850i for 15k??

I don't know much about the 8 series, but I always loved them. I just spotted an ad for a '92 850i with 92k mi for $14,900. It's baby blue, one owner, that's about all the ad said. Is this a good price? Should I go look at it?

Yea dude, totally go check it out. I saw a 1990 840i for like $22,000 CDN, so an 92 850i for that price seems like a good deal, specially if its in good shape.

Thanks. But as I think more about it, that V12 must drink a lot of gas, and at these prices today, I don't know if it's a good idea. Aw hell, you know I'm gonna go check it out tomorrow anyway

What? the deal? I don't have any reason to think so. After some quick research, I found they go for about that price and higher, depending on mileage.

V12 with almost 100 grand on it. Expect some parts to start going and pay some big bucks. Why do you think the previous owner got rid of it.

15k isn't exactly impulse-buy material. be sure you do your research.

Yea well, it was an impulse last night. Today I'm too lazy to go out and look at this thing, so I guess that's that. I wanna get one eventually, so I'll do more research on the 8 series in the meantime.

It's not about speed. That's not why I like them. They're just plain old beautiful cars.
