Depends on what you're planning to do with it. If the car is in basically good shape except for the paint, $2500 is reasonable. I drive a completely stock automatic 4cyl 97 'ti (I previously owned a 96 same) and have been happy with both cars as daily drivers. For BMWs they're remarkably cheap to maintain. The engine happily uses synthetic blend oil and the French-built GM transmission uses Dexron ATF. If you decide you want to upgrade anything on the 'ti there are plenty of aftermarket parts to satisfy your craving. Or, just leave it stock. Up to you. For $2500, buy it, maintain it and perhaps respray it. |
