Editor’s Note: We love scouring the internet for reasons to spend money we don’t have on cars we daydream about owning, and these are our picks this week. All prices listed are bid amounts at the time of publishing.
Buying vintage can be pretty daunting. What with classic Porsches and a majority of vintage BMWs going for hundreds of thousands of dollars at this point, you might not know where to start. But if you’re dead set on buying a vintage car and you’re still strapped for cash, a clean high-mileage car might be your best answer.
High mileage tends to scare most buyers off. But if you find a car that has an in-depth service record and has been taken care of, yet still has over 100,000 miles on the clock, there’s a chance it might be a worthwhile deal. These four cars have been around the block once or twice, but they’re still worth a look.
Euro-Spec 1985 BMW M 635 CSi
What we like: It’s almost too hard to find 6-Series cars that are this well kept. The few blemishes you might find on this M 635 CSi are easy to overlook when you get to ride in that pristine, creamy white interior every day.
From the seller: This 1985 BMW M 635 CSi is a Euro-market example imported by Hardy and Beck Performance of Berkeley, California, in March 1985. The car is thought to have remained in California until moving in 2006 to Delaware, where it was lightly used and stored in a heated garage.
