I do the washing and polishing, my wife gets to drive it. Our Jeep Grand Cherokee finally died and we had a choice of buying a 2001 Sunfire or a 1995 318ti. After second of thinking we went for the bimmer...tough choice,lol. While it has almost 400k on it and needs some body work, it was by far the better vehicle. It kinda reminds me of the Scorpio we had a few years ago. I've already contacted a parts reseller in T.O. and we will be picking a fender for it next weekend. My wish list for parts are...carpeted floor mats, a luggage cover, CD radio, extra keys. Anyway, I look forward to this site, chatting and all the info I can gather | | | 05-30-2009, 07:09 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 | Welcome to the site!
