Default 95 318ti Sport... good deal?

I am looking to buy a 318ti from a friend of mine and I want to get an idea if it is a good deal. It is a 95 318ti Sport (thanks to those who helped to identify), 99k miles, automatic, power sunroof, all stock except for the clear 'Euro' blinkers. A few pics of it can be seen at

http://members12.clubphoto.com/rober...31/guest.phtml

His 'bottom line' deal is $4500 including a Kenwood system with amp, crossover and subs and a set of 17" M3 wheels. All the car seems to need is a paint job (hood is faded) and a new headliner. He has all service records and has been running Mobil1 synthetic since day 1. Does this sound like a good deal for this car?

Thanks,
-Rob

It seems that some headliners are starting to come loose.
But a faded hood? Was it in an accident?

Do the baby booties come with the car?

I'd say 4500 is dirt cheap.

No, it has not been in an accident, just spent too much time out in the Florida sun.

I have just ordered one from japan. You mention yours is a Sport. How do you know? I have compared my photos with yours and the cars look the same (other than i have a red interior).
