Reply:yea its nice, the gas isnt though
Reply:It has alot of mileage on it, and its AWD means gas guzzler, its a BMW, its a well made car.
Reply:yes it is, get it
Reply:those older bmws are AWESOME. totally reliable too. my dad had one when i was a kid. go for it!
Reply:heck no beamers are usually good but if it does break down on you it will cost a fortune since you will have to get foreign parts for the car
Reply:you can get something better...it has too many miles...get a mustang newer model and cheaper
Reply:hmm...Do the owners sound reputable%26gt;? go online and get a carfax report..this will help you..you will need the VIN number for that! do they have maintenence records? how many owners? any mechanical problems//? DId you have a mechanic check it out and give a clean bill of health:? if not DO ALL OF THESE THINGS! it will help
Reply:Thats VERY cheap for a BMW, If i were you i would get it checked out by a mechanic and you should ask the previous owner about any problems previously had by the car.





Personally i would choose something more fuel efficient and something more run down, being your first car it is most likely going to get a few knocks, bumps %26amp; scratches.. If you get the car above you will be very disappointed if it gets scratched.
Reply:yea that seems like a great car if it runs well. take it for a test drive and if all is well, that would be a good purchase. You can always tune it up later. Have fun and Good Luck! :)
Reply:BMW%26#039;s are reliable, it should run for a while. Looks pretty clean. Offer them no more than $2,500 and try to negotiate to there if possible.
Reply:I would be concerned about the gas mileage, and a good car for you would be a mini cooper. Many people are buying them, and even though they look small, they%26#039;re big on the inside. there%26#039;s many features ,and it%26#039;s comfortable. My brother is very tall, around 6 ft 4 and he fits perfectly in the little car.
Reply:well the car is older...so it is due for its share of problems...The miles seem a little low for being 17 years old...are you sure the odometer hasn%26#039;t been played with? Yeah i would continue to look...it has a nice price and looks pretty good...but looks can be deceiving. I would ask a lot of questions and definitely take it to a mechanic before i bought it. the seller should agree to this if he has nothing to hide. Also most auto places will do it for relatively cheap sometimes free if you have done business with them before.
Reply:yeah, it looks fine..and that%26#039;s a good deal too...make sure you talk to the owner and straight things out cuz u%26#039;ll never know...





one more thing...ask him if he has some receipts of repairs and maintenance of the car...if he has some and its kinda recent then itz good...it means he is a good owner and that car ur buying is good...





ask him too when is his last smog test...if its far from 3 months ask him to smog test it and of he doesn%26#039;t want to...tell him you%26#039;re gonna deduct $50 on the price of the car and then more if the car doesn%26#039;t pass the smog test...





Good Luck!!!
Reply:its an alright car, and its has a good price but your only problem will be that it will be a lil expensive to maintain and also the 5 series wont get very good gas milage....my advice would be 2 invest in a more fuel efficient car because in the long run it will definately pay off
Reply:that is a steal very good price you did very well with your decision. it will last forever just keep your oil changed regularly this is very important maintanace for your engine. i have a 1987 mercedes with 220 miles and it runs very well.
Reply:If you are buying a used car, make sure you see a Carfax report before you buy... if the owner doesn%26#039;t provide one, get the VIN number and buy it yourself. Good luck.
Reply:Wow it is a decent car and it looks like it was well kept! BMWs last a long time and this one looks like it was taken care of... at least in the pictures. My only concern is that it is a stick shift and sometimes people tend to abuse them. Make sure the clutch isn%26#039;t burned out of it and the transmission shifts smoothly! Be sure to check the oil and look underneath to make sure it isn%26#039;t rotted out. Other than that it is a decent car. It has high mileage but for a 1991 114,000 isn%26#039;t anything that means no one really drove it. Good luck I would say you got yourself a deal!
Reply:it should last at least 200,000 miles, do you know if the clutch was replaced? gas milage will be about 20mpg, it%26#039;s a 3.5 liter engine.





i just got a 2008 smart and dumped a 2.3 liter mercedes 190E that got barely 21mpg. gas will come back down to $3 a gallon by the end of the year. if you can afford the gas and it has no hidden problems, it should be fine.
Reply:for the money it%26#039;s a great looking car and low milage for the year. i%26#039;d take it to a trusted machanics first as bmw cost alot of fix and will usually have engine problem at that age.
Reply:yes but check gas mileage help save some money from going to the oil companys
