WTB: E30 (socal)

[jaywood]

What's up guys...noob from the 805 (Santa Barbara)

Been a lurker here for a while and have always loved e30s. Just made an account the other day so this is one of my firsts posts!

I'm looking to buy an e30. 2 door preferably, but I will think about 4 door as well. As long as it is mechanically well then show me what you got!

But really, minor things aren't going to scare me away. If it needs a complete engine swap/rebuild, or tranny swap, then I'm going to have to say no, but thanks. If it needs a new fog light, yes, that is ok:D

I am looking to spend somewhere around the 4k region. But shoot me with what you have!

Ohh yeah, 5 speed manual is a must....

Thanks guys!

This is all off the top of my head since it's my friend's car, so I might be forgetting stuff.

Other than what I mentioned, absolutely nothing wrong with the car. Engine idles nicely and pulls hard without ever giving a hiccup. Reason for sale is to finance a new truck.

This is the only pic I have of it right now.

For the keys in your pocket, he's looking for 5k, but I'm sure you two can talk.

[jaywood]

Damn! What a beauty.

He's selling? Does he have an email or phone number you can PM me? I'm very interested

I have a freshly painted 90 325i 5 speed coupe with nice M/vert sport seats, crack free dash and lots of brand new stuff like tires, windshield, keyless entry, and has absolutely no oil leaks! Looking for $4,500. PM me if any interest.

[jaywood]

Still looking, anyone?

[Kato]

Check my link below for a rare, Mtech2 Vert. I can leave auto or do manual but that will cost a few more buckaroos... LMK if interested.

[jaywood]

Thanks Kato, but I'm not looking for a convertible.

Anyone have anything in Santa Barbara?

[Kato]

No problemo.

Hit up 'castros' which is an e30 shop in North Hollywood (he's on the forums). I saw a black 4 door that had been completely gone through there last night that he is about to put up for sale. It would be very well tended to and had everything addressed that we needed. I think that he was going to sell for around $4K depending on what's on it and what all he winds up doing to it. Tell him I sent ya...

You can call him at: 818 310 2497

[ak-]

So what happened with you and Nick?

[jaywood]

My budget got all screwed up and I didn't have the 5k anymore, so I'm looking for something a little cheaper.

Does he have any coupes for sale, Kato?

I'm sure he's negotiable. But alright!

[jaywood]

Yeah, I got him down a little. But I want more of a project car, if you get me.
