Scott,

The biggest problems with these cars are the timming belts. Look close at the service records to make sure it was changed, and if it is unsure, check the date stamp on the head above #2 intake. Even though the book says 60k, change them at 50k just to be sure. Wheel bearing normally last about 150-200k, and normally you should get at least 300k out of the motor if it is take car of, I have know folks to get 400k plus. Look for rust in the battery box, that is normally where it tends to reside. Good luck and I hope this helps!

: I came across a clean 88 325 2 dr auto in search fir a car for my daughter, I'm not familiar with this model
: (3-02's in the past) Any pros or cons, anything to look out for? the body surface seems to be rust free, interior looks unmarked.
