I'm looking into a '79 320i that is for sale around here. Been emailing back and forth with the owner.
Silver ext, blue int. His college student daughter used to drive it.
Miles: Around 172k
Around 172K - but: not really sure about a number of significant components such as the 5 spd trans (shifts very smooth, and there have never been any shavings of chips in the fluids), suspension (feels real solid), etc. I look at it as having much fewer miles.
No headliner sag.
Two dime sized 'spots' on the surface only along the lower edge of the rear side windows.
He was asking much more than I have, but I was honest and said I only have $1,600 saved up at the moment, could he flex? He said he could get into the $2k range. He'll throw in a cover he recently bought for it.
I'm guessing I need to look at the shock towers for rust. Any other bad spots? Too expensive, or sound good?
Thanks for your input guys.. trying to get one!
