There is a local listing around where i live for a 1995 red BMW 318ti for $5500 USD i believe it has an automatic not sure about the miles from given information would you say it is a good deal ? |  |  | | 08-24-2005, 03:41 AM | #2 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
Short answer: Based on my shopping over the past few months, that price is within the range that these cars usually sell for. Long answer: That's not a "bad" price, but there are several variables... - What is the general condition of the car? (interior, exterior, and engine)
- Does the owner have service records to indicate that the car has been taken care of?
- What is the mileage?
- Is it a Base model, or does it have the Active or Sport package?
- Does it have any features that typically add value? (e.g., alloy wheels or California Roof)
You also have to determine if the car is "what you really want." E.g., if you know that you want a 318ti with the Sport package, and the car in question is a Base model, you probably won't be satisfied with it regardless of how much you pay for it. | | | | | 08-24-2005, 04:00 AM | #3 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

I bought my 1995ti in October of 2004 with 83k miles on it, it was in great condition physically and mechanically with new brakes and clutch on my manual tranny. I got it for just under 6,000. | | | | | 08-24-2005, 10:51 PM | #5 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 19 |

I paid $5300 for mine 18 months ago with 122k but then it was a one-owner '98, meticulous maintenance history and records with the body-color rockers and bumpers, 5-spoke alloys, active package, and tractions control, dual airbags, etc. I've not seen anywhere that you even listed the mileage so it's a bit difficult to give you any comparative information except by chance. Have a look-see and come back with some more details.
