Is it a red flag if a car's been on Craigslist for three

I'm sure everybody that went to look at it (really, how many people are looking for 1981 BMWs) came to the same conclusion as you. If it's been sitting, then he'll be more inclined to negotiate.

Thanks for the input Anon. I was thinking that I could get it detailed, throw seat covers on it, and call it a day. The cost of re-upholstery would be ludicrous, which turned me off.

just keep an eye out for a set of good condition seats

Thanks Anons. And for anyone who knows BMW, is the price suspiciously low, or is it about right?

Dude.

1981
1500$

Don't matter what it was, it is what it is.
It ain't the steal of a century, hopefully its not financial ruin.

Its a 35 year old shitbox. Buy it.
In two years you'll know how to work on it and drive something different.

are you poor?
don't buy it if you're poor, wait for something beat up but a bit more modern
if you're not poor and just looking for something to hoon around it in.. why the fuck not? it's only $1500

My budget's pretty low, so ideally I don't want to spend any more than, say, another $1000 to fix it up to make it DD-worthy.

don't buy it.. but a $2500 car from the last 15-20 years tops.. a toyota or something

unless you're mechanically inclined and/or don't care about tons of down time, you're going to have a bad time

buy that fucking pulsar in chicago dude
