When dealing with older BMWs, always buy the best that you can afford

The first and last one are pefect. the middle one? eh... not so much

My choice would be the '86 535i. looks best+stick

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power 06/30/2014 at 23:25

And the most power I think.

First Option is best option. How much would you get for your Loganvan? I know value must be high since it was owned by you!

the 535i is sweet. Nice V8 and most importantly manual! Pretty easy to work on too.

They are also fucking gorgeous. Just wish it was black!

Lol, probably 1500 if I'm lucky... It's in really bad shape honestly.

Paint can always be purchased at a later date, that's how I see it.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 00:59

you do have some options Haha. Thinking of changing the van anytime soon?

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve 07/01/2014 at 01:03

0

Changing as in selling? Yes, hopefully very soon.

Changing as in modifying? No, nope, not at all.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 01:07

Yup selling. And its great, searching for a car you actually are going to buy is so entertaining.

I'm gonna have to show the first and third one to my dad. I really love the third one, even if it is an auto.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 01:19

Both are so so nice. I can try and find something you may like tomorrow, where you at?

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve 07/01/2014 at 01:21

Thinking about it, that third one was for a sale not too long ago, then the ad disappeared, and now it's back again at a cheaper price. Huh.

St. Louis, Missouri. Around $2,000.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 01:26

Weird. Here, there are like 3 ads that are in the same location of pristine GTIs and a VR6 Jetta ( Which in Mexico are SO desireable) At high prices, and they have been since I started looking at the used car page. They have been for like 5 years now! I guess the owners assault the bauyers or something.

And I will try and find something nice

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve 07/01/2014 at 01:29

Or the ads just never got taken down. I see that a lot.

AM3R > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 01:32

true, you could also try to wrap it black too. I've seen some impressive wrap jobs by diy'ers.

They have been FOREVER. But yeah, it could be that.

...That's not $100,000 american dollars, is it?

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 01:46

0

No! Haha about $7,700 Dollars. Those are mexican pesos. Still almost 8 grand for that.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve 07/01/2014 at 01:49

0

Okay, Whew! I saw the dollar sign and was really concerned. Definitely not worth $7.7K.

The E28 535i is a 6I, not a V8.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 08:59

0

I tell you, in Mexico, people do buy them at that price. There are MK1 GTIs (which here they were called Caribe GTs) por around $10 or $11 Grand

Chuck 2(O=[][]=O)2 > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 07/01/2014 at 10:32

First one or last one. I like them both and both owners seem to car about the vehicles. It's a tough choice because of the manual, but the high milage on the auto might need attention and cost more than the car,

AM3R > Jobjoris 07/01/2014 at 12:24

0

Ah yes, sorry! I was thinking of the E34 535i!

Jobjoris > AM3R 07/01/2014 at 17:03

0

That one had a M30B35 6I as well, sorry. The 540i E34 came with a V8. Only when the E39-series started the 535i got a V8.

AM3R > Jobjoris 07/01/2014 at 17:23

0

once again I'm wrong lol! The E34 535i had the "big 6" how could I forget! The E34 530i, which was never sold in the USA, had the m60 V8. Hopefully I'm not wrong again!!

I found these cars quite good options:

1. 2000 Nissan Maxima V6 6 Speed Manual!: This one surprised the hell out of me! It has some quite bad damage in the rear due to a crash, and it isnt loaded. Miles are a bit high, but it is Japanese, so reliability. I think this was still the time Nissan made cars actually fun to drive. Right on budget!

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4548541840…

2. 1999 GMC Yukon 4WD with Split Rear Doors! This is right up your alley. It looks pretty damn decent, and it all seems to be original in the inside, as well as clean. I think it might be worth giving it a look. Not that many miles, and pretty solid looking.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ctd/4548374059…

3. 1996 Acura Integra. It isnt rices out, which is good. It doesent look that bad, though it has high miles. It is going to be fun to drive, and that V-TEC. $1650

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4548251784…

4. 2000 Volvo S40. Looks pretty good, and isnt too beaten. Engine light is on and you may have to fix some stuff, luckily, its uder budget for $1,100

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ctd/4548201915…

5. 1998 GMC Single Cab Truck. Seems decent, and you like GM, so here ya go. The truck runs and it will be reliable, its also RWD and has a nice harley davidson sticker on it. Asking $2000

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4532600946…

6. 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTO. You like these, and this seems to be pretty decent looking. Asking $2000 and it has had maintenance done previously.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4547908851…

7. 1997 2 Door GMC Yukon!!! Red interior, V8, 2 doors. It only needs tires, and it does have a little rust but otherwise decent! Right on $2000 Dollars.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4547877923…

8. 1998 GTI VR6. (HRNG For me) Looks stanced, but says it runs good and drives well. VR6s are known to be solid, and this one has 120k miles. Yours for $2000

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4547847923…

9. 1989 Buick Raetta. Ok, this is unique. Pop up Headlights and the TV in the center console.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4547416426…

10. Saab 900T Convertible. Its a saab, a convertible, a turbo. Dont know about reliability, but it is cheap at $990 Dollars.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4546830779…

Ill find other stuff later, but for now, here are good options, hope you like them!

Yes, the M60B30 530i replaced the 535i somewhere early 90s...

Damn, thanks dude. These are all right up my alley. That Integra is really tempting.

Ive got some more!

1. 2003 GMC Sonoma. It seems pretty ok, and is a nice looking truck. It has a cracked head gasket but is on budget.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4546442133…

2. 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix SE. Its got a ton of miles at 220k Plus, but it seems good, and is a nice color. Everything seems to work and new stuff has been replaced:

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4533193624…

3. 1987 Pontiac Trans Am. Pop Ups. V8. RWD. Although it looks quite battered and is right on the budget. The guy has bought new things for it though.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4513672854…

4. 1998 GTP Grand Prix Supercharged. This is cool. A Supercharged engine, 2 doors, and it hasnt got too many miles. Still needs work in some areas though

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4540789956…

5. 1994 Acura Integra. This is even cleaner than the last one, though it has been modded, but it could be returned to sane levels. I think the color is peculiar, and the mileage is a bit high but Honda reliability. Oh V-TEC. Right on budget.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4545533384…

6. 1995 GTP Pontiac Grand Prix. 2 Door red coupe that seems to look great, and has reasonable miles. Most things work on it, and it is nicely on budget.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4538599000…

7. 1996 GMC Silverado Z71. It is exteded cab with a nice 4WD system. Looks decent, although it has some miles on it. Its on budget at 1,800 Bucks

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4537958504…

8. 1995 Chevy Silverado Z71 Step on. Pretty much the same as last, but with more miles, and with more things needed added. Same price, different color (black).

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4514729764…

9. 2000 Chevy Silverado. This is your favourite gen. It is a base truck in white, but it seems to be pretty well treated. I dont know the mileage but its a damn good price at $1000 Dollars

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4492376521…

I got these more, if you want something even more specific I can try and find it! Good luck!

So much want for all of them. Why have I never found these while I look!?

That last ones so cheap because of a blown head gasket. Something had to be wrong for only wanting 1k!

crap, forgot to mention it! I just love browsing, but there are always obscure ones oyu stumble upon and say damn, how didnt I check this one out.

There was also an 80s dually yellow Suburban, but thought it was way to extreme. Actually, here you go!

I'D DRIVE THE SHIT OUT OF THAT.

Too bad gas isn't exactly cheap right now and that thing probably uses 4 gallons to the mile.

Pretty accurate. Haha, man have you seen Twister movie, the Suburban used there is EPIC

Oh man oh man oh man I LOVE Twister, I need THAT CAR NOW. AND THE RED RAM
