THE GOOD :
The car drives well with only has 112,000 miles on the clock and pulls, brakes and changes gears with no issues. The fully automatic roof is in excellent condition and looks to have been replaced at some point in its life but this is just a guess based on its condition. Upon quick inspection It does not look to have been painted outside of production. All lines and panel gapping are good. The Style 32 wheels are in good condition with only very minimal kerb marks to the passenger side wheels. Tires are budget brands however they do have a lot of thread left and the rears look like they were replaced recently. There are no visible oil or coolant leaks. The interior is in good condition with one hole on the outer driver side bolster and 2 tiny holes on the rear seat base. Electric windows, mirrors, roof and other car electrics working as they should. There are no ABS, ASC, or Airbag lights on.
THE BAD :
Some form of lower life decided to key the car down the driver side front to back and also the rear passenger side quarter panel. Ideally it would be a 2 side repaint and front/rear bumpers, rear panel has started to rust but has not gone through the metal so this would need doing also. The key only unlocks from the passenger door lock not the driver side, unlocks glove box and starts the car. It does not unlock/lock driver side door lock. The body work is where this car is let down, having said that with the body work done this would be a lovely project car for sure and from the drive yesterday would need very little mechanically to see it through and NCT. The thermostat is due for a change as is the case with most E36's of the age and mileage.
PICTURES :
This is now turning into a project so she shall most likely be getting the following :
2 sided repaint inc front and rear bumpers
Full service, check over, thermostat and new fan belt
Fresh NCT and 3 months tax
New leather gear knob
New service book and folder
Full scrub up
Thanks for looking
