- Does the owner have service records to indicate that the car has been taken care of?
- What is the mileage?
- Is it a Base model, or does it have the Active or Sport package?
- Does it have any features that typically add value? (e.g., alloy wheels or California Roof)
You also have to determine if the car is "what you really want." E.g., if you know that you want a 318ti with the Sport package, and the car in question is a Base model, you probably won't be satisfied with it regardless of how much you pay for it. | yeah, what he said  way too many variables and not enough info to say whether that is a good price. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
