Looking to purchase 318ti in a good mechanical shape. Regular wear and tear is expected but nothing major. Below 200K miles. No rust. Clear title.
MUST HAVE: 5 speed transmission
PREFERRED: Active package, black interior.
My budget is $4K, negotiable.

EDIT: I think I can do without Cali top, sunroof will be fine. | | | | | 05-21-2007, 04:59 AM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Lake Oswego, OR Posts: 136 |

Yea, I am not in a hurry myself. I drove my cousins '93 325i and not sure if I liked it that much. It's kinda small... (I had '95 Nissan Maxima before). | | | | | 05-22-2007, 04:11 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Lake Oswego, OR Posts: 136 |

So far I've used the back seats for passengers once, and it was one kid, who was small. I think of the ti more like a 2 seater with a large trunk. I like the size of it  | | | | | 05-22-2007, 04:33 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 1,305 |

Quote: | Originally Posted by Zacki lol, if u think the sedan is small, don't get the ti. | Actually this is why I like ti, because you can drop down back seats and have one large trunk and have two people sitting comfortable in the front. | | | | | 05-25-2007, 04:14 PM | #12 | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Stamford, CT Posts: 20 |
I decided to dump Cali top idea and go with regular sunroof. So far no good deal came up in my area. I decided to call a guy I know who is a used car dealer and see if he can snatch nice ti for me somewhere at the auction.
I know that buying blind this way I will not know what issues car might have, but considering that most of ti"s are in their 100K major TLC would be required anyways, plus I will save some good money by going through him. | | | | | 06-02-2007, 09:38 PM | #13 | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Stamford, CT Posts: 20 |
On Monday I should get a list of what is available at auctions nationwide. Can't wait . | | | | |
