some of those prices seem way higher than they should be.

Yeah word, Id trade that BMW for that 240 for sure, I mean the 240s not that great but its a place to start it has decent mods already, It needs new wheels horribley and you need to clean the engine bay up but other than that it seems like a fair trade im not that big of a fan of older bmw's but idk why that guy would trade for the older bmw lol DOO ITT

idk man, i drove that car and something just feels wrong.

its a cool car but i would check it out real hard before going fourth.

why not get you BMW fixed then sell it for 7k and buy a swapped 240 for 4500?

just my two cents.btw if you do buy it, it will be nice to have another 240 in the valley.

good luck

Before the BMW had body damage I had it up for $7,195 for about a month and just BS trades that were worth half as much as mine. No one wanted to buy it out right...... I dunno. I had a 91 TT 300zx that I traded for the BMW.
