Price is good, but I may have to replace/rebuild the engine??? Does anyone know how much that would cost?
I have been emailing back and forth with the seller, and he seems to be trustworthy enough. He says that the oil pump failed (which I know can be pretty catastrophic to an engine), but how can I check it if I can't start the car? lol. Read ahead to see the description of it and let me know if this is even worth pursuing... Help!
"Hello, I am selling a 1998 BMW M3, it's a great car as you can see in the picture, it's in very good condition. Before I tell you anything else about the car let me tell you why it's so cheap. Couple weeks ago I was driving and my engine oil light came on (first time in my life this has happened) I didn't know I was supposed to stop right away. I drove for about ten miles before I finally stopped, now it has a weird clicking sound whenever I start it. Which by the way I havent't started the car since the day this all happened. Everybody I talked to is telling me I'm going to need a new engine or rebuilt the one I have. I bought the car from a dealership in Oklahoma, it had some very minor rear end damage which was all replaced and fixed by New Life Auto in Auburn. Because of the damage it came back as a rebuilt title. The car has 85,*** miles on it, very good condition, but it does have a couple minor dents on the body which aren't visible unless I point them out and two scratches on the driver side rear door. So I figure I rather loss some money and sell it for $10,500 instead of ending up lossing even more by getting a new engine.
If you have an engine or you deal with these kind of items or you can fix it than this can be a great deal for you. I just don't have the time and money to deal with it. If you are still interested in the car please let me know and I will give you more details on it. The interior is in MINT condition, wheels are in MINT condition, the car overall is a great car except for the part that matters most. "
