lulz were had. Not from other users but from you OP. You expect a german car with that many miles to last you 2-3 years. I'm willing to bet the repairs will probably be at least half of what you paid for it when the third year comes by. You point out the leather and sun-roof and moon-roof. Valid points for wanting a luxury car, but you want leather on a car this old? What's the point of the leather when its probably cracked and %#%#. But if by some miracle the leather is in perfect condition, then just cop your german ride. I don't even know why you made this thread if you aren't open for other suggestions.

Don't look at the price look at the maintenance. Copping a 14yr old BMW with 177K mileage = automatic 3-4g's you'll be paying each year in maintenance.

thanks.
we'll see what this PPI is looking like...if the major known issues for the car have been addressed i shall go in...especially for 3k
in my area, the asian !%%% is OD expensive...
02 honda civic, 3,900, miles? 246k
that's laughable.
i don't even plan on driving whatever i buy more than 50k...let alone upwards of 250k

I'm looking for cars in the price range as well. Although for me its important that its small and consumes as little fuel as pssible. Thats why my pick yould be a civic.

what's important for me is non-cloth interior, a moonroof to smoke dro out of, and something that im excited to drop 3k on...you will spend less in gas and repairs than i will....but, honestly, that money is worth it to me...(i mean, im not about to cop the car if it needs ALOT of !@*% done to it...im comfortable putitng maybe another 1500 in the car once i pay off the small loan...)
like i said, with a 3,500 dollar budget; im looking at dodge stratus', hondas with 260k on the clock, impalas with body damage, and late 90s BMWs
i've done the "research" myself since making this post, and honestly, 3k on this car (granted the inspection comes back clean) isn't as ridiculous as yall make it sound...
even if the car is in "good shape" its blue booked at 4100....im paying 3k if its spotless....less if the inspection racks up repairs....
granted im not throwing 23 stacks down on a 02 M5 with 29k miles....but damn, NT, ya'll make it seem like i'm copping a plastic wheel barrel.....
