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

Default I found one! So close,

I found a ti near me that I like! It's so far perfect, good price, very good mileage, awesome color

What do ya guys think?

I'm going to try to get a VIN so I can see the carfax/orginal specs. Hehe, I'm so happy.

Looks like a pretty good find. The only drawback (IMO) is that it's an automatic.

Looks good. Only thing I don't like is the automatic. I'm no longer a fan of BMW automatics..

Since it is a Florida car see if you can get the normal maintenance records. If it has not had the water pump, thermostat, and radiator replaced expect that you may need to get them replaced. I would also just plan on changing all of the fluids as soon as you get the car, diff, trans, oil, coolant.

Good luck, and hopefully you'll be in the club soon.

Now off to make a cheat sheet on what to look for! Just can't wait for it, hehehe.

I'm wondering,

Which one is this?

I'm doubting the sport, so could it be a Base or Active?
