Fact: I payed too much for mine.

Year : 1991
Model: 318is
Trans: 5spd
Mileage: Unknown, stopped at 103XXX
Price: $2000
Purchase date: 4/11
Location bought: Central Ohio
Issues: Front end damage, salvage title, no muffler, faded paint, cracked dash, severely needed a good tune up. In general, it was beat.

Pros: UUC short shifter, newer Bilstein sports and H&R springs with some real nice shock mounts. Good condition sport seats

I knew I could clean it up pretty easy but with the damage and the salvage title, I really should have payed less than $1500 for the car. Oh well.
