Hello, I own an 86 325es and I love it. My Dad is considering either a 3 wagon or 5 sedan. How has the reliability been with your cars so far? How have repair costs been? Our local dealerships around Shaker Hts, Oh are from $75-90. I personally only bring my car to Brett Anderson www.koalamotorsport.com. Also, should we consider certified cars or service loaners. There is a service loaner 5 wagon with 16k for only $36,00. Originally it was around $50K I think. I have a feeling you just cut a lot of depreciation with certified cars. My Dad has never bought a used car though and he is worried that it may have been abused.
thanks for the advice,

Mark Distelhorst
