I found my 87 325es on the Internet. There's a number of classified
listings on the web and I got a much wider reach that way then by just
looking in the newspaper (I didn't have the Roundel yet). The car I've
bought had been taken care of reasonably well, but not meticulously. I
imagine many CCA members may take better care of their cars. I was
confident I could see what condition the car was in, but of course you'll
be looking for a much newer car and for that it may be harder to see how
good a car is.
