Hi,
I am undecided between 2 very similar cars.
Just wondering what you guys would do?
Also how many miles do you think it should go for?
I'd get the one with full history. I bought a '90 318iS with 122k and FSH five years ago. It now has 185 and runs just fine.
I'd get a 318ti instead. Won't cost anymore to run but it's a lot more fun to drive.
Depends how well it's looked after!
I'd agree with John, get a 318ti. Much more fun and shouldn't cost much more.
If you do go for one of the 316's from what you say it's a no brainer. The
98 is a year newer and has FSH. A difference of 19k miles when they've both done 100k+ is negligible. However, make sure you personally check them over. The 98 could have a FSH and be a wreck!If serviced properly the engines should go for at least another 100k miles. Most of the usual high mileage items(shocks, mounts, clutch etc.) may well have been replaced by 100k so if you're lucky they could be good for another 50k without too many problems.
