Title: CA: Clean 318is on craigslist (not mine)

I went and checked this car out a couple of weeks ago.  I ended up getting a different car (cheaper, options I wanted, but not as clean and more miles), so I figured I'd pass this one on to you guys.  It's completely stock, sealed beams, sunroof, open diff, tan interior, runs and drives fine.  His price is above what I was willing to pay but I don't think he's that far off.  

Bad:
Power steering is disconnected (don't know why).  I barely noticed.
SRS light on.
Exhaust leak that could possibly cover up other noises (I didn't hear anything weird).

Good:
Jesus christ this thing is clean.  Still has cosmoline in the engine bay, and the engine bay is very clean.  I ran an auto-check thing on it, comes up with no accidents and true to mileage.  Everything works.  Barely leaks anything.  This was no question the cleanest car I looked at.

Again, this is not my car.  I met with the seller once and test drove it for 15-20 minutes, that's about it.  If you have questions about it, PM me.
