So I'm considering purchasing this car. Going to look at it tomorrow, but apparently everything runs well. The interior is immaculate, but more concerned with mechanics obviously. has around 100k. Price is 1800 which is obviously ridiculously low. Assuming everything checks out mechanically should I go for it, or should I avoid likely high future maintenance costs?

I guess I'm wondering if these things are a money pit with high repair bills and such. Any insight would be very helpful. thanks.

also specific things are should look for when checking it out, etc?

ive been researching some and someone else mentioned cooling system i think. fairly common to go on these? why do you say suspension is that a common needed repair on these as well?

Is this car advertised publicly? An $1800 E36 with 100k that's in one piece will be gone tomorrow.
