Inline 6 3 series get upwards of 20mpg and I’ve seen 28 when I dont drive like an ass. The 318 is the bastard child of BMW, not to mention you can find them for $3-4k. $8k? Referance that burning money image. ---

Birthday: July 26, 1985 I don’t care about your credit score, what **credit history** do you have? Paying 9% on $8K for a 10 yr old 318 🤣 ---

for 8k you can get a nice ~98 328is. private party is key. also, parts on a bmw are relatively cheap, with the exception of big ticket items like fuel pumps and whatnot. the only way you get raped is if you don’t do the work yourself. ---

Thanks for the replies. No doubt I could get a 318 for 4k or so, but they have high miles, 100k or more usually. As far as 9.3%, that because capital one sucks. Older cars they jack the rates, on newer cars I was getting 5.9-6.5% or so. I’ll keep looking and see what I can find, any recommendations for a luxurious car with decent gas mileage? I’m trying to stay under $10k on price. ---

im serious. you can get a 328is with nice mileage for that amount of money. just look around man, its not that hard. i’ve either bought or sold 20 vehicles on this website (and ubrf). check ebay, [cars.com](http://cars.com), autotrader, and car-specific forums. if you want a bimmer, check bimmerforums, maxbimmer, etc ---
