You own a 335. Why on earth would you get a beater?

BMW's are meant to be driven every day - it is not a Ferrari whose life span is 15k miles.

Whatever car I own, I daily drive it. Otherwise, I feel that I am just spending money to have the car look pretty in my garage.

The only exception to this rule is if you live somewhere that gets a lot of snow, like Buffalo. In that case, having a pickup or an SUV is good, for the ground clearance.

FWIW, my pops has a 2009 GTI and he's 59. Loves it.

Why not search a little further from your range? Maybe you'll come across a better deal. Take your son with you and have a little road trip back.

Personally I have a VW, car listed below. Anyways I've heard of all the issues but I haven't experienced one slight problem in nearly 2 years and 20k miles of driving. Any car has issues, including everyones awesome BMW's

KingOfJericho · 03-03-2011, 04:45 PM

I did find that cars in SoCal were all around 20k but I search throughout the northeast and there are several around $16-18k with <30k mi on them. It would be worth it for the trip or even to ship it.

over all i like the car. work on the price since its modded

aretardedorange · 03-03-2011, 07:49 PM

I am getting a DD soon. The new jetta looks tight either that or a older TL. That car looks amazing! I say get it.

Thanks. I just found out some more information about the car. All mods and performance upgrades were done by Group 5 Motorsport in San Diego. They are a well known and reputable performance shop. Matter of fact, they show the car in their Gallery as an example of their work. It had a different set of wheels back then and to me, it did not look as "dropped" as it does now. I am going to contact them and scoop up more information on the original owner and condition of the car.

I have an appointment to see the car and do a test drive on Saturday. We see how it goes

If you want just a beater to tool around in, I'd say that's a good choice

Assuming it wasn't abused or other stuff I think it looks pretty solid. I say go for it if that's the kind of car you were looking for.

I think its a great daily driver.. GTI's hold their value pretty well, and like you said, it'll be a great car for your son as well. Even if you only do drive it for a couple of years (until your boy turns 16) you'd still save a bit of milage on your 3. Win/win situation.

abisson · 03-04-2011, 05:48 AM

I never understood people who don't DD a BMW. EXCEPT for probably a M series.

Like... they are meant to be the perfect DD lol?

Al Gore may have invented it but ...I OWN the whole interwebz, son. I am just allowing everyone have fun with it because it'd be a lonely place if it was not shared.

Saturday visit and test drive will determine the outcome.
