Car looks good but it’s starting to show that is old and worn out. I’m looking at a 2001 C230 with 70K miles and selling for $11,500.00 If I get it tomorrow I would like to sell the TI. I think that $2,000.00 Should be an honest price for it, what you all think? My TI is the one on my signature and photo __________________ 230K plus miles baby!!! | | | 12-20-2007, 02:09 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | How bad is the engine miss?

I got the wheels from some one in here and they saw my TI in person, that's if they remember. Cool dude he was. __________________ 230K plus miles baby!!! | | | 12-20-2007, 03:07 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Doesnt seem too bad, any other quirks with the car? __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 12-20-2007, 03:18 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Philly, PA Posts: 189 | Pas side window regulator broke so window is close all the time, wipers come on at random sometimes, all tires match much needs new ones, has a small crack on the windshield (nothing bad) and regular wear and tear here and there nothing big. I just had it inspected this past November and it passed to include OBDII test. The interior is 7 from 1-10 and is that fake leather stuff. This is all I can think of at this time. I run only 93 octane gas, why? It makes me feel better. I’m not rich but I make it happen. If you do a search using user ID you can read past post I’ve had in reference to problem with the car. __________________ 230K plus miles baby!!! | | | 12-20-2007, 03:40 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | also how are the window regulators? any more pictures? im sure someone here will swoop it up real quick __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 12-20-2007, 04:46 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Philly, PA Posts: 189 | Driver side Win Regulator acts up from time to time, Pas side is broke, needs new one. __________________ 230K plus miles baby!!! | | | 12-20-2007, 04:50 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | hmmmmm don't do it Josh! __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 12-20-2007, 05:05 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | hahaha i can afford to this time. i have other fish to fry. but wait! maybe if i get a good settlement from this back issue i could get it! its my favorite colors ti too and i could swap a motor right in sell my green car and boom be all done with a beautiful 98 6 cyl ti but i think i would rather get the isetta and work on the e30 but hey you never know i will deff keep this in mind! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 12-20-2007, 05:07 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Kids today...tsk-tsk lol __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 12-20-2007, 05:27 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | ok ok so the first step is admitting your problem hi my name is josh and im addicted to bmw 318ti's i cant help but to love the beautiful design and amazing feel of driving it around sharp turns! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 12-21-2007, 07:38 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | lol, how many cars do you have, it got cut off in your profile at "2006 h" | | | 12-21-2007, 07:43 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | Quote: Originally Posted by tiFreek lol, how many cars do you have, it got cut off in your profile at "2006 h" | 1996 318ti active 1986 325es 1995 318ti sport 1990 nissan sentra 2006 honda Ruckus thats it lol __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
