For your Bidding considerate is this used, 2004 BMW 325i 4 Door Sedan. I have not listed an automobile previously on Ebay before so please read my listing carefully and ask questions as I want to ensure total accuracy. We acquired the car from Fields BMW in Orlando Florida in 2007. The previous Owner had a personal lease on the car. We have kept up with normal and routine maintenance during the time we have owned it. Cosmetically, it is very clean both inside and out with normal use and age related scratching to paint on exterior. The leather interior is clean and free of any rips or tears. It currently has 103,719 miles on it. We are selling the car now as it most likely requires a new engine and we prefer not to deal with replacing it. I have the Carfax report should you like to see it. The engine issue is related to the car recently overheating. The expansion tank cracked and the engine shut off while my wife was driving it to work. We had it towed to Fields BMW in Winter Park, Florida where we bought the car. They replaced the expansion tank, water hose, Thermostat and coolant (for a total cost of $685.17). After having done these repairs they then diagnosed, and I quote directly from the BMW Dealer Invoice, that the "Vehicle has been severely overheated. Coolant is sludged up in the engine and cooling system there is coolant block. Only after replacing most parts in the coolant system including but not limited to water pump, oil, thermostat. There will still most likely be engine failure. There is a restriction in the system and the vehicle runs very rough". You are most welcome to see an emailed copy of this invoice should you like. I am providing full disclosure so you know exactly what you are bidding on. BMW did quote a new engine price to me which was off the charts in my opinion. I am hopeful some of you out there can put a nice used engine in this (or possibly get it working without a different engine ?) at a much more reasonable cost. I am not exactly sure what the car is worth in this condition so am offering it here in auction style to let those of you interested decide. The car does start and run, though smoke does come from the tail pipe so I have not run it for long, just to move it to my driveway from where the Tow Truck left it. You will most likely want to tow it from my property. The battery was replaced about a year ago as I recall, the tires are all with good tread, the spare in the trunk is a regular size tire and not used. Also comes with the original Car Jack. I accept Paypal or Cash on pick up. You will need to make any transport or pick up arrangements. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have.
