    Buying advice

    Hello wonderful people!

    I am looking to buy this BMW 3 Series 325i but I need your opinion regarding the purchase. The car looks like it has been very well taken care after but please not it has an automatic transmission and 115k miles. Is the price justified regarding the above? I know these cars were build to last and a manual can get you as far as 300k miles, but is it worh investing in an automatic?

    Is it worth that price? Probably priced a bit high, who sells a car at a dealership for a fair price? That said, you'd know the local car prices better than anyone in the USA where most of the forum users are. Does it look like a clean, nice to drive example? Yeah, it looks great.
    If your e30 runs bad, switch to Megasquirt first. Then try new spark plugs, cap and rotor, wires, oxygen sensor, crank shaft position sensor, coolant temp sensor, air flow meter, idle control valve, throttle position sensor, digital motor electronics unit, harmonic balancer, fuel injectors, engine harness...

    I don't think an automatic is a problem. Lots of convertibles seem to have autos. My automatic has 200,000 miles. Would think last a long time as long as you drive them reasonably.

    My 88 vert is an auto and has around 400k. 160 on all cylinders, still! If its look after, it'll last forvever.
