They sure as hell are not going to get out for 6k.

I sold a 2002 in muuuuuuuuuch better condition than that and I struggled to get a couple grand. 

At least the shock towers look decent

They look like they were painted (at least I thought the trunks were normally body colored) so who knows...

You are correct.

Price isn't too crazy. Being craigslist I assume he will get the " I will give you $5K" in which case doesn't seem too far off.

Floors pans are fairly easy to replace and can be fixed for under $500. http://www.restoration-design.com/store/product/BMW418R

On the other hand, seeing the gas tank in the trunk most likely means the factory one is toast as well as the other 80% of the chassis.

"ONLY 1 OF 740 IN AMERICA!! ONE OF ONLY 435 COATED IN VALENCIA ORANGE METALLIC PAINT!! "

That's a fancy way to say it's the most common color lol

reasonable deal on an fairly clean (as it was just washed) E36

Cheap but crusty Alpine E34 wagon

That's not minor rust at the back lol. Once that starts to show, the whole panel is shot since it rusts from the inside out

In talks with this guy. Would be a perfect autox car. After the manual swap that is.https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/pts/d/1996-bmw-328is/6346095623.html

You could try getting a bonded title for it if there are no liens. Can't go wrong for $300 though.

Not a bad car, not running but it looks fairly clean and rust free.

[stealthbimmer]

Weird looking TI

Even so, it would make a good beater....the set of DS1s is worth over half what he is asking for the car.

[Earl]

It looks like a pretty clean chassis for the price. I found it the other day and was tempted to message them to fix the ad but I figured they would get it sorted by now

[patsbimmer1]

What the fucking fuck.  I thought this was an illusion.

"sedan" ....I mean, it does have four door. I would think it would at least be a 550IL or ILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[jc43089]

Either it gets terrible mileage or the gas tank is actually empty lol.  Doesn't seem like a terrible price, only 607 miles on it.
