The price does sound a tad low, but you don't know the buyers circumstances either. Some people will put a low price tag on things in order to sell fast. The main thing you want to find out is when the last timing belt change was. This engine is a real workhorse, the only weak link being the timing belt. If you decide to buy the car, make sure you change the belt and the water pump. The water pump may not be bad...but it's wise to replace it when doing a timing belt. The cost of this repair will be in the $300 range if you have a mechanic do it for you, and less than $100 if you do it yourself. Most people will say that the '89 model was the best year for the 325, so don't fret about that. Feel free to ask any questions...we'll be here.
