I am moving, so need to sell my daily driver ASAP. You will need to pick it up by Thursday. So I've priced this aggressively and set it to a 3 day auction. I use this car every day to commute ~15 miles to school, and it is still running well. I bought it on ebay 4 years ago, and it has served me well, with few issues. It's a good beater for getting around town - fun to drive, and has been very reliable. I've performed regular maintenance, oil changes, etc. and have all of the receipts, as well as a few from the previous owner. Pros:-Drives great, bulletproof engine. Use this as my daily driver to commute.-A/C and heat work well, A/C was revamped by previous owner and blows cold. I replaced blower motor this winter, so heat is strong.-Sunroof works-Leather, heated seats (nice in winter)-New bluetooth radio, syncs with cell phones, tablets, etc.-Tires replaced 1.5 years ago, probably 80+% tread left on them.-New starter (replaced 2 years ago), new filters-Gets pretty good gas mileage (better than rated)-There are still a lot of these (E34 models) on the road, so finding parts is not difficult/expensive when things pop up.-Always starts right up in winter (even in subzero temps), never had any trouble with overheating-No known leaksCons:-Windows do not work (all electric motors died or dying. Didn't think it was worth fixing, I just used the sunroof or A/C)-Windshield wiper linkage stopped working a few weeks ago. I bought the part for the fix (wiper linkage/transmission/motor) and will include it with the car. My mechanic quoted me at 1-2 hours for the job, but didn't think it was worth doing since I had to sell it anyway.-Significant (cosmetic) rusting under door panels, on undercarriage. Typical for non-garaged Midwestern car of this age. I use rust-protecting spray paint to keep it looking nice when necessary (so it's hard to see in the pictures). While it's not a structural issue, you should not expect a shiny new car.-Parking brake cable has been removed. I park in gear, so didn't think this was worth fixing. Not expensive if you want to do so.-Right side of bumper sticks out 3-4 inches. Still in good structural condition-Brake linings light is on, and has been since I replaced the pads/rotors 3-4 years ago. Brakes starting to feel shaky when applying serious pressure. Probably due for a change, but I haven't had them checked.-Radio turns off/back on randomly. I installed it myself and may not have done the best job of connecting the wires (didn't use solder, just twisted them). Still works 95% of the time, so not a big enough issue to warrant fixing, but you could fix this yourself if it bothers you. These are all of the issues I am aware of. The car is sold as-is, and all sales are final. -Do not bid unless you 100% intend to go through with the transaction. Time is of the essence for me.-No reserve on the auction, as I have to get rid of it. -I reserve the right to end the auction early, as it is also for sale locally.-$100 Paypal deposit required at end of auction. Remainder is due in cash/cashier check when you pick it up/do the title transfer. *Must pick up by Thursday of this week. (June 11th)* Please check out my feedback and feel free to ask questions. I look forward to a smooth transaction.
