1991, 105K and $15K? Hmmm, mine has 130K miles and I wouldn't consider letting it go for anything less than $25K. Sounds too good to be true, and as we all know, anything that sounds to good to be true usually is. However I did get mine in 1997 with 53K miles for $32K when most were going selling in the 36-38K range because the dealer had it on their lot for 9 months (could tell due to the inspection sticker date made out to the dealer) and it didn't have much paperwork (yes, I know, you aren't supposed to buy one without the paperwork, but that was 73,000 relatively trouble-free miles ago). My .02USD worth.

: I am considering a 1991 850i (the guy says it is a 850ci, but we know better), anyway, it has 105k, new tires and runs good. Is $15k a good price? How many miles do these cars usually get? What key questions should I ask him? I know every car has its own little quirks, and I figured you guys would know what they are and what to watch out for. Thanks. P.S. I think I will keep the NSX and get the 850, too!
