Approaching a stranger in an attempt to buy their car?

[Cletonius]

you likely already have an e30 or you wouldnt be on this board asking questions. So why go through all the uncomfortableness of meeting new people, awkward silences etc etc. I would just go over at night, Take all the good parts and leave the barren carcass in his driveway

There are only so many key codes, try yours and see if it works.

I came here for serious and left laughing...



Seriously, go knock on the door like this...

I've had good success with this method. I'll put $250 in two pockets and $500 in another. Then you can pull out a wad of cash and not have to count anything. After talking to them you should be able to figure out which pocket/pockets to reach into.

Make an offer, show them that exact amount of cash without tipping off that you've got additional cash. Most people see the cash and get greedy; cash in their face helps them make an uneducated snap decision in your favor.

The worst he can say is no, plus now you are on his radar when his wife gets tired of looking at the poor car.

'knock, knock, knock'

Door opens

'Can I help you?'

'Hi, my name is _______ and I see you have BMW in the driveway. Would you happen to be selling it?'

They say 'Yes' or 'No'.

That's how we used to do things in the 90s anyway. lol

Why not? You're not likely going to get jacked by a guy at his own house. Cash in hand makes people do things they otherwise wouldn't
