not a good deal even at 5K

This guy is on Tennspeed. From what I get this car has sat for a long time beside a shop and he managed to convince them to sell it to him. Funny thing was there was a line of folks that were "gonna" buy it but no one went through. Personally its a $3500 car.

I saw it and thought it could be a good deal if he was willing to come down a bit.

Perfect candidate for an LS swap

Nothing? Really? OK, I'll be serious


I'd have to say it's a $4k car. Paint is horrible, interior is meh, engine clearly puked, definitely not a perfect candidate for a V8 though. Honestly, assuming nothing else is horribly wrong with it, the right person could put $1k and a weekend into it and have a running FD.

[djmtsu]

And that is why its a good deal. The only other decent FD's around here for sale are over $10K, and both are automatics.

So, I will restate it, its a good deal. And if my BMW was sold, I would buy it for the wife.

Of course, the red has to go.

You've been trying to sell that BMW for a while...... 20B swap?

[djmtsu]

Lol! The Z3 is a beast.

I had to take it off market for a while to straighten out the ABS and Air Bag lights on the dash. They came on when the battery was changed, for no reason. Typical BMW.

Don't tell me that shit, I'm keeping a watchfull eye out for an E46

Which E46 Brian?

I thought about this car... but wife will kill me..

[85rx-7gsl-se]

I wonder how much he paid for it.

[djmtsu]

Well, when I first inquired about it, he said he had it sold for $6k. Although if I had gotten to him first, it he would take $5K. Now he has it for $5800 firm.

My only worry is that he has been messing with it, and the blown rotor/housing/irons are destroyed. Who knows.

With a car like that, personally I would assume it needs a whole new engine and buy accordingly. Add $3k to the total price to assume a running car. So $9,000 for a freshly rebuilt FD, with 72k on the clock, moderate interior, and terrible paint. Not a bad deal, but not good. However, if it turns out it's a $1k rebuild, makes things a lot better but I'd have a hard time assuming that.

See that is my point. I know on Tennspeed two or three people showed extreme interest but then fell off which makes me think this car isnt such a cream puff lol.

Meh. Its only a good deal if he sells it for 4-5k... which he isn't.

1K (in just the engine) might get it running.. running being the key word... Its still in shitty shape and needs more $$ to be a nice car.

This one

Dark Silver Titanium whatever they call that color, black interior, 6-spd.

I'm at an advantage and I say $1k because I've got all the hard parts I could need, (except irons) in the basement, so seal kit, all new side/corner/apex/oil control blah blah and I'd be good to go.... STRAIGHT TO THE SANDING!

Alot, paint really needs to be dealt with.
