180k miles...I wouldn't pay anymore than 1k because it's probably gonna die out real soon.

That guy might want to remove those stripes.

Die out?... What are you talking about?

If you are talking about the engine, I highly doubt that. BMWs are built to last.

Though, over time, you may have to start replacing a lot of parts.

I would pass.

I don't get it...why does it matter that the engine's bullet-proof?

just in case someone tries to shot your engine....duh

I would slap you if you bought that for 12,000.... it's rediculous... there are WAY better deals for 12,000 dollars...

[snikwad]

thats doable, it may need a lot of work shortly after tho, depending on how well he mantained it. but still a 97 w/180k for $12 that sounds a tad over value, id push to get it for about $10 and then get to work on it.

But yeah THOSE STRIPES WOULD HAVE TO GO.

[Skipjacks]

Those stripes are wrong on every car, every model, every year they ever been used.

Bulletproof meaning its very strong internally built.

play on words its not actually "BULLETPROOF"
