Bimmergirrl needs a car FAST!

[Philip]

We sold Melanie's 318 a few days ago to get her something that would be better on the highway. I have spent the last few days driving all over Ga looking at sh*t-box after over priced sh*t-box.
I know you guys are pretty good at finding cars for sale, so if anyone knows of a decent car in the $2500 range please post a link. We need to get her a car by tomorrow.

The main things she's looking for are:

BMW e30 (duh)
BMW e36 318ti/318is
VW Golf/GTI III
VW Jetta III

Preferably manual tranny, but not 100% necessary. Needs to be able to be driven to Ellijay as is.

Thanks.
-Philip

Haha, I meant it as more of a veiled compliment. And I glad that you have enough free time on the weekends to look for cars for other people. And what were you looking for on CL while you were unemployed, jobs I hope.

God I love Google.

Stick would get better mileage and everyone knows you can do better than statistic gas mileasge.

[BMRSEB]

I love 5's but dont they chug gas?
Yeah.. If I drive conservatively I get 20-22mpg City/Hwy. Strictly hwy about 26mpg. So yeah, not the most fuel-efficient.. but hey it's all about the drive, no? :1eye: :wave:

My e28 is mid 20s on the highway right now and the e34 is newer :)

[e30bmw]

Needs clears, LTW's, and a drop. Sorry, I had to do it. Car looks nice, fix the hood and you are good to go.

[bimmergirrl]

lol. yeah its not horrible. I love the way it drives though. So smooth down the highway. :)

[BMRSEB]

Well, I found it!!

Old VGA-quality pic of my '97 Jetta GT.. It's a crappy pic taken 11/12/1997 when I lived in NYC!! lol! 5 speed, Sport cloth seats, w/height adjustment, power windows/locks/sunroof and MANUAL windows (which sucked when you have to roll up non-driver's sides)! :blink:

Seb, what's the diff between a Jetta GL and GT?

[hunterd557]

Yah, well, Black don't crack!! :wave:

http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dhalsim.jpg

[dinanm3atl]

Yah my car on that site says 20mpg on the highway. I easily get 25 and have gotten even higher :)

[BMRSEB]

Seb, what's the diff between a Jetta GL and GT?
If I remember correctly the GT was basically a sport(ier) GL; Sport seats, upgraded wheels, roof antenna, rear deck spoiler, foglights, power sunroof, tinted rear taillights. Engine was the same, the 2.0L 4.

I think the next step up was a GLS, which was an upgraded GL, power everything and optional leather(?). The GLX was a GT with power everything and the VR6 engine.

[Marshall]

Stop it with the "I was only 13..." I was 40! I don't need the constant reminders of how old I am. When I speak of my first car, I should just say that I am speaking of not just my first, but the first car! It was black.

[hunterd557]

LMAO! So basically what you're saying is . . .your first car had square wheels?

Or it had cylindrical rock up front and in the back . . .LMAO! No motor, you just used your feet on the way to the HollyRock Museum in order to get some bronto-ribs and a rock slider shake! YAY!

Wow. Looks like mine! lol.. Im gonna tint my taillights like the VR6's. Looks cool and somewhat stock.
Wow dude . . .you're old, 97? LOL! I was . . .13

I know a guy that can paint that for you really inexpensively. However, he's in Lithia Springs, not sure if you wanted to make the drive.. :)

He painted my '87 325is a few years back.. This wasn't even the top of the line one, just a basecoat/clearcoat.

Trade the Jetta in on your old 318i.

[hunterd557]

http://www.hiarchive.co.uk/vital/al.jpg

I DON'T THINK SO, TIM!

-Dave

[bimmergirrl]

Trade the Jetta in on your old 318i.

I was thinking that...

He took it to a mechanic and the guy basically told him he needed quite a bit done to make it decently reliable..
He said All the engine gaskets [basically] needed replacing. Also the front seal and rear in the oil pan needed replacing. And a tie rod.

Im not sure. The jetta will sell cheap for 3k. But its very reliable and dosnt have any problems. Im stuck. I want my old car back badly but I dont want to have problems. I did find this. What do yall think?

[dinanm3atl]

Wow hearing that you got 2800 out of your 318i and then hearing the work it needs after seeing a mechanic.

You made out like a bandit.

[jone3036]

That motor can be pulled, resealed, and replaced in one afternoon. Gee, Taking a 25 year old BMW to a GDI repair shop during this economic time? No wonder the kid is so quick to ditch it. He prolly has a hard time sitting after that diag.

Lemme guess. The mechanic offered him a couple hundred to walk away from it. Helluva way to get a good car cheap.......Snakes.

That 90 318is looks pretty hammered.

[hunterd557]

I sense bitterness in the last few of your posts my friend, LOL!

[Euro320iRacer]

ive seen that e30 before. what is he asking?

[Philip]

ive seen that e30 before. What is he asking?

$4500

[jone3036]

$4500



That car looks so clapped out! $1,500 car at best! -Or- I am an idiot and should have sold my white 325i for oh, I don't know....$10,500...Maybe?
Jesus. What a moron.

[e30bmw]

$4500

Is that after he fixed the two giant dents in the hood and gets a new roundel?

And what is up with that antenna? Is that stock for 318's?

[hunterd557]

But wait . . ."a car is worth what a person is willing to pay..."

Yes, I'm being a sarcastic jerk . . .

[Euro320iRacer]

when the guy was selling it he asked for $1500. It had no sunroof too. I should of grabbed it. :no:

[nakedandvulnerable]

word maybe i should sell my 91 318is shell for 2200 rofl


everyone trying to make a fortune off cars that are worth nothing


e30s arent 8000 cars they have a following yes but they
arent that reliable unless you dump 200$ a month in them
have no warranty
smell funny
look funny
eat tires
guzzle gas

My bad, I meant $2500.
Which is about what we have in the Jetta, and if my calculations are correct e30 > Jetta, so for the same money it's a no brainer.

Sure it can. But most can't do it and do you know what it cost in labor hours at 100 bucks an hour?

Derr.

I don't get it. 2800 you made out like a bandit. I would have paid 1200-1500 since I was told first hand the problems it had. I mean cool she sold it for that. Buyer must have been willing to pay it.

2500 is kind of reasonable. I would still say in the 1000-2000 range.

[bimmergirrl]

Hopefully we'll check it out.
I def negotiating on the price. lol
