CAR SOLD

Some enthusiasts calling me on this car advised me to also post it on mye28.com and bigcoupe.com. Here is my listing from bimmerforums.com:
-------------------------------------------------

So, unfortunately I need to sell the e32. Lost my job, and its gotta go. Looking to get $3500 out of it. 170k miles, gray on black.

The Good:
-Runs strong, shifts smoothly (just had shift bushings/linkage done)
-Paint is in great condition, though has been repainted by P.O. (8/10)
-Interior is in amazing condition (8/10)
-Front suspension is almost brand new with some spare parts in trunk (all done and from P.O.)
-Haven't had any issues with any leaks since I had my mechanic do some work on replacing gaskets on both engine and tranny. The car sits for weeks at a time at my dads right now, and no puddles under it at all that I've noticed.
-Passes CA smog like a boss
-All the windows work!
-New Fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator
-Have new fuel filter in trunk, along with new oil filter that I haven't put in yet (Mahn or Mayle, can't remember which)
-New O2 Sensor
-Tires are fair
-Breaks in great shape
-No slipping on clutch

The Bad:
-Drivers side air not working. Broken servo brackets according to my mechanic and no power going to heater valves
-Reverse lights stopped working.
-Turn signals are intermittent. I've tried switching the relays, however it seems to persist meaning it is likely either a cluster issue, or the relay in the turn signal stalk. Not sure
-Seats are not twisted right now, but do twist if adjusted too much.
-Stereo was stolen out of car since before I got it
-Sunroof needs adjusting. I have a spare motor sitting the in trunk in case it needs it.
-Airbag light is on. P.O. had some hack job done on the airbag, disconnected it, and put tape over the Airbag light. I've put a replacement airbag and steering wheel on, and connected everything, but don't have the tool to reset the light, so the tape remains on it.

That is literally everything I can think of. Overall, it is a solid driver, and I think would be a great car to anyone looking for one who is willing to sort those things out. I have driven it on/off for a while now, and have no hesitation driving it for long periods of time myself.

Curtis,

Your Craigslist ad has already been posted in another thread but it's probably a good idea for it to have it's own.

And to think I was in San Diego two weeks ago, and could've driven this home... It's the twin to my e32, but in a much more desirable color combo, and lacks the rusty door feature that mine sports. I'd say good luck with the sale, but I really just want it for myself. Sorry.

Have someone hopefully checking it out tomorrow.

Thanks for the good wishes guys!

GLWS, E32 with a 5 speed is rare in the US market. 90 was the last year BMW imported a 7 series into the US with a 5 speed and only a small percentage of E32 with manual gearboxes were sold in the US market from 88-90.

Sooooooooo.... What happened?

No show

Seriously why would someone say that they are interested in the car, say ok to the time and address, then never show up or answer their phone....

sigh...people.

Bump. Dropped price. Kinda in a pinch and really, really need to get rid of it.

Because CraigsList. Really not all that uncommon.

How is the AC on the car? R12 or R134? Also, any cracks in the windshield?

No cracks in the windshield. I believe it is running R134 (screws on the inside of the fittings), and when I first got it, it blew cold. The recent problem though is that there is no power going to the heater valves, so something goofy is going on. No good answer on that, sorry

Oh how I miss IT Crowd

I just noticed that True Motorsports in Escondido is selling this same car. I'm confused.

Don't call me when you get confused by gladiator movies.

Another slow day at work?

Yeah, we're having the carpets replaced so nothing to do other than harass you.

Bought the car from him originally, but then lost my job shortly afterwards, so David is helping me sell it.

Gotcha, I figured it was something like that.

Alright, you can close this. Car sold to a good guy; local mechanic who was a BMW fan, driving up in what I believe was an e12 528.

Well, there goes a good one. Congrats on the sale, but still kinda wishing it would've waited for me! I guess I'll keep on with my own e32.

Take solace knowing it went to a good owner
