Ok so Im looking at a car a couple hours away from me and it looks like a pretty good deal. Its been sitting in this guys driveway for about a year (he gota new car so this one was useless to him). Its a 1987 325is with 172000 miles. Needs tires and the front valence, glovebox, radio, and under drivers side dash panel are missing. The big selling point for me is theres no rust. Interiors in ok shape. Im thinking get a standard valence (not an is) then some euro bumpers and ill be sitting pretty. The exterior is in good shape. Should I be worried about a car thats jsut sat for a while? Hes asking 1800, does it sound like a good car?

Take it to a mechanic for an inspection. Have him do a full check-up, compression tests etc.... better safe than sorry.Erick Mahle | FullOpp Drift | YouTube

I agree. If it's in good mechanical shape and doesn't need any bodywork..
1800$ seems like a fair price. Hope it works out for ya.

I called the guy up and he said it was perfectly driveable and ran great outside of the tires. Rotors are fine jsut rusty from no use. The tranny works fine etc. It seems like a good deal to me on paper, but do you think Id be getting myself into trouble?Comment

Personally, I'd save and go digging for a nice 318is... unless your heart is set on 6 cylinders. My friend just picked up an almost spotless '91 for under 5 grand, beautiful car with only 107k on the clock.
If you do go with a 325is, there are better deals out there... that car just looks... sketchy.

Judging from all those white spots on the car, it looks like it hasn't been maintained very well 8).
