Original owner, spent a lot of time and money on this car (with help of Sheni at Sheni’sAutoTrend). A lot of fun to drive, 0-60 high 5s low 6s. Pictures were taken today, winter wheels are shown. Was hit by a piece of wood on highway 2 which took out left grill. Engine runs well. Climate control unit sometimes flickers on and off. Windshield has a large crack. AC not connected. No driver airbag. This is an enthusiast’s car, not a good daily driver. Clutch is heavy, shifting is heavy, lightweight flywheel makes RPMs rise and drop very quickly. Looking for a good home for someone who will enjoy driving it. Tired of dealing with bmw repairs. Looking for a deposit to lease a car for me and my wife. No parting, No trades. No low balling, price is already low.

Asking Price : SOLD! To a good home, I hope you enjoy the car as much as I did.

Ummm...isn't that roughly how much they're worth, they're definitely not worth 3 800 ahhahah...if so, I got cash for him right now!

[Canucks3322]

WHAT WTF? IT ACTUALLY WAS 3800???

Oops, I guess 13 800 is a bit much, but 3 800 would be a good deal assuming it runs?

You think that a 12 year old base model BMW is worth almost 14k? How much acid did you take today?

I'm not bashing this thread, to the O.P. great price! GL with the sale! :thumbsup:

97 bmw 318 are worth no more than 7000-7500 but 3800 thats a steal

thanks for the feedback everyone. the car was definitely priced to sell as is. got 12+ calls and 3 test drives on a sunday night. took a deposit from the first driver so we'll see if the sell is final tomorrow. i have a few people lined up who will take it if this one falls through

i think that at 3800 anyone who buys it will enjoy it and understand that its an older bmw (and supercharged) and repairs will probably come up. i do think that the price was low but i need to get a daily driver and at that price i feel very comfortable selling it and feeling that someone got a good deal for it (as the windshield needs replacing, heater needs to be fixed/replaced, grill + front bumper, etc)

it looks as if the new owner has the car downgraded and yet is selling for nearly 2k more then you were asking.
