Hey guys. I'm looking at picking up a ti and I saw this one on AutoTrader that could be a good deal. Here is the AutoTrader and CarFax link. AutoTrader - 1996 BMW 318ti CarFax - 1996 BMW 318ti 82,998mi and the asking price is $7,500obo. From the pictures, it looks like it has a Cali top. Car is being offered by a dealer. Do you all think it would be a good purchase? I'm definitely gonna try and haggle on the price, but I wanted to find out from you guys if it's even worth it. |  |  | | 01-08-2008, 01:15 AM | #2 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
Looks like a pretty nice car. It definitely has a cali-top, which is nice providing that it doesn't leak. Extremely low miles are a plus, but the base body is meh... Definitely worth checking out, but I wouldn't pay more than 5500 for it. LMK how it works out for you, I might be selling my clubsport pretty soon. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 01-08-2008, 01:18 AM | #3 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: San Diego, CA Posts: 6 |

I'll probably take a look this weekend. Out of curiosity, how much would you be selling your Club Sport for? | | | | | 01-08-2008, 03:00 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
