Oh, I remember my 1989 325i and althought it wasn't a convertable, it was "fun" throwing it around twisty roads. BMW's can be quirky. I know that especially when it comes to the electricals.
Not a sedan, just a coupe.

Oh well a coupe might be more fun---depends on how dead the suspension is after all those miles. The car could end up throwing *you* around. Might be worth checking out. Be nice if you could get it for less $$$ though. Them's big miles and the car has zero chance of ever appreciating in value.

Yep, I agree. It has new struts and brakes and a bunch of other stuff.
Our son lives nearby so he stopped to see it.
He said it's a "20 footer" but in excellent shape. Sid the front spoiler has been cracked and taped up. The interior is the worst part of it. Leather worn with a six inch slit in the drivers side and a lot of wear on the passenger's side.
Sounds like a 2500.00 car to me on a good day.
Oh, it needs tires too so maybe closer to 2000.00. Don't ya think?

More like $1500 the way you describe it. We aren't expecting perfection at this price so we can forgive the spoiler, but re-covering the seats and 4 new shoes, that's chunk o' change.
