    For Sale: 2003 BMW 330 ZHP More Salvage

    2003 BMW 330 ZHPs For Sale
    2004 BMW 330 ZHPs For Sale

    2006 BMW 330 ZHPs For Sale
    So I ran across this Imola Red w/Salvage title and decided to call the guy to find out what happened. According to the owner, car was stolen, recovered with the wheels and backseat taken - somebody loves the Natural Brown I guess. Bought at auction by current owner who has upgraded to an e60 due to more babies on the way.

    I generally avoid salvage titles, though if the above is true and the car passes a PPI with flying colors - what's to stop me, other than that back seat.

    $7K ?

    Funny thing is there is an ad near the car for 3 wheels, 1 front, 2 rear - coincidence?

    See photo's above, it appears to have one front at auction...

    Three floorjacks and an empty road in the middle of the night?

    I assume the one wheel had a lock on it?

    Current owner already responded probably spare key - no ignition area damage and the car came with only one key.

    Talk to your insurance about insuring a salvage title, and also your bank if you're considering financing it.

    I would have no problem with a salvage title car as long as I paid some value far enough under clean market that I was confident I wouldn't get rooted when I passed it on. 7k is starting to sound about right.

    .....that is provided she racks up straight/within factory spec and drives properly. If this story is accurate then this shouldn't be a concern.

    also, exactly what norcalZman said - these cars aren't easy to walk off with.

    So I called the guy selling the wheels - google voice account - heavy russian accent and couldn't tell me if he had 1 or 3 wheels left. sort of wierd.

    Called the current owner right after - voices definitely different and not imitated. He's a nice guy trying to sell his car, though nice doesn't mean diddly.

    Anyway, I guess it's all about getting it looked at...and the insurance. I wouldn't finance 7K.

    If nothing else this is interesting.

    Love this place!

    So pulled the carfax on the car - it's had 2 other accidents and was a salvage three or more years before it was stolen. Too many skeletons, not worth my time anymore. Moving on...

    Yeah, I'd definitely go through it with a fine tooth comb if I was looking to buy it. I mean, you'd be wise to plan on never selling it. Third owner after a salvage title is no bueno. Maybe you could get it for $5500 or so and make it into a hard top convertible? Or do something equally entertaining that only you would enjoy (and be our guinea pig for new ideas).
