Here goes my first post. Looking for any advice and help.
Currently I daily a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6. Car has a built motor, big turbo, meth injection .blah blah blah. Currently making 450AWHP and 420AWTQ.
That said I am looking into a second car. Something cheapish that I can maintain and put a little money in and have fun in.
I have a family friend who bought a 1991 BMW 325i cabrio brand new.
She has babied the car since then. All maintenance done at BMW, never seen snow, always garaged, and has 70k on the clock.
Car is white with a blue top and a manual.
She put new tires on it and then has not driven it in the last 3 years.
With that said what would be a fair price to offer her for the car? She was thinking $3250 which I thought was reasonable.
Also what type of issues would be good to look over before I drive it home?
Seafoam in gas tank with some fuel stabilizer, look for dry rot on lines, oil change???
Any other common maintenance issues?
And to continue on my lengthy post, trying to see what is a suggested mod path.
Current plan is:
Bilstein Sports
H&R Sports cabrio (or GC but trying to save money)
Drop Hats for the front
race skids cross cassis brace
IR cat back and possibly headers
New air filter
and probably some 16x8 wheels and some tires.
Sorry for the lengthy post and any help would be great!!
Thanks and look forward to some learing here.
