I have a '01 330 Ci with 130k miles that I bought when it had 86k on it. It's a fine car for a daily driver.
Control arm bushings wear out nore quickly than might be expected. The usual fix is to replace the control arm rather than just the c a bushing. At least one aftermarket supplier that I know of offers a replacement control arm that has bushings designed for easier replacement. Because you're on a 914 board, I'm assuming that you can do basic maintenance. Shop costs on these cars are high, perhaps second only to Audi (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I've had to replace pads and rotors and repair one sticking caliper. Took me awhile to locate caliper rebuild kits. Dealers don't stock them, they just charge you for a new caliper. The car is an excellent value daily driver. I'll take my '01 330 over an '01 A4 any day. |
