Good deal on good car

[Windmilla]

I've found a BMW 1994 318is for $6,000.. It has 74,000 miles on it. Seems like a good deal, 5 speed w/ leather.. Going to look at it tommorrow, good deal eh guys?

it should be less... an 11 year old car... offer him 5k.... he'll take it!

im about to start crying... my baby's worth more than that!!! lol

thats very low milage. i'd pay 6K for it. i'm looking for a 325is tho, i want the power so i'm prob gunna end up paying another 1000 for a higher milage car.

If your looking for a 325, then you might as well add the 328 to your list as well....

Only 1 or 2 more ponies, but that extra 25lb of torque makes the 328 a totally different animal.

that price is fine, go for it you will love that car

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing too.. kind of odd that its from a dealer i might try to get it a bit cheaper though

[TMac325is]

if its from a dealer be sure to have it checked out by your own mechanic, they could try to screw you if its not a well known dealership

if i were u and i was getting an older car, try to get a 325, or anything with a straight six.. dunno, personally i wouldnt pay that much, people here, where i live sell 325 just about the same year for 4500-5K.. but u know, different areas diff prices i guess

[Windmilla]

This one has less miles on it though xperf, like 74,000 total

[xsperf]

true true, but again u have to take into fact how the previous owner drove.. if its a stick, is the clutch still good?

[Windmilla]

what area are you in anyways xperf?

[xsperf]

im in ny

Sorry, but if you want us to say if its a good deal or not, we need to know where you live, and how much similar 325is's sell for in your area. Spouting off how much others would pay is pretty useless unless they live in the same market, and know the going rate...

Since I don't know where you live, I'll just suggest checking the local prices for similar rides on your favorite newpapers, or online car listing sites. Remember that the prices you see are the initial asking prices; not the final selling price!

Good Luck, and let us know what you end up doing...

I bought a 318is in the UK for £3200 = $5600

89,000 miles, leather, cd changer

Dont know if that helps at all?

But what I do know is that I love this car...plenty of grunt at mid range upwards!

And all the bits still work!!

Go for it...J
