Nope. Legit, serious question because I don't know much about these things and I'm curious

I'll take a shot even though I don't know anything about 200SX's
  • Water stain on the headliner suggests a potential leak
  • The panel gaps between both doors and the front fenders look like crap. That looks shady.
  • Other panel gaps throughout the car look like crap, like that rear bumper to left quarter panel for example.
  • That whole engine bay... too many to list, but those DIY electric connectors up front scare the hell out of me. It's easy to see overspray all over the place too so you can tell it was a shit paint job, even if you hadn't seen the rear bumper.
  • Lastly, buy the seller. This guy looks to be importing many pieces of crap to sell on craigslist... this does not inspire any confidence to me.

Just post the real price, damn it.

Looks like to be reasonably priced

It's a low mileage 2014 BMW 328D 4 cylinder diesel with 62,000km asking $18,900

EDIT:

Some what of a rarity if you're willing to pay the premium

2012 BMW 128i with M Sport package and manual transmission

I paid not much less a few years ago for my 2009 128i without sport pack which was a good deal at the time. 10k doesn't seem to overpriced especially for relatively low KMs.

Or get this for half the price. A little more weight, but you also get a little more power. With a few small OEM+ mods it handles beautifully (namely M3 control arms).
Used to have an E90 330i and it was a great daily

need to close sunroof manually.... but should be a pretty quick car for sub $2k

twitchyzero 03-19-2021 11:01 AM

crazy paint mismatch but could be from factory

320icar 03-19-2021 11:25 AM

Great price but no pics of engine bay. Seems obvious but just make sure this actually is the supercharged SS. I’ve seen sooo many ads that claim it by people who don’t know anything, but it’s clearly the base model SS lol

You can just swap the intake manifold and the 128i will make the same power

True, but that will make it more than double the price of this example. Both are great cars, just depends on budget and purpose.

That thing started on CL at like 10k iirc. It’s been for sale and/or swapped hands a lot the last few years.

Edit: could be a different car? I don’t remember the supercharger but the one I’m thinking of was a 4 door Boston green that looked identical

Must have been a few hundred dollars because that's not a good or sought after car, anywhere.

it was supercharged and it was under 10k.

this kid is looking to double his money :lawl:

westopher 03-20-2021 09:50 PM

Same car. Sat for months at $8500. No fuckin chance at 18K. Maybe if it was nice.
It's also 190k miles iirc.
To be fair 8.5k was a steal even in rough shape, but new owner's been watching too many BAT auctions.
