Default Checking out blue '95 318ti tomorrow...

So I am going to see blue '95 5sp with 106K miles for $4,500 at a used car dealer near Boston. Price looks fine for the miles and based on Carfax it seems like previous owner serviced car at the dealer.

Any money-pits to watch out for?

I am so thrilled!

Well, sounds like a good deal to me. Take pics and post them up when you go see it. Then everyone will be able to throw in their opinion.

I already got insurance for it to drive it back in case things check out fine. I just feel if I wait with a decision to buy I might loose this deal too. I've been already late twice on some sweet deals.

Here are pics. Looks like active package, but I'd love the sport seats.

Went there ready to take it, but unfortunately it needed body work for like one grand - rust and bad dent on passenger side. Not shown in pics and not told about when inquired over phone.

Will keep looking...

Yea man, looking around on the east coast is tough. I found mine in Greenwich, CT. I paid more for it because of that stuckup area but it was fully serviced and well cared for. Just plan making a trip for it and you can find one. Best of luck looking.

Well, I am out of 318ti scene. I came across a classified that same evening that I came from Boston, listing '92 325ci. Saw the car next Sunday morning and purchased it. Excellent condition despite 200K miles, came with hard top, snows and some extra parts.
