Not mine, gonna check out the "V6"

dude said: This car is a 1994 BMW 325IS V6 with 91,000 miles. This car runs and drives great. I have never had any trouble with the car starting or stalling. It's very fast (added performance chip for increased HP). Although everything works correctly with the engine and driving there are issues that you need to know about before considering for purchase. 1. The drivers side window does not work (its stuck in the down position which has led to it being rained in) 2. The leather seats need seat covers due to cracking 3. The roof of the interior needs fixes due to some of the cloth falling down 5. there is a dent on the drivers door (exterior) 6. The drivers side door panel (interior) has been removed in an attempt to fix the window but the panel can easily be put back on ( i have it) 7. The exterior paint is more of a matte black finish. I tried to custom repaint the car a couple of years back and I couldn't get the glossy look The car has a brand new battery, drives great, runs great, and is sold AS IS. It has not been driven consistently for almost 4 months now so it will probably burn off engine oil for the first 15 minutes of test driving. I need this car sold by Saturday the 17th. So all offers will be considered. I've tried to cover all that needs to be fixed on the car, however there may be smaller cosmetic fixes that aren't apparent to me.

I'm looking at a 4 door 92 325i in Wisconson to buy for the $2010 challenge and it is twice that price. I agree with Ian Don't think, just buy. If I was closer to I would.

ad says:

"The car has a brand new battery, drives great, runs great, and is sold AS IS. It has not been driven consistently for almost 4 months now so it will probably burn off engine oil for the first 15 minutes of test driving. "

which really means:

"piston rings totally shot, so test drives will be limited to less than 15 minutes so the excuse i made above will seem plausible to anyone with their head up their ass."

If that were in Michigan I would so buy it and not finish it.

Who the hell cares? It's $500... So what if the engine is toast... strip/sell of the interior, drop in a SBC and you'll probably end up with a Challenge car for free (ignoring the "actual" $250 limit).

Add to that: "I need this car sold by Saturday the 17th. So all offers will be considered."

Which means "I put $500 to bait people into a bidding war."
