily the shit out of it.

[MattTHEe30GURU]

he said he would drive this all day everyday and across the country. he said the exterior is in great condition too.

[TimKninja]

I would BUY BUY BUY

My 1990 325is isint nearly as clean as that and i payed $1700

Awesome deal

Do a timing belt if you buy it!

+1

And I think with an 88 its better to just go plastic bumpers. :D

[MattTHEe30GURU]

Just got back from looking at it...... pile of shit. they guy said he didn't know anything about cars but yet wanted to turn it into a drag/track car. Leaked a shit ton of oil. clutch was gone all ellipsoids were cracked, exhaust was toast.
Bottom line.... not buying

Should have made an offer if the body and paint were nice.

All of the other stuff can easily be fixed.

Sounds like my car when I bought it...best $1200 I've ever spent!
