"This car is aweful hard to beat for the money for an autocrosser. Very light (2500 lb.) and very nice, predictable manners. As a track car, it is excellent for schools, as it is very neutral and extremely forgiving with great feedback from driver input.
It has a few minor cosmetic flaws, but it's pretty much as you see it in the pics, with Bilstien Sport struts/shocks and Eibach Pro springs. A very common and desireable setup. I also put an SCCA Solo 1 bar from Kirk in it and 5 pt. camlock driver harness. It has a Pro-formance chip for a little more enhanced mid-range torque, and a little larger diameter exhaust and Dynomax muffler. The car goes through a fairly rigorous tech inspection annually (last one in Feb. '04), so it's in top-notch shape, all wearing parts new or nearly new.
I am in Raleigh, NC. Let me know if you are interested in seeing it. I put it on Cars.com yesterday, and have gotten 1 phone call and 5 emails already...for whatever that's worth."

"Overall condition, good to very good (I'm very critical, some might say
excellent.) Car has a 4 year old Maaco paint job (one of the better ones
I've seen them do). The person that had it before me hit a deer, and the
hood was repaired instead of replaced. I wouldn't have done that, you can
see the repair if pointed out.
I'm selling it to get a later model (E36). I just bought my college-bound
son a '94 325is and I'm smitten....
I'm not sure this car is so extraordinary that it would warrent a trip from
Mass., but if rust is a factor with typical cars from up there, this might
tip the scales in this direction. I'd be happy yo take4 the car to a local
BMW enthusiasts shop for an assessment if you want. There are plenty of them
around here, or if you want, there is a shop Carolina Import Works owned by
Craig Gelston, who is a Speed Channel GT Challenge Corvette driver (very
knowledgable) who could give you a pretty good assessment. His # is
919-872-0350."
So do you think this warrants my attention or time? The maaco paint job is kind of throwing me off, but if I plan on getting into some drivers schools and autox, this car is perfect. Plus I really dont need the power associated with the 6 at the moment, the highway efficiency would be nice back and forth from college. Has pretty low miles, and he seems to take real good care of it.
What do you think?
