Does this look dodgey/would you buy it?

[MilesP 13]

I was surfing trademe when I found this >> http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/328i/auction-626249730.htm

My questions are:

1. Does this look dodgey

2. Would you buy it if you were in the market for an E36? (If not then why?)

Looks OK to me - I'd prefer half leather seats though. Door cards go at this age. Retrimming is cheaper if you sand off all the old glue from the inserts yourself.

The coolant level sensors can last anything from 6 months to 6 years, and are not expensive.

Drive it, check the rest of the electronics, check oil consumption (should be zero for those Kms)

It's a manual. What's not to like?

Steering wheel has been swapped, check it hasn't been crashed.

That's the US large airbag wheel that was fitted to Japan spec cars - mine has one too.

Looks like the gear stick is cut down to me.
