Title: Found a 1991 318is, what would be a good deal?
Post by: alexd on September 26, 2006, 09:37:33 PM

The car has stayed in the same family since new, has been thru one Pittsburgh winter and stayed the rest of the time down in FL, it is back up here now and only gets driven on nice days.  It is red/black and has 108,000 miles on the ododmeter.  Car is super clean, inside and out - could be considered a 8-9 on a scale from 1-10.  

What would be a fair price to pay for this car?

Thanks.

Whew!  When I was looking I found prices left and right of center.  Finally I had to set a price cap and look for cars within a budget.  I think it took me longer but I am glad I did wait.  Good luck!

Same family owned .Low mileage ,NO RUST ???
If they have all the history of the car and a carfax came back clean then
I don't think $4500 is unreasonable . These are getting rarer every year .
Good Luck:cool:
My two cents

Yeah this car is really straight and clean, I saw it the other day.  And at 4500 I think it would make a fun toy to play with.

Red with black interior is my favorite .
Most have red with tan interior I believe .At least mine does .
 I spent $ 3500.00 for  mine with 179,000 miles .two owner and very good condition . Dealer Maintained .
If you like it and can afford it then get it cause you won't regret it .It's a great car.:)

I would only pay retail from Kelly blue book or NADA. When I bought mine, I agreed to NADA resale and went home, two weeks later he called and asked If I still wanted It? I wrote him a check that afternoon!
