My $.02 Re: Good price for 1993 318i? (archive)

Really depends where you live. If you live in major cities cars are usually more expensive but if you live in rural areas they are cheaper. For example I bought my 93 325is for $15K for the sports package, permium sound package, and 60K miles on it. Now I thought this was a great deal since most dealerships where selling it for more. Now my friend in Kansas says that was a rip off and said she found one for only $13K. But the car I got was in great shape because the person rarley ever drove it and I had a mechanic check it also and gave it a clean bill of health. Anyways I know this was a longer answer but I would probably pay $10K to $13K depending on a lot of factors. But for a few Thousand more I would get the 325. Also with the E36 before 95 I think has a plastic fuel impeller, Make sure it has been chnaged to a metal one many people say they're dangerous. And tell your son he is very lucky. I was finally able to buy mine after wanting one for six years. Good luck

: I'm looking for a car for my son and found a '93 318i. It is in great shape and mechanically it looks very good. There is a slight rear end howl at 60+ but that's the only fault I've found. It has 105,000 on it which is my greatest concern.

: What's a good price that I should offer the guy? Also are there any mechanical concerns that I should check into with this mileage?

: I'm usually on the Z3 board but hopefully will be on this one too once we get the E36. Thanks in advance!!
