man i dont know where my reply went to you question did someone delete it????????

ok here is the deal, you have to ask your self why the car did not get 3000 and why he dropped it to 2000 not 2700 or 2500........ok first its an auto and while kbb.com says the car is worht about 2500, the auto will kill the value on this car......if you look on ebay you will see cars in great shape with work history out the wazzu but if its auto they dont fetch much cash and most auctions dont hit the reserve for the car, if its stick and in marginal shape there can be bidding wars for the car,

if your in college this may not be the best idea(just my opinion) i was too busy in college for car reapairs too, unless you have a plethera of money and pay someone to fix everything, you got to rember an 87 is 15 years old, thats just old, things start to fail,rot and brake, most stuff you can do yourself on these cars but you have to ask yourself if you are prepaired for it.........do a car fax, bring you dad/friend/someone that knows about cars to go look at it with you.........take it to a bmw mechanic to look over.......a little bit of caution will go a long way, dont let the purchase become emotional, and by all means if it is not the car you want (ie.automatic) then dont buy it, unless you think you can make money on the deal.........good luck ask if you need help
