Found on Craigslist. Mystic Blue (?) on Alcantara interior. Looks to have the Cold Weather Package, cannot determine if it has the Premium Package.

I am talking to the owner now. Is it crazy to go for a ZHP with this many miles? Apparently everything has been done but Vanos. The price is hard to pass up even if it needs a little work.

PPI is your best friend. Several guys here are at 200k+ miles.

I googled the phone number that was posted in the ad, some bad reviews associated with it.

Thanks for the heads up! I was getting a little bit uneasy talking with him over text. The search goes on!

If it's cloth/alcantara, then it's guaranteed not to have Premium. Premium = leather with lumbar support.

I bought mine with 190k on it for about that price.

I reached out to the seller. The car seems like a great project that would clean up nicely. I got a bad vibe from him, so I'll probably shy away.

If somebody can score this car for under $5k, you're doing great..

Man those wheels need to go

That car has lived a very rough life and has been neglected. I'm not too sure I'd pay even $5500 for that, more like $4000. Considering all the money that will need to be invested in just cosmetics alone, I don't know if this would be a good "project car" at that price. Let's not even think about what it needs mechanically if the rest of it has been neglected like that.

Seller will not let potential buyer do a quick PPI, FYI.

Enough said.

It's a shame.... the car could clean up well.

I just noticed the lumbar support button! This is an alcantara interior, so it shouldn't have lumbar... unless someone retrofitted it, or replaced the whole panel with one from a lumbar car. :dunno
