Your kinda stuck. The front end and rear will probably cost about a grand and the flywheel will cost about the same also. Vacum could be simple or a few hundred bucks. But you probably have estimates from the mechanic. You can invest in the car and hope it will run pretty good for long enough to get your money back out or donate it. I don't think you are really gonna get much for it as she sits.
i had the same problems and had them fixed. Car runs great now. Glad I did them, but I can see your point and frustration.
Hi
I've been trying to sell my 86 535i. I started with a 2900 OBO asking price. I ran into a few problems recently. First there was a problem with the way the engine was running (believe now it's the vacuum because MPG is moving at idle). I took it in and had mechanic tell me the front ball joints are bad and the rear axle bushing is also bad. He wouldn't work on the first problem til those were done. I took the car and dropped the price to $2300 OBO. The teeth on the starter (or flywheel) had been slipping for a while. I believe that problem has gotton to where it will no longer start until it's fixed. I still want to sell this car, but I don't plan to put anymore money into it. It's white with blue velour interior. 170k miles. Automatic. All power options work. I was wondering if anyone here was interested in this car or knew someone that was. I'm 40 miles west of Detroit. I really want to get something for this car rather then donate it and see what I get from taxes. Any reasonable offer will be accepted.
Thank You
Sari
