E46 BMW 330 ZHP Buyers Corner -- Is it a good deal?

[az3579]

Is it me or do most Imolas have the alcantara int?

Good point. I've never seen an Imola sedan with anything other than alcantara interior.
Same as never having seen an automatic one, either. (Thankfully)

Come to think of it, I've never seen an Imola sedan not have Xenons, either, or the CWP.

My Imola sedan has gray leather. It's the only part of the car that I'm not too crazy about.

Gah, now you remind me. I know someone who has grey leather in his as well.

Erik, the car looks nice. Looks clean. That car is in the Bay Area, which tends to be more expensive than SoCal. For my money, I would be offering high $13Ks to low $14Ks. The mileage is creeping up there. Almost 90K miles. In the next 10,000 miles you're going to have some maintenance costs. You might also want to knock down the price a little if you're going to replace those CSLs with factory style 135 wheels.

From what I can see, though, it looks nice. I'd be looking to offer lower than the offer price, though.

I need to come up with an extra bit of money to my budget so I could jump on this or other ZHPs with nice/decent mileage. Once I get all the Si parts sold I might be able to look at 15-16k cars.

Let me tell you what I learned, Nomar, when I was searching for cars this past summer. You could find deals in remote locations. Louisville? Dude, you could easily knock that $15K price tag down. That's just a starting place. You're in the drivers seat. You're not desperate for a car. Make an offer that you can live with. If the seller balks, move on.

For the record, I found that the midwest had the softest prices.

[Nomar06]

Yeah, I don't think I have ever bought a car for the sellers asking price. I'm just hesitant on out of state sales cause I have never done one but there is always a first for everything, lol.

That one is just like mine. I bet you could get that down to 13.7 or so.
