Didn't see one in catalog, so let's post neat finds, I KNOW WHAT I GOTS, and ask for advice.

>1995 BMW 525i
>$3500
>147k miles
What do you think, /o/? Reasonable price or too high/low? What problems might an older 5 series have?
>22 years old
>BMW
>150k miles
Too high senpai. That's like a $2k car in good condition.
>so damn cheap
>having a hard time selling it
>doesn't post very much information about car

Negotiate that price, yo.
This worth it for 8000?
Hood and interior is pretty fucked

He's not saying he's having a hard time selling it, he saying he's having a hard time giving it up.
Although that could mean no one wants to buy it.
Even if it has issues though, that's an amazing price for a running meme-mobile. I would totally buy that and restore it if necessary.
Looking to replace my 2011 Civic LX.
Just want something fun.

I think you get the idea of the stuff I'm looking at.
>>17530084
The Acura legend looks pretty cool IMO.
>>17529990
WHY THE FUCK do these owners not clean the interior when taking pics in an attempt to sell it? Irritates the shit out if me. I'd never buy a car with dirty interior pics. Says a lot about the scumbag owner's attitude toward their car
>>17530084
I'm very partial to the SC400. My buddy had one back in the day and it was such a nice ride. Smooth as fuck.
However I have to agree with >>17530103, that Legend is in really beautiful condition. Toughy
>>17527682
It's no 3k Civic but I'd say this thing is awesome for the price
https://capecod.craigslist.org/cto/6218258979.html

And now for something completely different... would be great to turn one of these into a bugout/apocalypse mobile

Don't think I'd be a retard to sell what I have and use these as DDs?
https://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/6184836582.html
>>17530453
Asking price wayyyyy too high for a non turbo with that many miles imo, doesn't matter how "mint" it is. If it was a turbo I'd agree
>>17530373
No I don't think you'd be too poor off. The Legend will probably get better mpg than the SC. Get insurance quotes for both cars. If your current car has 4 doors, realize you'll look cooler but be more limited when it comes to stuff that used to be easy, ie moving stuff. Also check if either car requires premium fuel, because that shit sucks- my car needs it and it's much more expensive. If the stock compression ratio is 10:1 or higher, chances are you'll need premium.
Best of luck sucka
>>17530525
One down side of the Legend is it almost has 200k miles
>>17528385
SR5 is not an AE86. Stupid spics.
>>17530536
https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/6211416491.html could also pretend I'm ludacris.
>>17530536
Agreed, that is high, but Jap cars are pretty good about high miles so long as you keep it up and take care of it. Besides, 193k on a 26 year old car means 7,424 miles per year, way less than the average 12,000
>>17530084
Huh, looked up the VIN and it said that edmund's gave it a price range of 1700-2k...

Fuck no. Although it was a turbo then $11,500 is in the right ballpark.

ive looked at this car and its owned by some white chick you dumb fuck. Noone wants to buy it because its over priced, there's a dent in the driver side and the passenger lower rockers have rust and the engine bay is filthy as fuck.
>>17540389
>>17540341
I know auto tragic :^( but the standards seem to cost more and have more wear from people abusing them
>>17540592
go get a quote from a mechanic to see what dropping a manual in it would cost and deduct that from the asking price of the car.

I would say check it out if it's in your heart, and make sure to do your research beforehand If you really like it, and it doesn't look/sound/drive like it will cause more trouble than it's worth, then go for it.

It's a bummer to see really nice shells with no engines, so I'm curious about it. I know absolutely nothing about engines, from which to buy to the installation process. Assuming everything but the engine functions, what might it generally cost to pop a new one in? (If a generic figure is even possible.)

how do you answer a craigslist ad for something that's a) fairly priced and b) you want to buy? like, how much power-level should you show?

How does the 2.8 v6 compare to the 4.3 v6?
>>17547100
depends on whether you plan to keep the engine.
If you want to keep the engine, the 2.8 is better. If you want to swap, the 4.3 is a better starting point.
The 2.8L was designed from the start as a V6, and you can make significant power upgrades just from using the heads, and intake manifolds from newer FWD 3100/3400 engined cars.
These guys are very familiar with the top swap.
https://wot-tech.com/index.php
http://milzymotorsports.com/
If you plan to swap, the 4.3 is better. Why? Because the 4.3 was never designed as a V6. It's literally a 350 Chevy V8 with 2 cylinders chopped off. Swap out the 4.3, swap in a 350, bolts right in.
>>17546694
someone?
>>17547176
automatic sports cars are never worth as much as the manual versions.
>>17547180
but that low for that condition?
>>17547204
The transmission is a BIG concern for sports car buyers. If it doesn't have a stick, it's not for those with a dick.
>>17547216
i did forget about over compensation factor
>>17547254
On the upside. You can buy an automatic car, swap in a manual, and sell it at a profit. Wheeler Dealers did it with a Datsun 240Z
>>17546694
It looks fine, just check the chassis for rust and stuff--do your research, and make sure to hear engine/test drive. And if you think it's worth it, take it to a mechanic for check-up.
>>17547180
>>17547216
This guy is just hard for manuals. If you really want to get this car, and think that you will enjoy it, then go for it. Trust me when I say that you will enjoy driving a car if you really appreciate it for what it is--automatic or not.
>>17547299
thanks anon.
Don't know how to drive manual, but arent older manuals supposed to be a lot better than their autos?
>>17547309
Sure, because the technology/engineering is still better geared towards manuals, but the eighties was when automatics were becoming more of a thing, so as long as you regularly maintenance your car/don't abuse your car, it should be fine. And if you really want, you could swap it out for a manual in the future. nbd
>>17547347
Thanks anon, I'll keep that in mind.
>>17547309
They're more reliable, faster, more fuel efficient, and cheaper to repair when they do break, but that's manuals in general, not just old ones. Still holds true today.On older cars, manuals will ALWAYS pull a premium over automatics unless it's a luxury landbarge.
>>17547347
>>17547309
To add, I have an 86 Pontiac firebird that shifts smoothly for an automatic. This may be anecdotal, but honestly, I really enjoy it because it's like a blast from the past, so I couldn't care less.
>>17547353
This anon isn't wrong entirely, but if you drive conservatively, then gas/speed shouldn't be a problem. Either can be fun, depending on your driving style/perspective on the whole automatic VS manual thing.
Again, it's all you.
