parts car or lowering springs?

[TexasE30]

I want to know which is better for me to get..
1988 bmw 325is parts car with busted left grills with missing headlight..radiator and cooling fan and exhaust system is gone. There're basketweaves on the car. Engine was running when he pulled those things out. (bronzit) right fender have huge dent at front. Auto-tragic
or
lowering springs that my car needs desperately but can live without it.

the price different between those 2 is 100 dollars, actually 95.

I did think about buying the car and put basketweaves on and sell those 17s that I have on and get suspension. Keep engine for myself and Part the rest out.

Opinions?

Buy the parts car, to fund the suspension! The 4.10lsd and weaves alone(providing they were in good shape) would be worth more then enough to buy lowering springs.

Parts car. Worth more in the long run. ^^^ What he said.

Yes, I agree with you 2. Only thing that considering me is that it will be hard to sell things on this site since I have no reputable. Hence, I was thinking about sell the parts for insane cheap :p..

I guess I will get the parts car. :)

Thanks.

Parting FTW!

Sell the parts, then you'll have a reputable name on here.

Thanks for opinions and I find a way to get both of them. I went to see the car today and found out its only 138k miles on the car. M-tech 1 steering and crack-free dash!!! included basketweave as spare tire.

He also selling 81k miles 90 325i white 4 doors auto-tragic for 2k.

If you have to ask these types of questions on a forum, you should likely save (AKA not spend frivolously) the money that you would spend on either.

Yes you re right. Like I said, I found a way to get them both.

More I think about bronzit car, More I feel that its not right to part it out because there's no reason to part it. No rusts or frame bend, Title clear.

88 auto-iS came with 3.73 LSD.



Get suspension.

1. you won't be wasting time taking things apart and trying to sell. Getting your money back for suspension in small increments is no fun.
2. You'll have the suspension on your car and a clean garage.
