As many know ive got the V70R for sale and maybe trade if it would mean i could sell the trade for more. I got an offer for a 1998 BMW 328is coupe with 150,000 miles. Automatic. Would be a direct trade or maybe he'd pay me. Tons of pics below.

Seller is very honest and from what he said it needs a new radio (or fuse since it just stopped working) and a little tlc on the inside. Window tint I'd kinda fading as well and it would be nice to have the hood resprayed.

Good idea? Bad idea? Fair trade?

Going to drive it tomorrow so what do I look for?

That's like a $2000 car...is your V70R running/in one piece?

Kind of a fairish trade? Even though it's an e36, this isn't really anything special. It's better than many comparable cars from the same era, but unless you're smitten with it or otherwise like it more than the wagon, I wouldn't bother. You might have an easier time trying to sell it, but that's not really a guarantee in that condition.

If it was a 5spd MAYBE

Kinda running. A new hose goes bad every day and i think the transmission may kill itself soon. Also has a rebuilt title though it was never wrecked!

a 150K mile BMW automatic transmission without verifiable service records is a ticking time bomb.

This car maybe a ticking time bomb, but your car is probably an even worse ticking time bomb, with a rebuilt title!

TERRIBLE IDEA. If you're having issues paying for the V70R an old beat BMW isn't going to do you any favors.

I'll trade you a 2000 Grand Am SE coupe AND a 1973 Toyota Celica ST. That's two cars! He's only offering you one. Two is clearly better.

Is it only worth $2000 to you?

If you were closer I would most likely consider it!

Don't do it, man. E36s are great, but that's a $3k car at best.

Wait..you're trying to trade a V70R for a beat up automatic E36?

There is no shortage of clean E36s out there, especially in manual form. It's going to take a lot to get that car to be clean and pristine - I'd suggest you wait and find the E36 you really want, if that's what you want. I'd imagine your V70R is worth far more than the E36 too, assuming it's in decent condition.

Back away from the beat to shit German car. That's going to be worse than your wagon. Get something Japanese or American, something reliable.

That thing looks horrible to be honest. I'd keep the Volvo, because that thing looks like a nightmare waiting to happen.
