I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Default Mileage too high ??? 200k

I found a local Ti for sale. It is at a local car lot that they purchased from auction. The car is a 1 owner Alabama car w/ records. No wreck damage & clean carfax. The plastic cooling system parts have been replaced. The P.O. also used synthetic oil. The window tracks had been replaced.

The only 2 issues I found are 1) it has 202k miles, 2) smelled a rotten egg odor, from the exhaust 3) the driver's pull handle & mirror switch are missing. The car didn't quite have the power I've seen in other Ti's. The salesman said the BMW mech that just looked at the car said it needed a tune-up. Now why did it see a mech??? The car lot wouldn't have taken it to a shop unless something was amiss.
