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

[patdigit]

Hey Guys! I'm new to the forum here and have been scouting around a little bit for a ZHP. I have found an red 6MT 03' with 100k miles on it for $9800. It doesn't have the original 135 M rims on it and I'm still waiting for some higher quality pictures from the owner. I had a friend of mine look up the VIN and it pulled up 4 owners and a minor accident (No rebuild title)... any thoughts?

Sounds like it could be worth buying. I'd like to see pictures of the interior and exterior. You'll obviously get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) done on it before you commit to buying it. You'll also make sure that the paint/body work was done properly on the car (where the accident occurred).

Welcome to the site. Feel free to introduce yourself in the new members section.

*Sigh* The guy stop responding to me and never ended up sending any more photos. The listing is also off of craigslist now ( was in Rhode Island ). Oh well... back to the grind...

I hope the person that bought it joins the mafia, I would have been all over this if I was you, damn.

Well it seemed sketchy that they didn't want to email me more photos other than the low quality ones they had posted on craigslist.

great thread idea. I just joined and posted my WTB but have found a few classified and I would like to know what you all think:

Primary Information about this vehicle:

AT Car ID: AT-119820CA
Price $14,000
Mileage 133,000
Body Style Sedan
Exterior Color Black
Interior Color Black
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

Notice the title is "Rebuilt". Obviously very high for a rebuilt title right?
If the price was negotiable, would you consider it?

I wouldn't pay that much for 133,000 miles even if the car did not have a rebuilt title. There are too many good deals out there without having to deal with the rebuilt title.

The east coast tends to have higher prices. That's a more reasonable price -- as compared to the rebuilt title car you were also looking at -- but I think you can do better.

My suggestion? Hang out on this forum. Monitor the classifieds section. We're always looking for good deals. We post them there. If you're patient, you'll find better deals.
