Anyone interested in a super clean 1989 320I with only 22,000 km on it? sorry auto, from Japan, documented km's, my buyer says its like new!

s_a_c · 12-10-2008, 08:38 PM

Nice car, im wondering though how much are you asking for it? Does it have a sunroof?

jkcma · 12-10-2008, 10:50 PM

Price? Is the car completey stock? Any options? I am somewhat interested. I would have to see the car in person and also a test drive is a must for me.

1989E34M5 · 12-11-2008, 12:05 AM

I dont think it has a sunroof, it looks like kind of a bare bones 320I, but very low km with 9 pages of maintenance records, and very clean. probably will be around $8 grand landed.

s_a_c · 12-11-2008, 12:15 AM

Well sunroof is no big deal, the car looks like it's in really good condition

1989E34M5 · 12-11-2008, 12:30 AM

My buyer is very good, he has found me lots of very nice units, when he says its good, its good, also looks like the car has been garaged its whole life, maintenance docs from 90,92,94,96,98,2000,02,04,06. a couple more pics

You might get interest closer to 6

1989E34M5 · 12-11-2008, 01:37 AM

Im selling it, not giving it away, big difference. What else can you buy for $8 grand? that has 22,000 km on it?

When you have a car that is unique, you're not looking for the majority's estimate of what it's worth, but rather just that one or two people who really want something different that doesn't come along every day.
Good luck with the sale!

I'd buy that car in a heartbeat......trouble is, it would be the last time my heart would beat, my wife would KILL ME!!!!!

I'd put money on it that everything that is rubber is dried, cracked and in need of replacement. Everything is likely original and time can have the same effect as kms after a point. However, the interior is amazing. GL

DS Rook · 12-13-2008, 05:17 PM

^^^^^Exactly. I have yet to see a 20yr old low mileage j-spec e30 that was even in remotely as good condition as it looked. All the rubber in those cars need replacement.

nuts4bmw · 12-13-2008, 05:24 PM

Well, in some cases maybe. I bought a j-spec 320i with only 70,000 on it 3 years ago, and I have had NO issues whatsoever with anything....so, take it from here and draw your own conclusions.

That car is anything but unique. It's a 4dr auto. Toast is more exciting.

That car is not selling fun or excitement, it's selling km, and that's the only thing a potential buyer would be buying. Still, being exceptionally clean it should generate some interest.

nuts4bmw · 12-13-2008, 06:45 PM

Dale, you're right on all counts. A four door 320i automatic is basic transportation, and in this case like you said, low mileage transportation, and there is nothing wrong with that. I'd still buy this car in a heartbeat rather than a run-of-the-mill ford, GM, Chrysler,toyota, or whatever, but that's just me.
