6 series wanted

[Bryan Moran]

I decided to sell my 1985 635 project. I am casually looking for a driver. I am not specific re: manual or automatic. I would prefer a car that presents well but has usual 30 + year old issues.

I would prefer to purchase in the spring but you never know. I am located in Des Moines, Iowa.

For me at least, I am not a "max performance" guy so year doesn't matter as much as upkeep and pride of ownership. I intend to only exercise the 6 about 1500 miles a year on nice days.

My budget is low. I sold my 85 for $300, had over $2200 in it.

Came into a little money and my budget is now $7500, depending on location. The car, if that nice, would require transport, which would cut into my now much higher budget.

Good luck Bryan.

That is a good amount to be able to afford a good runner. Decide in advance if you want to go Euro or US.

Appears to be a fine example

$9500 is too much for me. I could probably swing it, but being in Iowa, I will need to trasnport it. My 85 I brought up from Texas was $800 to ship.

I am not a performance guy re: reason to buy. I am OK with an automatic, US or Euro. I liked my 85 front air dam, not as hip on the non front spoiler cars. Not a deal killer.

Looking nationally on CL but it's a bit worrisome. Don't really want to buy sight unseen.

Are you kidding? The red one Bobbo posted is the one for you!
Remember, the posted price is always negotiable and drive it home.
Good luck,,,,Greg

Not sure it's negotiabl 2K down. The one in Colorado has less miles and lower price and I don't think he will budge.

Found a decent 88 for $5500.

WOW! We're never sure of anything till we try! But, never mind.
Before I go, you should go to 'Cars For Sale'. There's an L6 selling for $1000.
Good luck,,,,Greg

I have called on some cars over the years and when a person goes too low it creates an uncomfortable exchange. It's called lowballing. It's best to just pass and not create hard feelings.

In a nationwide Craigs List search I have found several 6'ers and am close on one. There is more then enough room to buy a couple, so I need to resist.

That L6 is a local sale only. I am in Iowa and that's too far away to gamble.

GOTCHA!
