How much would you pay?

[88driftIS]

as a comparison. I just bought a 88 is with 300+ on the clock. There is very minor surface rust over passenger rear tire, and floor board. The timing belt and water pump where replaced 4k miles ago. Interior is good except driver seat. Compression was good on the motor. I paid 1k for it. But looks were not an issue for. I just wanted a straight shell to start my project.

There are no honest car salesmen. If you can't get him to drop his price. Be patient something better will come along.

Lol, he's not going too. I found a clean 89 325is for 2,500. Will pick it up tomorrow!!

BTW, It doesn't matter what age you are, you negotiate to get something at a good price.

And in this case I would say it is a terrible price. Just keep looking and you will find a decent car. No records, possibly fraudulent mileage? That driver seat makes the whole interior look like rubbish, airbag as well. And that paint looks

But, I'm not buying the car you are! So if the guy can get you to pay 3k or even 2k for that thing good job on his part!

[ethirtydavid]

yeah, thats funny because i bet this car would sell easier if they removed the strut bar.

its like a sign in front of the car saying 'the previous owner was hard on this one..."

[SpartanTiger81]

i would not pay 2500, but most likely I wouldn't be getting that car, unless it was for parts. lol


In your case however, when you want something, you pay what the man asks for it. Unless you're trying to negotiate yourself out of the sale. Just because he's a used car salesman, doesn't make him a slime-bag. On the other hand, you being a HS student, trying to renegotiate and insult him make you seem like a brat.

You either want it or not. And have you sold your car yet to pay for this one? If not, why are you even bothering this guy?

Why do you have to be a fucking dick to everyone on this forum?

No arguement here, there are better ways to phrase your posts.

Let me know if you find a solid car local man!

Will do man, be sure to check Autotrader and Roadfly periodically.

[SpartanTiger81]

i'd say 2k... but if I wanted an e30 and it was local... i'd pay up to 2.5

But the car must be rust free

Yea, Julien I contacted him and gave him my best offer explaining what I had heard from the previous owner, and the problems it had now. He said he is firm, so I'll probably look for something cleaner.

Records, rust, repainted?

He's the seller, you're the buyer. Don't be afraid to get the car on a lift to check out the undercarriage. Any leaks? Where has the car been all of its life? Has the motor been opened up? If documentation is provided, check for the repacement of rocker arms, the timing belt, various seals and gaskets, etc. Judging by the pictures, I wouldn't go above $2100-2200.

I offered 2,200$, but he said he has already had a couple people interested in the car at 3,500$, which I think is ridiculous. The previous owner didn't have any documentation so I assume he doesn't either. I think I could find something better for the money. Let me know if you find a solid car local man!

Got in contact with the previous owner. He said the shocks were bad, and that he gave the new owner a pair of new Bilstiens to put on the car. Called the new owner and he didn't. Car is junk, and he saids he gets intrest at 3,500$. Bullshit

[Turf1600]

$1700

Whatchu talkin bout, Willis?

Horrible paint, trashed interior? The paint seems pretty good, it just has scratches where the bra was. The drivers seat looks to be the only part that is worn in the interior- it even has a crack free dash. The miles are pretty high, but if it was maintained well it doesn't really matter. How is the rust on the car? I would say $2500 is a pretty fair price.

That interior is balls,the drivers seat is junk, all of its cracking. Seriously how do you call this "scratches"??!?
I mean FFS the hood is actually bent from where something hit it. IMO the paint seems kinda dull to, either the clear is almost gone or its oxidizing. The east coast market much be much worse then west. Here, that car would have problems getting close to 2k.
