One thing I noticed was "adjustable steering wheel" and "tilt steering column" both of which never came on any ti I know of, except mine, but then again, I retrofitted this to my car. Not that it's going to matter much since you bought the car already. __________________

No one can tell you if YOU paid too much really..... If you feel like you're happy with the car for that price, then you got a deal. I talked the old man who had my car down to $4000 cash. But this was also near beverly hills, where a 96 ti sport is old news lol. __________________

As long as it doesn't explode or anything!  That may or may not put a damper on the trip, but I guess it depends on how you view it! lol __________________ '96 Alaska Blue ti w/ Supersprint cat-back exhaust...Dinan CAI & Chip...Eibach Pro-Kit Springs...Bilstein Sport shocks...BavAuto camber kit...Brembo d/s rotors...UUC SSK...Centerforce Dual Friction clutch...TMS 9lb flywheel...18 inch OZ Rims...Carbon-Fiber dash/gauge bezel...Momo Shift Knob...Indiglo gauges...Schroth Harness...ZKW's/ProLumen 6k HID...Predator Chromiums

i definently agree with the comment about paying too much....because when i got this car, my mom thought 8700 was too much (even though we talked him down from 9500...but it was worth it to me because i liked the car....but either way its beneficial to get the best deal you can on the car... just because you may be willing to pay 8600 dollars for a car...doestn mean you shouldnt or couldnt try and pay less...paying less just gives you more cash to do some cool mods  __________________ 1995 318ti Active

Living in slo, I would have took a nice little trip down to the la area. In santa anna thry have the la public auctions, with tons of 98 5 series foer about $10k each. I'm not sure how you feel about 5 series though. Take a drive down to la this weekend, you may not find a ti, but I'm sure you can fond an affordable e36 without havong to drive that far to pick it up __________________

If you drive through cleveland and need a good mech check out Brett Anderson at koalamotorsport.com. Get his phone # in advance though because he doesn't post it on his website to keep down the not-serious callers. __________________

I can't comment on whether it was a good deal - what I've found is that it all comes down to how the car's been maintained. Here are some facts:
I was watching that auction, and called on the car. The guy said - "if you want to see it, hurry, because I't s a hot car right now - I've had lot's of inquirys" It's 100 miles from my house, and I could'nt get there before the Auction ended.
I'm in the process of closing on a 98 ti with 96,000 mi he was asking 75K. I test drove (5) 318tis this week and found two from private partys that were well kept Bimmers. One was a 95 with 159,000 mi that was worth every penny of the 5900 asking price. (no leather, but real clean 3rd owner car)
Good luck with yours -... by the way, the dealer in Saugus had it listed on-line and in Auto-Trader for $9,999. (I figured because he also had it on E-bay and didn't want to mess up his auction for less).
