well i have found an '88 325xi. the car has 207K miles on the motor and chasis. the body is in great condition with no rust that i can tell of and all original body panels. All of the regular maint has been done and has the paperwork to prove it. It had the whole a/c unit replaced last summer, as well as the specII maint done. It has been lady owned and driven it's whole life. The car is red and has black interior. The paint is in good shape for it's age and mileage, however the clearcoat is peeling in a spot or two and the paint is somewhat faded. I am not scared of old red paint, i've got a red toyota that never had a clearcoat, so i'm familiar with the care and maint needed to keep the red looking good. one thing that i thought of to check is under the "bodykit underbody pieces". is it common for rust to appear under there if debris gets trapped and water over time? also if you could suggest other ares or items especially mechanical to check that would be great. I have been reading up on the 325ix registry site and there is some good info there. i also purchased this months BIMMER magazine, it has an E30 buyers guide in it. from reading it the car does sound like a winner.
anyways, i'm mainly asking if this sounds like a good deal. i think it does, but it can't hurt to have other peoples ideas right!
they are asking 3500 for it, i said i'm looking to spend 2500 so i believe we'll meet halfway on 3k.
what do you guys think? :)
