What do I need to look for when purchasing a BMW?
when purchasing a new bmw.. there's no prob.. for the used one? and old? look out for rust.. make sure d body is in good condition.. if can.. ask for d history of d car.. such as bills for monthly maintainance.. ( i got mine.. it started since d second owner.. and i'm d fourth.. ) check d year of d production.. btw.. is it a coupe or sedan?
What would be my best price to counter offer?
need to know about d condition oso.. if can.. knock down to 14k.. not possible? then ask for one year insurance n one year roadtax.. when everything agreed..
ask for d last discount d seller can give.. even 50 bucks is a save.. nego lower so that u can spend a lil bit of ur budget changing the wear n tear parts..
wish u luck in searching for an e30.. if u love d passion of a classic car.. the dont rush into it.. all u need is patience my friend..

What year is the car? I recently got an 84 sedan for 12k in good running condition.
Check for rust. Bring the car to the mechs and have a look at the undercarriage, firewall, area near windscreen.
Inquire when the timing belt was last changed. You dont want this to snap on you.
etc. etc. to be added on by other sifus...

Nique...just to add on your choices...one old timer want to let go his e30/320/2 doors/1984 for 13k.....
condition...rusty as usual......but the best thing is, it comes with original zender front & rear (not the side skirts as they were fibre) with no plate ***28!!!!!!
