caseyctsv Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have been looking at a 93 - the V12 is enticing but would cost a fortune to keep on the road I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 The manuals are much more reliable. They also cost twice as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend's dad had an 8 series in the late 90s and had nothing but trouble with it. Every time it broke it also cost a fortune to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time it broke it also cost a fortune to fix The auto's are $10/11k cars chuck full of $5,000 parts. I fell in love with these cars "on-paper" a few years back and researched them. Botom line: Any 8 car within my budget (sub $15k) would be money pit so deep that light would never reach the bottom. If you've got 30k to spend, then you can find a 6spd 850CSi to be happy with.

If you've got 30k to spend, then you can find a 6spd 850CSi to be happy with. I remember when the power window switch stopped working and it was $1200 to replace it. I think the car was sold the next week. Its a shame that a $100k car when new, is now only worth 10k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 They want 16K for the one I found. That's a great price for a CSi or too much for anything else. I've seen nice CSi's fetching $30k, but it's still a third of their old MSRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're asking 14k on the internet, they probably got it for 8. Never understood the "burnout" I guess. It wasn't for lack of trying...or was all that smoke coming from your exhaust pipe?
