Being offered a 2008 328xi for 500$ CAD, should I bite the bullet?

Passenger side, next to the windshield fluid filling white hose. Exactly where the high pressure sensor is . There's no fender liner there, so the wheel splash on the aluminum AC piping. I did not find a cheap AC line, they are about 200$ cad, easy removal easy install. You can get it welder by a pro welder, but its a hit or miss. |

Does it leak from this line slowly? Is there any posts on it? |

Mine was pretty bad. Went to the salvage yard, on 6 e90, 2 didnt have the ac line on, and 4 got the same corrosion issue. |

my 2007's AC had stopped cooling. I've always been a believer in the 'it should never leak' mentality, but i got it refilled summer 2018, no leaks detected, nothing repaired, and it still worked just fine this week.

well, after all of the repairs, assuming you don't go to the mechanic, it ends up being market price. I've seen the same specs offered for 4000 CAD. We don't have free shipping from the states, and we need to pay sales tax on anything imported (maybe even duties too). It's probably cheaper to repair it if in the US. Plus that rough idle can be anything, not just engine coils and spark plugs, which requires a garage to work on. I found a well maintained '08 328i, with documentation of repairs, RWD, manual, 190k km, sport package, real leather, but it's 6.5k CAD.

my first car was $700 and junk! But I was 19 and I loved it. 4 speed Volvo with ice cold air and rusted out everywhere (I should just name where it wasn't rusted out).
but $379 for a E9x heck if it drives and passes inspection it could run only 1 mo. and it'd be worth it. The steering is imho a 90/100 i.e. top notch. |

Why isn’t he fixing it up? Don’t waste your money or time. Save up and maintain your s60 and then get something nicer and newer in a few years. |

He already put 3k into it, I guess he got tired of it. He had a honda civic before and wants one now. He's not really a car guy, I offered him to fix it up and it would serve him many years to come, he didn't feel like it. I've been taking care of my s60, it serves me very well, for Canada it's a great car, I wouldn't buy one in Germany though, it's made for a different climate and speed limit. I've been thinking of getting the new S6 or S7 in a few years, or maybe the new 540xi when they start coming off lease. 3-5 years old is the best price for getting a car, they already lose 65-80% of their price by that time.

Not really happy with either of them. I’ll prolly just pay a coder to our INPA on my computer now and throw the others in the trash. |
