thinking of selling the IX

[franco90]

I'd pay $3500-3750 for that car as long as i felt it didn't need any immediate maintenance (xfer case, control arms, front drive/half shafts, and a rebuilt automatic gearbox -i don't trust one with 219k w/o a rebuilt)

If all the above is true, ask a price of $4250

HTH,
Julien

Beautiful Alpine White 325iX not only is it rust free, but straight as an arrow. Carfax report is super and the condition reflects it. It has not been wrecked and has its original paint in excellent shape with an equally neat and clean interior. The interior has NOT been smoked in and the seats do NOT have any rips or tears. All manuals, maintenance papers and reports included. Maintenance/repairs we have done and is documented include: Timing belt and tensioner, Water Pump, All belts and hoses, radiator, front struts, tires (BF Goodrich 205/55VR15 Traction T/A), brakes, front tie rods, thermostat, heater valve. Original front driveshaft has been replaced in July 07. The car has been serviced regularly and is on a Castrol Syntec diet.
Both Control Arms have been replace in April 07
It has a new alternator with in the in the last 3 months.

[fraunhofer]

[TwoJ's]

You put your ix away for the winter?

[franco90]

I know we suppost to drive the IX in the winter. I know the car can handle the Snow .
I am worry about dumb ass drivers running into the IX.. thats why I dont drive it in the Winter..

That is a really terrible advert. Sounds like you are trying to upsell a POS. Leave all the chassis/rust issues out and be more to the point: pictures do the talking, and if need be people can always ask you.

Think of it like this:
You meet an attractive girl at a bar and right off the bat she tells you she's never been fucked on camera.

Useful, important info... but ruins the picture a bit, doesn't it.

Just get the parts together and swap to 5spd.

true so true

[franco90]

thanks guys

You have two choices.

1. keep the ix and get another car.
or
2. Sell it and let someone use it for what is was intended for.

[AdironRider]

Seriously, garaging an ix is fucking stupid.

[backtrail69]

I could see that with the rust bucket that you used to have... Speaking of which the head from that ix is going on my stroker. :)

[AdironRider]

No shit, glad to see its going to good use! That car still survives in pieces. Not sure what Nando used from it on his car.

If you guys thought that was rust you have seen nothing. That was a good example for 17 years in New England.

[backtrail69]

I wouldn't want to see a bad case. I don't touch a car around here with ANY rust.. I know he used the Tranny, transfercase and block at a bare minimum.

[AdironRider]

I remember him using the block now that I recall.

People freak out about rust as if if theres a tiny bit the car is going to be junk within a year when that simply isnt the case. Sure the car is going to go downhill, but its not the immediate death that people make it out to be. It takes years upon years for rust to destroy a car completely. Ive seen it on every car my family has ever known. Well see signs after about ten years or so, but it wont be a rust wont claim the car for the better part of a decade thereafter.
