Okay, so a 2003 BMW 325i I want is available. It's for sale for $13,900 and only has 43,000 miles. It's the exact color and wheels that I've always wanted as well. It was salvaged due to water and runs like new. The NADA value on the description and accessories is $18,875. Since it's a 325i, that means it's rear wheel drive so I imagine winters and ice would be difficult so that is a huge turn off. The mpg is 18 city/27 highway and the estimated annual fuel cost is $2578.

My 2001 Infiniti QX4 is worth around $13,950 retail and $11,525 trade-in. The mpg is 14 city/17 highway and the estimated annual fuel cost is $3392.

I drive 40 miles interstate roundtrip for my job each day so I like the thought of saving gas.

Any advice about the salvaged title issue, etc?
