seeking a 325iS, 325iX or 535iS with possible partial trade

["Ron" <miles2go@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's right I've just broadened my search beyond the 635. I guess I just
want another bimmer and one that will be good on the highway and be
competent if caught in a late season snow storm which we do have.

Potential cars should meet the same criteria that I gave for the 635.

Again, in general I'm looking to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of
$7500 or
less and want a car that looks nice and is in sound mechanical condition
all around. I'm very familiar with all models I'm interested in.
I'm hoping to find something within a short drive from Utah but might be
able to fly out as long as the drive back isn't more than two days.

Possible partial trade: I have my wife's daily driver 89 Volvo 240 wagon
with a very rare and original 5spd transmission that I'd throw in and I'd
only want about $1,800 for it. Highlights are heated seats, working A/C and
Blizzak snow tires. We are the Volvo's second owners.
If a trade is done the asking price for the bimmer could be up to $9,300 I
suppose but asking price cannot be more than what the car is worth.

The bimmer must have the following with no exceptions unless noted:

A 5spd transmission and a limited slip differential. I think the diff is
standard on all of these but not positive on the E28.

Never been wrecked or repainted. Paint doesn't have to be perfect but the
car should look good and have no bare metal or rust.

Black, dark blue, silver are my primary color choices. I'll consider some
others
but I'm not fond of the lighter colors except for silver.

The interior should be in very good condition and not have the smell of
smoke or overly air-freshened.

The speedo, tach, odometer and heater must work. The odometer must reflect
the true mileage/kilometers.

Silver ext. and black int., tasteful non-trx wheels and working a/c are
pluses
but I'll deal with their absence if need be. The car cannot need any major
work and must be able to pass emissions.

Cheers,
