Vehicle Detail
You want to buy someone’s baby? This is as close as you can get. Take one look or test drive in this car and you KNOW you are sitting in someone else’s pride and joy. There are so many signs that this car was loved; the regular detailing, the Michelin tires, the condition of the leather interior, hell even the glass was polished (not Windex’d, POLISHED) regularly! Yes, I know it’s expensive for the year and miles. But if you want a time-capsule car, one that is essentially flawless cosmetically and mechanically, this, my friends, is IT. -- Here is your next car -- Please let me stop you now if you are looking for a cheap 325is. Yes, there are tons out there from $3K to $6K. This is not one of them. It is a two-owner car (with the same owner since 1996), has books and service history, no accidents ever, no paintwork ever, and looks and drives like NEW. Not like a really nice used car, but like a NEW car. Not a scratch, ding, dent, or scuff. The interior smells, looks, and feels NEW. Driven only 5K miles per year, its one owner since 1996 loved it to death and did everything needed and then some. This 325is will kill cars with half the miles for cosmetic and mechanical condition, and feel on the road. NO 325IS YOU CAN BUY WILL BE BETTER THAN THIS ONE: IT TRULY NEEDS NOTHING. Here's the deal: -- It's a 1994 BMW 325is 5-speed manual in alpine white over dove grey leather with matching grey carpets. It has 84,xxx miles, looks like a million bucks, and drives like a million bucks too! These photos are all taken after a wash and vacuum; no detailing of any kind. – -- Exterior 9.90 out of 10 (I'm finicky) - Fantastic overall condition paint, body, glass, and trim. No dings, no dents, only a few small surface scratches, and most of those will come out in detailing. This car looks amazing, with a deep shine to the glossy ALL-ORIGINAL white paint that's like looking into a mirror. This car looks great even under fluorescent light in a garage! -- -- Clean carfax, NEVER any accidents, and wears all the original body panels, bumpers, and most importantly, all-original paint. This is a wonderful car and it shows. Even the lower side-body moldings are in great shape. Chrome, rubber, glass, trim is all very nice. No oxidation, fade, wear, rust, etc. Headlights and windshield are clear and do not have ‘road-rash’.-- -- Look at the body panels.....they are perfectly straight. -- -- The 205/60/15 Michelin tires on OEM BMW alloys have about 75% tread remaining. The wheels are true with no bends, and don’t even show any wear! The car drives straight as an arrow at any speed you choose. -- -- Interior 9.9 out of 10 - The grey leather interior overall including all seating and door leather, seat padding, dash, console, and carpets are in amazing original condition. No dash cracks, carpet rips, very little wear of any kind on the leather (driver’s bolster shows nearly zero wear). Everything looks and feels new; you can’t even tell anyone has been in the car. No smoking ever. -- -- The door panels and trim are also in great shape, like the rest of the car. -- -- Even the trunk and spare are perfect. Tools and jack are all in place, spare is original and has never been on the ground. -- -- This 325is has full leather, heated front seats, CD, sunroof, and more. Even the working BMW flashlight and a state-of-the-art 1994 cellular phone! -- -- Electrical 10 out of 10 - All lights, switches, radio, windows, wipers, seat motors/memory, and power mirrors work perfectly. The HVAC system is fast to respond, and perfect with hot heat and ice-cold A/C. -- --Mechanically 10 out of 10 - Engine starts, idles, runs, and revs to redline in every gear smooth and strong. Clutch and transmission are smooth, synchros all excellent. Heel and toe like a pro in this BMW! The car runs at high speed with no vibrations or noises. There are no leaks. -- -- Engine is strong and eager to run, transmission/clutch smooth. Brake pads and rotors are solid and pedal feel is firm. Suspension is tight like new. Steering nicely weighted with no play in the box. This 325is drives and handles like new. -- -- Check out the condition of the engine bay components on this 16 year old car! -- -- It has all the books, and dealer service history available at any BMW dealership. With only 84K miles, this car is not even broken in yet! Full inspection by BMW dealer and my mechanic already complete. This car has a new airbag sensor, new valve cover gasket, and new brakes all around. All you have to do is drive. -- -- If bidding goes over $8000, I will provide the following: a full $200 detailing including engine bay, carpet shampoo, leather conditioning, orbital polishing, etc. I'll also include BMW OEM floor mats, and ToughGuard paint protectant. This stuff is simply amazing for durability, as it will last up to five YEARS. Dealers charge up to $695 for this stuff! I’ll also change the oil and filter, air filter, and fuel filters. That’s over $900 in value all included. Wow! -- -- Nits: A few very minor touched-up scratches. THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE. And if I did not mention those, it's unlikely anyone would even notice...I just want to be up front and honest. -- -- I have good feedback, and sold many Audis, BMW’s, Acuras, and Benzes that the new owners are thrilled with. They and others have offered to act as references to verify that I am honest in my descriptions of the cars I sell, and you are welcome to contact them. -- THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CAR, AND IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE DEAL!! If you have questions, please call Bruce at 856-912-2600 or email me in advance. Winning bidder must send a $2000 deposit via wire transfer or bank/cashier’s check within 48 hours, and pay the balance within five additional days. Car and paperwork are ready to be delivered when all funds are CLEAR in my account. Clear title is in my office and ready to go. There is a $199 documentation/mailing/title transfer fee on ALL cars. Car is sold as-is, where-is, and there are no warranties expressed or implied, exclusive of what ebay may offer to the buyer. Please have any financing lined up BEFORE you bid. Please check my feedback: I do not play games, and I have sold items on ebay for more than the value of this one. No negative or hidden feedback buyers please, and I reserve the right to verify and/or cancel bids that come from users with poor/low/no feedback ratings. Sorry about all the fine print below, but it's necessary after a few non-paying bidders cost me the sale of a few cars. Good luck and happy bidding!

On Aug-19-10 at 17:52:21 PDT, seller added the following information: This are photos of the undercarriage of the car. I promise you, you will NEVER EVER see a cleaner undercarriage on a 1994 BMW anywhere. This looks nicer than most 2005 cars do underneath! This was with no cleaning, no wiping, no srpaying, no nothing. I just put it up on a lift, went underneath, and took the pictures. Unbelievable! -- Even the exhaust, clamps, and heat shields are in excellent rust-free condition. This is as good as it gets. --
