not mine no affiliation.

i found this while looking for a car for my nephew, so i traded emails and phone calls with the owner. he's the second owner, bought it from an estate in FL, he's owned it 5 years. he was saving for a new car, and when the exhaust pipe broke he took that as a sign to go get something new. now this is sitting in front of the house with no tags and the neighbors are breaking his balls or something like that, so it's gotta go. he said he'd take $650 since it'll need to be towed, but you can drive it away if you're so inclined. i love the color combo, maroon over cream interior. paint is dead on horizontal surfaces, clear is peeling too. gotta be gone this week.

That's funny. I almost bought the same car in gray a couple of months ago. Same mileage, same interior, same peeling clear coat, but needing a clutch and only $500.

Different market, but thanks for clarifying that I should be able to find one WAY cheaper than I've seen locally, recently...

You know, for years I thought they were really ugly. And now, I just wish BMWs looked like that again. Sure, I'd rather have a 325is, but they all seem to be pretty well used up by now. I'd like to own an 80s 5 series, but mainly to learn about Bimmers.

in the seller's first reply to me, he said he was going to call bavarian recycling (iirc) because they would give him cash and pick it up. today CL says "this posting has expired". i guess he wasn't kidding.
