Hey all,

I'm new here and possibly a soon-to-be Z3 owner. I wouldn't hate some advice if anyone has some.

A colleague is selling a '97 1.9 Z3, 5-speed 177k miles, has some cosmetic issues but is claimed to be in "great shape". Planning to go see it tonight, and I already have a checklist of items to look at and ask about. Working on getting the pictures to post here, but wondering if there's any advice that I should keep in mind. The seller is a guy who always seems particular about his stuff, so I am going in believing he has taken care of it (he's selling because he got a lower mileage Z)

Asking is 4,250 USD, only other noted issue is that the radio doesn't work (I don't know yet if it's a bad head unit or something else). I plan on dealing a bit, but thoughts on price?
