Looking at a used 335i that needs some cosmetic help... could use some opinions...

Okay -- So I've found what i consider to be a good deal here locally:

26,9 asking
30,000 miles
6MT
Blue metallic/gray/aluminum interior
Cold weather
Premium
Sport
Logic7
New tires (not RFT's)

Needs:
Has bad chipping on the hood -- definitely needs a bottle of touch up, but not sure how good that can really get it...
Has a small dent behind the drivers side door
Two Wheels have curb rash -- nothing MAJOR, but would drive me nuts until they were re-finished.

Any thoughts on what the last bits would cost me? and those being known, is 26,9 that good of a deal? I was thinking about offering 1500 less to account for the needs... what do you guys think?

Thanks!

that should be a good offer, and if you can get it at that price, you're getting a hell of a deal, although what model year is it? I'm assuming its rather new with only 30k miles, and 1500 should be more than enough to refinish the wheels, remove the dent, and respray the hood
good luck!

I guess the model year might be a good note -- its actually 29,780 on the odo, and its an 07 of all things...

Get a carfax and make sure the warranty is intact. On a perfect car (no accidents and intact warranty) offer 24,5K. It's a shitty economy.

Logic 7 is standard on the 335. Wheel rash can be cured for 125 a wheel. Hood repaint around 400 max.
