I can get parts pretty cheap via the internet, or the NorthWest BMW Club, so that isn't an issue.

The mileage may be a bit high, but if it's taken care of well, it can last a long time.

Yeah, German taxis... my Camry had nearly 200,000 miles on the clock, and was still doing good... Toyota huh. Dunno about the BMW though, but I still think you should wait and try to find better deals before jumping on it, while $2,700 is relatively cheap it's not if you 'throw it by the window'... as in the car works for a week then

BOOM

NO BMW

I'm thinking $2500 would be more reasonable, especially since the owner seems desperate for some money.

i think for most european cars, especially a 'prestige' brand, your budget is simply too low. it might just end up costing you so much more

I can't settle for less than a European brand.
I don't want Japanese or American trash.

it's going to cost you..a lot.
you need to spend more now in order to spend less next month

Wise words from a wise man... wait. Wise man? No.

Yes, I know.

[The_Canuck]

The solution?


But really, it's only a first car, im sure a nice reliable Japanese car can suffice? no?

I actually found an Alfa local, but it was rubbish.

If you buy it for 2,700, you gotta treat that money as throwaway essentially.

Can you afford to throwaway 2,700 dollars?

Can you afford all the other crap?

Do you need a car right away?

I want a car too, but I'm gonna wait a few years to buy one I like and so I can afford it.

I can't wait a few years. And where I live, if you don't have a car, you're pretty much ****ed for things to do.

If everything checks out, I'll offer $2500 and see if the seller takes it.
And yes, I can afford maintenance stuff

You can drive your parents car or bum a buddies ride.
