I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Welcome to the forum, Kyle!

There are a few ti's for sale on CL, but it is tough finding a decent one... I don't have any leads now, but keep us posted!

Nice ones come around once in a while. Suggest that you be willing to go outside your state of even region when you find a nice one that you really like. Check autotrader, bmwcca, and cars.com daily, and over time you'll get a good feel for what's a good deal. I live in Texas and found the car I wanted in Pennsylvania. Had a great time driving it home. Good luck, and have fun hunting the ti of your dreams. They're really fun to own, drive, and maintain.

Good for you. Tell us about it. How far from home did you find it?

I found it on this site actually. It was right across the bay from me but had been in storage for two years. The owner was living abroad and came back to sell her baby. It was very well cared but not with the detail that we are used to on this site. All the common problems are all there, headliner, a-pillars, stereo LCD, control arms, etc. It's a base auto with I'm guessing no options.

It'll be my daily driver so I can start looking for a manual to convert to a track car. At least that's the dream in my head at the moment.
