222,000 miles is a lot of miles
(Sorry, that's the best counter argument I came up with)

arrgh, not helping. From the picture it looks clean for the price. I want it, but I really shouldn't. This is quite the struggle.

Offer him $1000 and walk away if he doesn't accept.

But its a straight 6, and its so cheap. I have no idea what is a lot of miles for these engines.

Only counter-argument is the mileage.

It's a BMW. You don't want to be an asshat.

Have you checked for rust damage?

It's tempting, though.

No, I haven't been out to see it. I worry I would just buy it if I went to look at it and drove it. After driving a jeep for so long, Driving and kind of car is addictive.

But not a new BMW. I would be more worried about being a hipster at this vintage.

That's total CP. Seriously, you shouldn't need convincing - that's almost certainly a dog and a half, for a more than top-drawer price. You noticed it's a 4-door, yeah? Those go for a fair bit less than coupes.

If he'll take $700, it might be a bargain at that price. $1kish seems like an OKish sort of price. $1200 is quite a steep price. $1700 is in fantasy land.

Okay, then brace yourself. If you, by any chance, happen to stand even 5 metres away from it, you will automatically be transformed into a neckbeard who listens to The Number Twelve Looks Like You on his iPod, eats at Starbucks and drives away home in a Vespa.

Timing belt and water pump already done? New brakes? The fuck are you waiting for!? Look for rust and go get it!

Step 1. Take it for a spin.

Step 2. Offer him a reasonable price.

Step 3. Shake hands.

Step 4. Drive it like you stole it.

Example: MotoringConBrio 3-series
