    WTT: 1997 Corvette for E30 M3

    Hi guys, I've been wandering on this site for quite some time now and finally decided to join up. I'm a huge car enthusiast and always had a thing for E30's since 1988 when my father picked up an '86 316 to have as a vaca car but soon sold it due to lack of time spent in Greece. It was the first car I ever drove and now I want one. I was looking to see if anyone is interested in a trade for a 1997 C5 Corvette in Jersey. Selling price is $14,000. You can check out my post on Craigslist. http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2770141854.html
    Thanks guys, appreciate any help to get me into an E30. I'm mainly interested in M3's but i would entertain offers for other E30's.

    have you driven an E30 M3? You may be quite disappointed to drive a car of the same (or more) value with half the power.

    Also, is your vette manual or auto? I don't think you mentioned that, and I didn't click on all the images, since they are all thumbnail sized. I would suggest higher res images.

    other than that, the vette looks bad ass. I want your drivetrain in my E28.

      I have driven one and it was more about the style and the feel of the car than the power. There is definitely something to be said about the instant access of power with the vette though. It's a manual and definitely bad ass and a blast to drive but like I said, I've been in love with E30's from when I was a young pup and am looking forward to getting in one. And I definitely thought, for a split second, about my drivetrain in an E30 but the car is way too nice. Thanks for the advice and the help.

              There's one on eBay right now that only 2 towns over that I would jump on if I had my car sold.

                  Wow, clean Vette. Very nice for the first year of that body style.

                      my dad has a 2000 and 2010. the handling of a e30 done right deffinently feels more planted.

                        Really? Better than the 2010? I had a 06 350Z and the handling on that was far better than the vette.
