yeah^^. Damn Dave you got a lot done by them. hmm definitely something to think about. I took a look last night at one actually through a dealer, (yes I know you would think but...) it was lower mileage than most of the other cars im looking at in the price range, its only got about 150k and is a 95, and the first offer they give me is 3 grand. So there is plenty of wiggle room there, I havent even driven it yet as it was just traded in so they had it at the service bay parked in between a few cars. And yes, its green.
I am also looking at a black 95 325is coupe but has 180k on it, however the people seem like an older coupe and have had it serviced by this same guy for years (cromwell automotive? anybody heard of them?). In her email she made sure to mention all the trouble spots, instead of just going, its an older car, its got problems. She specifically mentioned exterior dings and rips in the leather (neither which I care), but that the engine was perfect.
So I will keep my options open, but these two looked the most promising to not be "completely" shit on. Some of the cars that start at 2 grand look REALLY rough, if I can get the 3 grand ones down to 2300-2500, id rather do that, just cause I can at least get the thing on track without working on it too much. That $3-500 dollar difference is something id easily overlook for the convenience.
