WTB: in New England- Unmodded 318ti MANUAL w/120k or less on the clock

[chasepgt]

Hi guys-

I briefly owned a 1998 318ti (2 days) back in 2003, and loved it, but had to return it due to headgasket issues and was never able to find a replacment. ((thank god for lemon laws!). Anyways, with tax refunds around the corner, I'm starting my search again 5 years later for another Ti...

I'm flexible on color, but would prefer blue or black.

Most important thing to me is I'm looking for something relatively fresh, and unmolested. I plan on leaving the car mostly stock minus a short throw shifter and new rubber.

My dream Ti, would have 80k miles on it, have black cloth interior and dent free blue exterior topped with the california Roof.

I'm guessing there was probably 3 cars built to this configureation spec, but here's to dreaming!

Again, I'm not looking for a project, but then again, it doesn't have to be 100% show room either. Just no dents or major mechanical issues...

Anybody seen anythign in the New England area for sale lately? ? ? ?

Thx for the welcome!

Besides, Autotrader, ebay, and craigslist- are there any other resources or 318 specific sites or avenues I can utilize to find the car i'm looking for? I know this is kind of a stupid question, but I just don't see anythign in the north east available via my normal resources or on the used lots in my area. Very frustrating!

try bargainnews.com its a new england thing mostly.

what you want is a hard find. i doubt you'll find something like that... and if you do, it will be an auto
