Default 1998 BMW 318ti - Metallic green, 5spd, 113K miles

My ti has been a great adventure, but I'm finding it hard to justify having two cars. Asking $4,000 but willing to negotiate with someone who knows the car and will be able to keep it in good shape going forward.

Metallic green, active package (cruise, OBC, sunroof), 113,XXX miles, 5 speed manual, leather interior. Includes the roof rack and fairing.

Disclosures: No check engine lights or similar and it did fine on emissions. Headliner is starting to sag in places, little nagging interior trim issues (door handle trim, radio, panel under rear driver window) due to me manhandling stuff. Power locks don't engage driver's side and lock is starting to get finicky.

After picking up the car I did a full cooling system rebuild including the plastic pieces that connect to the block. While I was in there I replaced the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, and had the fuel injectors cleaned and calibrated. Later on I refreshed the front suspension including Bilstein Heavy Duty struts and redid everything with the power steering and rack short of the pump. So that's a lot of maintenance taken care of

Remaining issues I am aware of from the last shop visit are the transmission output shaft seal and potentially a slow oil leak from the front engine cover, but the oil filter housing gasket seemed to be the main culprit.
