Would be a beautiful car if it wasnt for the rust [emoji20]
https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/d/1999-bmw-328is-tech-dinan/6524137823.htmlI was going to buy this a few months ago for 2500. Someone bought it a few weeks ago for 3500 and is trying to flip it. The rust was fine for me only thing that kept me from buying it was the dent in the passenger door. The car isn't Boston green like it looks. Its actually Ferngreen.

I agree. But do you really think its worth what he is asking?
Nope, not in the condition it is in. Its a 5k car without the body rust/damage

I ended up buying that 335i that "needed a headgasket", for $2400.

Wait whaaat? You dig into it at all yet?

Yeah, a little bit. The motor and headgasket are fine (knock on wood). So far it needs an alternator, and potentially a water pump.

What about other horrible revelations such as:
-Texas Flood Car
-Florida Flood Car
-Vape parts found in-between the seats
-///M valve stem caps

-ALSO Including but not limited to "LEMON LAW CAR"

Thankfully, none of those things. It's been in Illinois since 2010 with documentation. The car was sold to CarMax, then bought at auction by the guy who I picked it up from. He took a gamble and soon found out that he was in over his head.
Like Jason said, it is a manufacturer buyback car (lemon law). I knew this before driving down there and it doesn't bother me. My friend who works at BMW looked up the VIN this morning and determined it was bought back for HPFP issues, which are very common in the early years of these cars. Cool that it's nothing serious. HPFP are well documented.
A different friend of mine had a 2007 335i with a buyback title that he was still able to sell for $7k last year. It had way more miles, smoking turbos, and no packages. The one I just bought is nice, just needs a little work. The title isn't even stamped with any buyback crap. It's bone stock, and completely unmodified. Dealer records, original owners manuals, paperwork, etc. I got a steal @ $2,400.

What’re your plans for it? Just gonna flip it, or hold onto it for awhile?

Probably flip it before I get too attached to it. I've been wanting another sedan. Only thing that bothers me is no heated seats... first world problems.
Otherwise it's lower mileage than my daily 335i and has paddle shifters.

No heated seats?!! Sell it immediately. And deals off, I no longer want it. LOL

Look what just resurfaced after BaT:
https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=420950
Looks like the BaT buyer was in over his head and couldn't muster $26k cash for this car (shhhhhocker).
I really wanted to buy this car. It still just seems like way too much money for what it actually is, despite being really clean.

he's goading me to make him an offer. I don't think he realizes how lowball it would be because to me that thing isn't worth more than 15k

Thats a really beautiful car, but like you said, IDK about that price though.
