why not fix it up?

Not sure which way to go.

I would buy and then check my pockets and future expenses. Dependant on that I would either a. Buy the car and spend all summer restoring it OR b. buy the car and part it out on the forums, ebay, etc. For $375 you can't really go wrong unless it's in piss poor condition. Either way you'll get you're kizzle back in the end.

What does "needs some minor motor work" mean?

I don't think they made a US spec "i" coupe, prior to late 1988. Correct me if i am wrong.

The 1987 325iS.

For $375 you really can't go wrong, and I bet you you could talk them down on the price some too. If you can't fix it, you can easily make the money back parting it out.

I believe Jordan's car is an 87 US spec "i" coupe though you can't tell by looking at it now.
