WTB Brilliantrot 318is Slicktop

About 6 months ago I bought a 318is locally. You can view my build thread on it. Even though I love it, I've come to the realization that it would be easier to buy a better condition example rather than painstakingly restore the car I have.

Right now I'm only considering 318is's which are Brillantrot + slicktop. Good condition preferred, particularly the body condition. No/minimal rust, no major dents, original panels. Prefer original engine. I'm looking for a car to keep for a long time and will not be engine swapping or turning into a track car.

My budget is up to $8000. Cash in hand. PM email or text. toby.corbin@gmail.com 713-252-8861. Location: Houston, TX - willing to travel for right car. Would need to get PPI at a local mechanic if buying out of state. I've bought cars out of state before and may also consider shipping if the seller is comfortable with it.

Not sure if you saw this. Looks decent, but the hawaii part turns me off.

Pretty set on red at the moment. May also consider a early model in Gletscherblau or silver, though I'm not sure how I would like the weight balance of an I6.

several,

I saw that one, in fact I spoke to the seller and am planning on seeing it in 3 weeks when I'm in the Bay Area for a family function. Just hope it doesn't go too soon. The price seems a little low to me, so I'm a little wary. Why is the Hawaii part a turn off to you?

I'm not sure how long it was in Hawaii, but there is a lot of potential for rust in Hawaii. I'm just worried of something showing up down the line.

I'm also in the market for a 318is. I'd love to get a CA only car for the cool 90s plates.

I've got one with minimal rust but still overall a bit rough, currently not running but I bet it's a simple fix. Would be $2500 firm.

Nice looking find.

[c0rbin9]

I've seen that one - it has non-original body panels, so I'm not interested.

Thanks for suggestion.

Didn't even notice that. Looks like it is.
