Sort of. :D Picked it up summer before last, to be exact.
Just fuckin' around. I've actually just decided to keep my wife's 89 325i auto when we get her a new car in the spring. I bought it for myself initially, but gave it to her when her last car bit the dust. I was going to sell it and use the money from it as a down payment on whatever car we buy her, but I don't think I'll realistically be able to get more than around $1k for it. So I figured I can come up with enough of a down payment on my own for whatever we buy, and I'll just hang onto this one.
It runs just fine, and has relatively low miles, but it's a little ropey here and there, and the body isn't in the greatest shape. The suspension is in bad shape too, needs new control arms, CAB's, shocks, etc. It also needs a new water pump, and some exterior bits, like a new front valence. I have all of that already, but I just don't want to do all the work to install it all, and then just turn around and sell it for next to nothing. Especially when I could just keep it, and use it as a daily to keep my car from seeing so much day-to-day traffic and driving. Also, an auto would certainly be nice for going to work, and back, running around, etc, since the traffic here is so congested.
