"1997 BMW 318ti Base Hatchback 2-Door 1.9L, Manual transmission

VIN: WBACG7323VAS98072

This car is NOT running. If you purchase, you must tow it away from my residence in Frederick, Maryland. Please do not purchase if you cannot immediately have the car towed away. I have a clear title.

It has about 182k miles on it, but I am not exactly sure as the battery is dead and I can't read the odometer.

The car has a blown head gasket and is not running. Here is the story on the car: it was being driven from Frederick to Hagerstown, it overheated and broke down at the top of South Mountain. We had it towed to a shop where they pulled the plugs...it had no compression and found coolant in the cylinders. We towed it to my house, where it has be sitting for the past 10 months. We are moving and we need to get rid of it.

The car is in otherwise good condition by Kelly Blue Book standards. The tires nearly new (tires were purchased from Walmart about a month before the car died). The KBB private party value (if it were running) is $1,696...see here: http://www.kbb.com/bmw/3-series/1997-bmw-3-series/318ti-hatchback-coupe-2d/?vehicleid=7306&intent=trade-in-sell&options=551755%7ctrue%7c274620%7cfalse%7c4237094%7cfalse%7c274700%7ctrue&mileage=182000&category=hatchback&pricetype=private-party

The junk yard offered to tow it away for $300. I am asking $400 or best offer, but I will not take less than $300. Cash or cashiers check. I want it paid for and towed away by no later than Friday, June 14th.

The car is offered "as is"...no warranty expressed or implied. Absolutely no refunds! You buy, you keep it...period. "

LSx, anyone?

I'm guessing you'd have to find another M3 drivetrain source as the CL ad in the thread has been deleted.

I was waiting for Mark to comment on this.

I always liked these with the M style package. Never drove one though. I thought it was a good looking hatch, especially for that time.

They are great little cars, but for the love of god, don't lift off throttle in a hard corner.

Too bad it's too far away. I need the interior door panels for mine.

I have another obd1 drivetrain, and the last thing I'd want is more electronics.
