So freakin tempting...should i buy?

[colt325e]

1990 325is, 204k miles, really nice interior, manual, borbets...$4500 should i buy? I called and asked if its the lowest he'd go and he said hes probably going to drop it a few hundred because he hasnt been getting any action from it. If i was going to buy it id probably have to sell that car that i have right now. I think i'd sell it for like 1500 or something, but i'd want to keep my asa's and tires. Anyways, how much would you all pay for it?

It's $4500 now, and he said he'd drop it a few hundred. How do you figure he'll let it go for $1500?

[colt325e]

no, if i were to sell my car that i have right now

it's not worth $4500
with no more details other than "very nice interior" and the 204K mi, it's hard to tell. suspension parts and random elecricial components will start going bad soon if they haven't already been replaced.
get more details, and try to talk him down to atleast ~$3700-3800.

You may never know what is wrong with the car if anything unless you can inspect it your self or something like that.

No deal. I paid $4500 for my 1987 heavily modded (all that's needed is strut bars) and it only has 140k on the clock. If he won't go down I'd keep looking.
Good luck

why do the wheels look so P'shoped in the first pic?

I dont know, must be lighting. Where online can you buy is bumpers, whats the name for them? I could make my car look better than that with less money probably. Also with a lot of work though. What i want most right now for the car i have is i s bumpers, paint job and new suspension.

The interior in that 325is is freakin gorgeous though, mines more than ugly.

Talk him down to below 3900 - it's got 204k on it.

This also depends on the condition of the paint, interior, like you said is all good (this helps), when was the timing belt changed?

I mean, everything should be checked. Will he be invluding the stock bottlecaps, or are those gone?

Those tires also looka little oversized as well.

Look into it, I'd definately do it if I were you though.

Just, whatever you do, don't pay over 4 grand for it, it's got over 200k on it. But, I guess this all depends on other aspects. More details never hurt. ;)

I second that... It MUST be UNDER $4000 to even consider it in my eyes. And with that many miles, the interior had better look almost new. My friend just bought an 88 325is for $1900, interior is pretty good, original paint looks awesome, 170k, small dent on the hood and that's it.
