I really like the style of the 318ti, and I'm thinking pretty seriously about buying one, but I have a few requirements:

1. Has to be a manual transmission.
2. Has to be in decent shape, with no mechanical problems.
3. Has to be within reasonable distance of Missouri (I don't mind crossing a few state lines, but CA/NY cars are out).
4. Has to be under $6K, ideally closer to $5k.

Has anyone seen anything that fits this criteria? Or am I asking for too much?

Yeah, I've checked there, of course. It seems like (in this area, at least) autotrader has been overrun with dealerships, generally asking well above average prices. I'll keep my eyes on it, though - maybe eventually I'll get lucky. I'm not really in any hurry.

For the record, I'm also monitoring cragslist, cars.com, eBay, and local papers. I just thought that this forum might provide me with one more reasource. :)

That looks like an absolutely beautiful car. I wish I could buy it from you, but I'm afraid I'm severely hamstrung by requirement number 4 above. :frown:
Thanks for the heads-up, though, and good luck with the sale! :smile:

Hey, look at that, a fellow Missourian. :)

I will admit, I'm a bit put off by the salvage title, but I'm not completely close-minded. Have you got some recent pictures of the car, inside and out? What condition is it in, and what problems does it have? Any upcoming service that you think it might need?

Pretty much any details you can provide would be helpful. :)
