I really enjoyed driving it east to west on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, though lord knows how much I paid in tolls.

She drove it 400 miles after she bought it and the cooling system blew....It sat for 6 months, and I heard about it and gave em a few bucks for it. It is a mechanics special, it just had a JY motor put in it (the one that blew up) and everything was shot... They paid 3400 and drove it 400 miles....  __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 05-09-2011, 05:10 AM | #188 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Wichita Falls, Texas Posts: 1,364 |
It happens...that's why I get concerned when some of our young enthusiasts take the plunge on very high mileage ti's with no service histories. I admire their enthusiasm, however, and a car poorly bought can be a good lesson for the future. | | | | | 05-09-2011, 09:46 AM | #189 | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Phoenix Posts: 1 |

I'm about to make a decision on a 96 ti with 180,000 miles on it. what should i look for in the service histories? | | | | | 06-19-2011, 05:21 PM | #190 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: Albuquerque, NM Posts: 9 |  1996 318ti
 198,XXX miles, five speed, active package, no body rust, dirty cloth interior, AC works. Sat for 1 1/2 years due to blown head gasket/coolant leak. Starts and runs (kinda) drove it 7 blocks to my house. I'm the third owner and have the first two owners maintenance records. $355 because we could not jump start it and had to buy a new battery... I open up the engine next week to see what the damage is.  | | | | | 06-19-2011, 08:42 PM | #191 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |

Bought a white 96 ti, LSD and style 27 wheels with 174k miles and overheated engine for $75. Bought a used engine for $400 and got it running in 3 weeks after replacing the radiator and coolant hoses. It has 198k miles now and still runs like a champ. __________________
