I’m looking into an older BMW and need opinions on whether its a good buy. Also things I should look for before I buy the car. I plan on having Mike at Capitol Region Customs put it on the lift and inspect it. He wanted 4000 originally but we agreed on 3500 if I decide to buy it. Any info you could give me would be helpful.

For what its worth, this BMW has been offered to me on two separate occasions in trade for other vehicles over the past four months or so. I never got further than texting back and forth, but it does seem like the owner has been looking to move it for a while.

Thanks Vlad definetly some good info in there. I saw an ad from a month ago or so so its been listed for awhile. I think its because hes pretty stubborn on the price. I got him down to 3350 and thats well below book so I guess if Mike gives it the go ahead Ill grab it.

You could probably find a year newer, e46 for not much more. Might be better.
