Summary:

If I wasn't forced to purchase a new car (purchasing a 2015 model), I would keep the E30 but my current daily driver isn't going to last any longer. @66k miles, the car is in great shape, it pulls, its zippy, will run for many years ahead and it's a '93 which is the last year they made the E30. It needs a few minor things like steering rack, dash, top and little few things. But mechanically, this car will take you to far places without a hitch. Im asking SOLD or best offer. If it doesn't sell until after September, I am going to purchase a hardtop and I will be asking more.

I rarely check on this forum and the best contact method is by email @ herb.real@gmail.com or PM me.

Thanks for viewing.

Wow. One beautiful example that seems like a great deal. I would put some stock basketweaves on, but it looks amazing otherwise. GLWS!

Evening bump

Looks good but +1 on putting stock basketweaves back on it. GLWS

Bump, someone offer me reasonable price to what I'm asking now. I want this car before the week ends.

Thanks all!

Love this setup! If I had some extra cash, or if my e36 would sell. GLWS man

[949cruiser]

don't sell it.

[HerbReal]

don't sell it.

I wouldn't if my daily driver isn't crapping out and I need a better car for daily driving

=(

omg, I wish this was around when I was looking for one... I'd buy it at that price in a heartbeat. GLWS.

Local, too!

I think the wheels are a big reason this car hasn't sold yet. Too extreme for most people. Sort of a, "love it or hate it" type of situation. I would also advise on getting a new top. It's a high-dollar item, but the results will be worth it for resale. A new top, professionally installed, makes all the difference in the world when it comes to the look of a 'vert (I've owned 3).

Is the mileage correct? 66K? If so, this is a steal. Good luck, car looks good.

I personally love the wheels, makes the car stand out :) oh, and the 66k miles... lol

I'm looking at some funding options. I'm seriously interested.

Nice! Hope it went to a buyer who will maintain it well :)
