Hey guys, Its that time in my life right now where i have some complications and financial issues at the moment, which puts me in a position all of us hate to do, and It pains me to do this, I had big plans for this car....I have chosen to put Cindy up for sale.:( I will be moving to Nebraska, However will not be totally away from the bmw scene, I do plan to buy another in the near future ;)
I will also put this In the For sale thread. I will tell you everything about the car, And all of the work that has been done to it. Also I will post pictures for all of you Whom may be interested.
It is a 1997 IL, Black Interior, Aspensilber Metallic.
( Build date 02/20/97)
Last of VIN: VDM07522
Mileage 270k
This car comes rust free, I am Third owner, Clean title, A/C and Heat Both Work. The car runs like a dream, and shifts beautifully, all is sound. Exterior Is in Pretty great shape, I would give it a 8.5/10. Minus a few digs here and there, nothing majorly cosmetic is wrong with it. With that being said, The Interior is also in pretty great shape as well, I would put it at an 8./10.
Some Minor things need replaced I will do my best to list everything for you all... . It has High Mileage, But also comes with a stack of maintenance history and repairs. ( This is a good thing :stickoutt ).. Also Drives like it has 150k on it!
New Drive belts @ 260k
New spark plugs @ 230k
Brake flush
All new tires, rotors, pads and wear sensors.. Front are Aftermarket Posi quiets, Never had any issue with them, And it stops on a dime. The rears are OEM.
Windows professionally tinted
New Crankshaft Positioning Sensor & Fuel Filler Hose.@ 268k
Rear Dif Serviced With Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 75W90 @ 264k
New Blower Motor Unit Purchased from dealer.
Transmission Service: Valvoline Maxlife DEX/MERC ATF.
Drivers Door Hinge replaced
Door Lock Actuator replaced.
All engine seals replaced, front, rear, lower oil pan gasket, and rear output drive shaft seal.
Power steering has been flushed Mobil 1 Full Syn ATF - Two hoses need replaced, I have them both, and the resovoir.
Replaced Lower and Upper control arms.
Previous owner replacements
New MAF @200k
Valley Pan gaskets, and valve cover gaskets replaced ( all engine gaskets)
@ 195k
Water pump And Radiator replaced @ 240k
Fuel pump, Fuel level sending unit, and fuel filter replaced @ 175k
Things it may need
front struts and mounts
Cluster repair ( it has the infamous pixel issue) However MID console is 100% working can repair for 180.00 bucks.
Passenger side seat mat sensor
Glovebox latch ( you can get one for 50 bucks at a junkyard )
That is pretty much where she is at right now.
I may have forgotten a few things, If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask. With the amount of money I have in this, I believe a fair price is 4,000. However, please do not low ball me. I have taken very well care of this car and it shows.
Now onto pictures...
