Colorado: 1985 325e 5-speed Gazellenbeige - $1300

[iamsam]

This car has a rare factory color (gazellenbeige) which is sort of a light desert tan. One of its previous owners put in some sort of lowering springs in the front, so that is why the front sits lower than the rear. Runs and drives great.

PROS:
Super knobby studded snow tires with nearly 100% tread. These tires are unstoppable in the snow.
Limited slip differential
Tan leather sport seats
Ski-pass rear bench seat
Factory premium sound
This car hasn't ever been in a wreck as far as I can tell, the body is straight and the unibody frame rails appear un-damaged.

CONS:
Needs one passenger side motor mount
One of the front bumper shocks is compressed, the other one needs to be compressed to complete the "bumper tuck"
Blinker stalk broke, so a long screw is in place so you can still use the blinkers.
This car has the normal dings and chips expected in a 27 year old car, don't expect it to be perfect.

Wow, that thing is identical to how my brown e30 came from the factory - 85 325e sedan, in Gazellenbeige. It's actually a pretty cool color.

GLWS!

Wow cool car and great price. Wish you were local, that car would be a great daily beater!!!

thanks guys!

Three local callers so far, but I expect a 100% flake from all of them...

[iamsam]

Yep, flakers, the lot of 'em!!

Had one guy want to trade for some mid '90s Buick Regal (HA!) and another guy simply demanded to know if I was "flipping cars" and then was convinced that I was... not sure what the point was there...


Most solid interest so far has come from an R3V member who will remain un-named... ;)

One dude test drove my car today, and said the car was "too much", and wanted something more reliable. I told him to look for a Honda.

Thanks!

I checked out your site the other day, could be cool if it takes off. Would be nice to have a unified E30 classified website for North America.

If you where closer I would strongly consider this. GL with sale. Definitely a unique color!

bump, am I asking too much? I seem to get a good number of calls from CL, but no one follows through.

[Redfox]

Absolutely beautiful car. GLWS, wish you were local.

Price seems fine and looks good enough...


However, I'd do a quick few things that may be nagging buyers.
1) Fix the front bumper
2) Replace the shift knob
3) Replace the turn stalk

The wiper stalk went bad on my 85 325e and replacing it was super easy and I got it for $10 shipped on R3V. Can't imagine the turn signal one would be that different.

On a scale from 1-chris brown how annoying is it driving on those studded tires?
