Should I purchase used?

There's a find on Craigslist for a 1994 BMW 325i with only 101k miles on it for 3k. From the pictures, it looks nice, but it says that it needs new rims since all four of them are bent, and the engine could use a tuneup.

I like the low mileage on it, but seriously, how do you go about bending all four rims?? I mean, the roads around here ARE pretty bad, but still, all four?

Anyways, I'm going to go check it out this weekend, and was hoping to hear any input!

Thanks!

that sets up my internal red flag... i'd stay away from it

the driver probably "jumped" the vehicle, dukes of hazard style ?!?

I suggest you to buy a new one this is why because on repairing you have to pay a massive amount and still there is ambiguity that how many days it running perfectly. So you should to spend a bit more and get a new one.
