That's a lot of miles for a car that's expensive to work on. If you are 'Mechanicallly inclined" go for it but it will be expensive to take to a shop. Check for regular maintenance,Tranny fluid change,timing belt all the major stuff b-fore buying. Ask a BMW mmechanic. If it's not an old person driving it it's probably worn out b-cause it's a sports car. Good luck

200k...that probably means another $7k-10k repairing it!!!
Not that great a deal... If you do really want to buy it have a mechanic inspect it throughly for about $200 first...losing $200 beats losing $12,000+!

Just remember that its going to cost you 3 times as much for normal maintenance, and 2 times as much for major repairs. The cost of ownership on these cars is huge, and could cost you a fortune even if you got the car for free! I turned down a bmw at a good price for this reason, and I am much happier with my Honda Accord.

So it really depends: is this going to be a car you rely on, if so you may want to keep looking... but if you are looking for a fun car on the side and can budget in the extra costs, then go for it!!!
