[QUOTE="afazlee, post: 546721, member: 22369"] looks like a pretty good deal to me, car well done up, condition looks like it was from a careful owner, plus it's a 325i, got some ummpphh. bring the car to a workshop for a check-up bro, rm100-200 cost is a small amount to pay relative to the rm80k tag price. i think the price can nego a bit. like wat others sed, u gotta be realistic when it comes to buying a 10 year old car, do set aside at least 5k in case of any unpleasant surprise. like what a sifu here once told me, the 1st owner paid a hefty few hundred grand to enjoy the udm, n u (me) only paying a fraction of dat to have d same joy, so don't complain too much when paying for the wear n tear. best is always ask for the service record to see what parts have been changed, a good and careful owner always keeps track of parts replaced. the exterior and interior mods help as u don't have to spend much on that later, but do be cautious as look can be deceiving. test drive with open eyes and ears, listen to any noise, be aware of any jerky gear change, if u satisfied with what u can see, feel n hear, bring the car to workshop for a proper diagnose and checking of the undercarriage to look for any sign of repair from major accident. for me, rule of thumb, as long as there is no major defect to part that will cost you a bomb like gearbox, no major accident, others are fairly tolerable as long as u satisfied that the previous owner did a periodic service and maintenance. i'm lucky to have acquired a reasonably well maintained 2002 E46 a few months back. just need to change bushing etc which does not cost that much. all things well, i hope u have fat bonus to pay for that car's tyres once it worn out. gud luck bro!
