Ive been offered a 1996 BMW 520i with 108k on the odo in trade for my old Mazda/Ranger 3.0
Supposedly..there is an "issue" with the tranny linkage. The engine is supposed to run fine. Ive not seen it as of yet.
Just wondering what you folks think about that particular vehicle and how desirable it is. My wifes 1997 Saturn now has 254,000 miles on it..and while it still runs..and actually passed California smog a few months ago...is getting really...really tired.
Ive been asking $600 for the Mazda...the body has 440,000 miles on it, with the third engine in it. It wouldnt pass smog in 2009, so I bought the current Ranger as I needed a vehicle Now!. IM sure the only thing wrong with it...is a burned out cat. Shrug. Ran quite nicely when I parked it 3 yrs ago.
Anyway...I know dick about BMW automobiles. Is this a decent car..assuming its in good condition..or is it a money pit?
