Is the transmission the salvage or the car itself? Also, how much would it cost to have it shipped to Atlanta LOL

Where are you going to college.

worldydoom · 10-25-2012, 01:46 PM

I'm a freshmen at Southern Poly. I'm transferring to Georgia Tech next fall.

Ah, Tech. Yes. They sign my paychecks.

I'd get a higher mileage 330 and repair it over time. Get a PPI, make sure it has no life-threatening issues like sub frame damage. Learn how to work on it over time. Spread out the expenses. Focus on school, get a good job, buy something gangster. Won't be hard if you graduate from here.

missing cup holders in the center console?
rear bumper seems to have a lot of scratches.

if they're zkw headlights they're most likely burned.

if i didn't know any better it was being parted out and hit from in the front end area

I'm lookin myself for a 330i but I want a 5 speed. Then again.. The interior got me thinkin'

That car has been posted before. For 10k and it was pointed out that it was not a ZHP.

I called the guy when it was first posted and asked for the VIN number and he won't give it to me. Its a total scam. Car is a POS.

Again not a ZHP

As I understand the car has a rebuilt and not salvage title? Than I guess it's not a problem, you can ask for a lower price though... But I think its better to know what happened to the car, the type of damage and so on, at least you will know what to expect. I bought several salvage from here and I know that buying an aciident damage car and flood damaged for example are 2 different things.
