    1991 318is silver/black - 160k - 5sp - $2500

    -1991 318is
    -160k
    -5 speed
    -LSD
    -Clean title
    -sunroof

    The good:

    -Runs well, clutch doesn't slip, no leaks or strange noises from motor.
    -No mods.
    -odometer works and accurate.
    -Recent cooling system work done.
    -New exhaust.
    -New fuel lines.
    -Solid interior, no cracks on upper portion of dash
    -Looks pretty okay from 10 feet away.
    -ebrake holds.
    -Windows work.

    The bad:

    -The body is meh. It has been repainted, and in Maaco fashion- not too well. I won't point out all body imperfections as they're numerous.
    -Has rust, although none in towers or critical areas. Worst is the trunk.
    -Once the car has been warm for some time, I've noticed the temp. gauge bounce sporadically between the 1/4th and 3/4ths mark. However, on an 85 degree day it didn't overheat in 45 minutes of stop and go traffic.
    -Tires have good tread, but are old and should be replaced.
    -No radio.
    -Driver's seat stuck and won't move forward or back (but it does recline).
    -Interior blower only works on 4.
    -lower portion of dash cracked.
    -Front right wheel bearing is rather loud.
    -Horn inoperative.

    I think it's a pretty comprehensive list about the car. It's far from perfect, and it's definitely not for someone who is picky about aesthetics. Fix a few things and have yourself a cheap runner that you can thrash without feeling guilty.

    Price is $2500. Located in Chicago.

        I would also be interested in a trade for an e30 with a clean(er) body and could add money accordingly.

            Not sure I have a cleaner body but I'd be interested in trading my 89 325is
