I don't get on here much, but I might have your dream car, in your price range, and relatively close.
Its not really posted for sale anywhere, but I've been debating getting something different.
I'll throw up specs for the sake of not posting a ton of useless info. If you want the story behind the car, simply email me at
bleuii78@hotmail.com Specs:
1998 318Ti Sport
JUST rolled over 100,xxx before it was put up for the winter (Mostly highway, drove back and forth from Toledo to Youngstown weekly, took the bimmer in the summers)
White
5 Speed
No moonroof / sunroof
I'm in NW Ohio
The only mod that I would say is not tasteful is the valve cover, which isn't bad. I just had it powdercoated green.
The good: Bought in AR, doesn't get driven in salt (no rust), currently rolling on e46 wheels, have the original e36 sport wheels it came with. Also has a 10 disc changer, dark tinted windows and supersprint exhaust.
The bad: VERY Small dent in the rear, sagging headliner (both easy fixes) slight bolster wear on driver's seat. (11 year old car.) A few pieces needed for the front bumper. (Splash guard and passenger brake duct.) The only other bad -you're going to have to wait a bit to pick it up, as there will be no test drives when there is snow / salt on the ground.
I'm still not 100% on doing this, but asking price would be $6,500.00
