1997 318i for 17.000

[BMW-FW26]

It mint and has 30,000 miles. It's not fully loaded but almost. Too much?

 

[Tom]

Yeah sounds a bit high for an E36 especially a 318.

 

[70 cents]

You could get a nice Pre-owned E36 BMW M3 for that price. That is way to much for a 318.

way too much, I paid $12,500 for my 1998 328is, it had 82k miles on it though. I wouldn't pay more than $11,000 for 1997 318i if I wanted to buy one.

 

[newguy]

Yup, at least 5k too much.There was a 97 5 series with full documentation absolutely cherry for sale up here in canada for 17K asking price. That about 13 or so in your bucks..good luck

 

[Kirby]

I saw a 2001 330 in today's paper for 19K, that's waaaay too much for a 318.

 

[BMW-FW26]

Sorry my mistake. The guy actually wants 18.900 for it. Rip off! No wonder its been there forever. Whats a reasonable price you think? 14?

Too Much !

I bought my 1996 BMW 318i for $20,000 CDN about 4.5years ago (September,2000) with 75,000km. It was about 4 years old at that time. I got the manual transmission (A must for in-line 4 models), convience package (Hi-Fi sound system with additional 2 speakers, heated seats, headlight washers, fog lights, cruise control, BMW 15" is sport rims which are the same as the standards rims but with holes poking out, and etc) No moonroof, and no leather, but have leatherette which comes close. Besides those two options i think it was pretty loaded in its day. The dealer who is asking $18,000+ for that car should have his or head checked out. The car is about 7 years old, and would be worth more than $10,000, $10,500 max. You can buy a 1998 BMW 750il for that much. [read]

318 is probably worth no more than 10k in any condition. It's not a desireable car for the most part.

looking at the way gas prices are going, a 4 cylinder bmw isn't really that bad. My 318i gives me around 700km/ full tank

buy Honda Civic then

c'mon you can't compare a BMW 318i to a Honda Civic. The 318i is pretty fast with a 5 speed manual, and plus you get the BMW prestige. Secondly, if you look at it practically you don't really need a powerful in North America with all those speed limits, and etc. When i used to drive my 318i on a regular basis i always got pulled over for doing 150km+ on the highway. Now i bought a 2000 528i in addition to the 318i. The 528i is fast car, and i manage to get atleast one speeding ticket every week. Sure the Honda Civic is fast, but handling, and ride quality sucks.

Damn, I hope you're kidding. That would get super expensive.

yes true say

Any major performance difference between the 318i manual and 328i manual?
