As nice of Z3 as you'll find! Here is the story... I bought this car this year for the purpose of a "wedding car" for my daughter (yes she is spoiled). I wanted this to be the car they drove away from the church in as well as a photography prop. It served us well and gave us some beautiful pictures. So here is what I went thru to get it into this condition: I began by making everything mechanically sound, anything that was broken was fixed. I had a mechanic tune it with anything it needed. When he was done $$ it was a blast to drive. Some people say the 1.9 is not enough power, but I'm very happy with it. To me it is perfectly matched with the 5 speed. It has plenty of pep and amazing fuel economy (it has only had about 4 tanks of gas run thru it). It goes down the road smooth and straight and gets looks everywhere you go. Then came the body. I started by getting a new top and new rear window. If you are looking for these cars you'll notice virtually all have bad back windows (a new one is clear, clean and safe). Then to the body shop to get all the small dents and door dings removed (27 in all). This cars looks great now. It does have a cracked front lower plastic piece that has been glued and painted but you will never notice it. The interior is amazing and with the new floor mats it all looks new. The light on the radio is dim like most are, but can be fixed if tit bothers you. I always just played CD's (6 disc in trunk) so I new what I was playing (sound great). So the wedding is over and I have a car that is in wonderful shape. I have over 10k in it and realize I will get not get my money back on it. But with a 30k wedding, I'll just add it to the bill (look out Dads w/daughters!). As always, I'm a 55 year old guy that wants everyone happy, so if you buy it and get here and don't want it--don't worry. I'll sell it to the next bidder. Doug 317 590 4011
