He's asking dealer retail for it. My guess is that he might get 6k for it if he's willing to wait for a buyer. A dealer would probably drop the price down to $5,500 to move it off the lot. Maybe offer him around that much and if he doesn't bite, tell him to call you if he changes his mind. He may have a tough time selling a 4 door 318.

Good morning. I'm looking at a '91 318i 4 door, 5 speed. Yea, I know most prople reco a 6 cylinder, but I like this car. Looking for my teenager. Its a one owner car, 99K miles, dealer service until warranty was out, then a good independent BMW shop in town, service records. Really good condition, original paint, vinyl interior very good. Drove it - clutch light, engine smooth, steering good, suspension tight. No rust. The head gasket was replaced a long time ago under warranty. This was a base car - no OBC, steel wheels, but does have a/c.

He's asking 6900. I offered 4500, but he said no. I think I was the first to look at it. So Im thinking about it. Maybe offer 5200 or 5300 - but I think that is about it. To go to 5-5500, I'll wait for a 6-cylinder, or look for a 88, 89, 90 model.

Thoughts on a fair price? Thanks!
