'97 318ti 5-spd, white, Active, 103k miles in Virginia

[Phil Marx]

***Thanks for everyone's interest. This car has been sold to a new list member!

I have a good friend who's selling a '97 Active White 5-speed with 103k. He bought if from me when I had a dealership and the car was about a year old. He's had two daughters use the car without incident (still all original paint) and he's a car nut with just too many cars. It hasn't seen regular use since he put his youngest in his wife's Mini two years ago and she's headed to college. He was going to save it as a project engine-transplant candidate but he has too many other classic car projects so reality tells him it's time to go.

White, gray cloth, sunroof, 5-speed, cruise, AST, all service records, all original paint. New clutch 5,000-miles ago. Some minor staining of fabric on seats but no rips or tears. CEL and Airbag lights have been fixed but are back on, and headliner is starting to sag in spots. Always garaged and well maintained. He's looking for $5,000 and will throw in four steel wheels with worn Blizzaks if you want them.

I hope to have photos and more details in a short while. I haven't seen the car in two years. Feel free to contact me. The seller isn't big on dealing with this and I convinced him it might go to a better home if sold off this list. I originally posted this in a WTB thread in response to a want-ad.

I'm sure the seller would be happy to make a donation here if it sells. The car is located outside Charlottesville, VA, two-hours south of Washington, DC.

Thanks,

-Phil
