RELISTED DUE TO A NON-PAYING BIDDER.Up for auction is a 1987 BMW 325 4-door sedan. This was my daily driver from last September through April of this year. It was very dependable during that time, but it has just been sitting in my driveway since then (other than an occasional trip to keep it charged up and keep things loosened up), and at this point I have another car to use this fall and winter, so it is time to sell it. I originally purchased this car in 2010, did some work to it, and then sold it to a coworker for his daughter’s first car in 2011. Then last September, he contacted me to say that they got her a newer car, and I got it back from him. The car has a 6-cylinder fuel injected engine with an automatic transmission. It is equipped with power windows, power locks, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, manual sunroof, and an aftermarket CD player. It has vinyl seats which are in good condition. Overall the car is decent, but it is 27 years old and is far from perfect. Good Points: Low mileage for the yearPA inspected through December 2014Mechanically complete and was dependable throughout the 8 months I last used it (never let me down, even on the coldest days of the winter)Timing belt replaced less than 5k miles ago in 2011Clean interiorNew tailpipe, muffler, and tip last fallA/C system complete and was operational last fall (I think it needs a recharge now)Pioneer in-dash CD playerNew Roundel hood, trunk, and wheel emblems in 2011Underside is solid overall and looks better than a lot of cars that are even newerRear battery compartment is still very solid (typical area prone to decay on e30 BMWs) Still looks decent from 30 feet awayAll body panels are original with the matching ID tags Not So Good Points: Engine oil leak…drips in drivewayOdometer stopped working last year (I estimate that I put another 1000 miles on it since it broke) Dents, dings, and minor rust spots around the carBottoms of front fenders are decayed and the bottom of the passenger side inner fender where it meets the floorpan is decayedBroken lens in RF fog light (stone broke it this winter)Several spots of repaint or touchup paintFuel gauge works but span is off: tank is empty when needle is on ½ tankRF tire has sidewall wear and a gouge spot (been that way since I got it and has not presented any issues for me)Driver’s rear door lock does not actuate with the central locks from the front doorRear power windows not working (worked in 2011 when I last had it, but I have not looked into it…likely the switches need cleaned)Intermittent OBC display lights for rear lights and coolant…have not correlated to any identifiable issuesDash pad cracked…very common e30 issue At this point, the car could be used as a cheap commuter or second car, it could be restored to be a better classic car, or it could be parted out (some guys are looking for the engine from an automatic transmission car to install in a manual transmission car since the engines in automatic transmission cars are not taxed as hard as most manuals). I am selling the car as-is where-is without any stated or implied warranty. Although I have described and called out good points and bad points, I may have missed something or not addressed something specific you need or want to know, so please ask any questions ahead of bidding. A $250 deposit via Paypal is due within 48 hours and the remaining payment is due via Paypal or via cash in person within 14 days. I can hold the car for up to 30 days as long as full payment is received within 2 weeks of auction close. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
