Possibly Looking At Buying A R Reg 323 Convertible

[supra]

Hi everyone, just signed up here.

a friend of mine has a bmw 323 forsale in his car yard. he has it up for £1995 or something like that. i was just hoping for a little advice what to look out for when i go and look at it. its a 1998 on an r reg i beleive. and has done just over 100k miles.

looks ok from the pictures ive seen of it. but yet to look at it myself.

thanks

Check all suspension, springs, bushes ect..

Im sure there is more but thats just my experiance

Inspect the rear arches mate - common problem on that shape is rusty rear archs, aswell as the bootlid, bottom of the doors and front wings at the bottom.

Ensure that all the electric windows work perfectly with no struggling what so ever. Give it a decent test drive and look out for any major noises from the soft top.

As Gav said inspect the bushes, suspension components and brake lines.

Doorcards are nice and secure (both of them) glovebox door isn't broken, the LCD display on the OBC isn't buggered, the climate control is fully functioning. Try the key on the doors and bootlid to ensure they haven't been replaced due to any accident damage.

Just give it a good old once over mate :)

Hope that helps :D

yo supra.1995 sounds a bit much for an r reg e36 to me.it would have to be mint for that sort of money.if i was you and you've got that sort of money to spend i'd go for an e46.

get some supra pics up
