BMW 3-Series (1989)
for sale

Price: US $3,500.00

Description:

NOTE: Do not bid on this item unless you have ready funds AND have performed all desired inspections. I have now had 2 buyers, one on eBay and one on CL, that put up a deposit and then tried to obtain financing. This is a binding auction based on specified terms. Please note that the deposit is due within 24 hours of winning bid, and full payment is required within 3 days. Failure to meet such timelines will terminate the sale. See last paragraph below for other terms.
I purchased this 1989 325iXT in Washington state where it was imported from Japan under the 25-year rule. This E30 wagon was delivered by BMW directly to Japan where it was registered in Feb90, causing Washington to title it as a 1990 model despite its Feb89 manufacture date. Car currently has a clear Florida title as a 1990 model. The VIN isn't recognized by eBay (thus the zeros in that field), but is WBAAG05020EA42052.
Car is also listed on Craigslist Pensacola, and that site contains pictures and more details about condition and recent preventive maintenance. Overall the car is in excellent mechanical and interior condition, with the cloth interior in great shape and no dash cracks. As noted, the exterior will need paint unless you just want to use it for a daily driver. Note that actual paint on driver side is worse than in the pictures due to swirl marks caused by recent bad detail job.
Sold AS IS, WHERE IS without warranty based on age of car. Buyer should bid only with available funds, and arrange inspection BEFORE placing bid or clicking BIN. Seller requires a U. S. bank wire for final payment. Buyer must arrange for pick-up within 10 days of auction end. Deposit will be applied to winning bid amount, but is non-refundable if the sale isn't completed. Car is advertised locally so Seller reserves the right to end this auction early.
