so after trying to sell the car, then deciding to keep it, and then deciding to sell it again only to keep it, last night the car finally got traded in on someting else.
traded for a 328is w/ 38k on the odo. the BMW is really, really, really fun to drive.

the CL was a good car tho.. well built, fun to abuse, but it needed lots of stuff to make run right... timing belt, water pump, brakes, rotors, new struts. the dealer did give me 3500 for a 97 2.2 base with 5spd and 110k on the odo.

i'll try to post some pics later.

and, no.. im not leaving the mother forum

 

congrats on the new upgrade........I'm looking to trade mine in after winter.

 

3500 for a 97 they gave u a good trade in price.

 

I had a Subaru dealer offering me 8K this past summer for my 97 3.0 on a WRX that I guess he really wanted to move...

 

i agree.... the car had an oil leak also.... and idled at 2500rpm constantly after i took the CAI off, oh and a new drivers side window regulator.

it's going to wholesale anyway.

 

you must have really, really low mileage.

 

about 75K miles. I think the guy really wanted to move the car (previous year's stock). I loved the WRX and the way it drove, but the interior and overall comfort was pretty pitiful. My girl's ass is used to heated leather and the WRX just felt like a step backward.

 

an oil leak?!?!
man i drove that thing and people a mile back couldn't see me through all the smoke :P

congrats on the new ride bogdan

 

Congrats!

I completely forgot to call last night!

I look forward to seeing it.

 

i wonder how much they'll give me for my 97 3.0 prem. it has under <50k miles.

i actually got a letter from the local dealership saying that they want my car and is will to pay a whooping $250 more than the trade in price. since i have no $$$ for a new car, i just left it alone.

 

hi...do you know how much i love bimmers?

congrats on the purchase...what color is it?

 

boston green w/ tan leather. i love the color combo.. but some people dont.

 

you're such a materialistic girl

 

my dad traded my moms 99 3.0 premium (40k miles) on a Infinity QX4 and gor 11k on it.

 

yah.... didnt help that it dripped on top of the header. :o

still ran like a champ tho.

 

not bad. but it's a 99. i'm guessing if i'm lucky i can get 7k out of it

 

I am not materialistic....i just like nice things haha


and ur name is bogdan and you drive a BMW!!!!

i like the color combo....ANY color looks good on bimmers

 

e-pimp much katie?

 

nah...u arent asian are you??? u dont have to worry then hahaha

it's just a cute name...original....

 

what year?

 

Congrats on the new ride.......I wanna see pics soon

 

nah.. i'm a white boy. i'm romanian, so that explains the name.

 

96. i thought about not buying it, but i couldnt say no to the low mileage. it still smells new.

 

That is a badass car...I was actually debating about getting one not to long ago...328is...

 

you're right. it seemed a little quicker than mine

 

What year Bimmer did you get? I'm looking at a 01-02 330 Ci. I drove a couple with the sport package and those bad boys ride stiff, yet smooth.

 

Oh, and how much was it?

 

ive seen used, 98+ 3 series in the classifieds, going for 18-22g's

 

uh oh...yah, do you have an accent? i have a thing for um, european guys too...russian guys..all those countries

 

I don't really care for the E36 Bimmers. I only like the E46's (00-04). They're more rounded and sporty looking.

 

Nice pick up on the bimmer.

Those engines will last forever. Congrats!

 

a little.

 

they're a bit heavier tho, and the steering is toned down some. but its a bigger car that is more up to date. so it's kind of a trade-off.

i got this one because it was in my budget, and low mileage is always nice becuase i really "drive" my cars.

 

YAY!! AND you drive a bimmer....

 

I woulda paid 12K cash for a 99 CL3.0 w only 40K on it. In AZ, that CL could of sold for 13K outa da paper. Trading in is never good. Always sell yourself! There's always people like me wanting to skip the dealer for a better deal.

 

well... your choive would not havbe been mine.. I hate bimmers.. but congrats and GOOD LUCK!!!

 

WHAT! oh negative...you can not be my NY boyfriend ANYMORE!!!

 

damn thats all it took?! :P :P :P


I hate bimmers... give me a cheap model benz over a bimmer anyday...

 

yups i like teh benz.

 

congrats on the step up
