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 Is this a nice 318ti?

I'm sort of new to the forums and I was looking at some 318ti's and I came across this one which seemed to be a better deal than some of the other ones that i had seen. Could you guys look at it and tell me what you think. It is a 1995 318ti and he wants 4200 for it. I emailed the guy and he said it had 120000 and no rust. Here is the link:

I also was curious as to what kind of interior it had. I couldn't really tell from the picture it looks like cloth, but I'm not entirely sure. thanks.
Mickey,

The new headliner and front end work are pluses.

Stick shift is good.

Looks like plain fabric interior - nothing special there.

At 120,000 there will be some oil leaks and little things that need attention.

You can probably get the price a little lower, but it sounds pretty well maintained as far as I can tell from an ad.

Good luck.

I can put you in contact with my mechanic here in Nashville if you want to have the car inspected. My mechanic loves 318ti's so he's quite knowledgeable about them.

Thanks, I would appreciate that, as I would like to have it inspected before I buy it.

4k seems good to me. 3800 would be a great pick up.

have your mechanic check for frozen calipers.

looks good to me, it's missing some trim on the front bumper but that's not to expensive to replace and it doesn't look like the bumper itself has been damaged
