In the summer of 2005 I was looking for my second car. I had my mind set on an 02 Jetta, black on black. I had test driven the car before but on my way back to the dealership to buy it, they sold it! I saw they had a high mileage 2000 323i, also black on black, for around the same price. I took a chance on it and fell in love. The car drove much nicer than the Jetta even though it had 114,000 miles. I actually didn't end up having too many problems with it. I've been a bimmer guy ever since!
