Hey again guys,

Just got back from driving the '95 525i 5-speed. Single owner, 90k miles.

I drove over to my mechanic friend's house and he did a quick once-over and a trip around the block. Here's what he noted, and what he thought it would take to bring it back up to snuff:

- SRS Light came on and eventually went off after driving for a few minutes. He thought it could potentially be a few problems.
Up to $500 fix

- Engine miss. Doesn't seem to be firing on 6 cylinders. Putty exhaust, rough idle, and unimpressive output from engine.
$300-$500 fix

- Right rear tire needs replaced. Bridgestone Turanza.
$150

- Alignment fix. Wheel off center.
$69

- Few belts worn and should be replaced
$100

Total for repairs could be $1000-$1300-ish.

The car is being sold as is for $6k-ish. What do you guys think? Are his estimates accurate, and are there any problems with the car that should be taken as reasons to NOT buy the car?

Any input is greatly appreciated.
