      But ones a 90 and ones an 89 lol. Looks like someone bought it and decided he didn't want it. Wonder why he is selling so quick.

        It looks like in the last post of that thread you linked a different guy bought it...

        and the Craiglist ad looks like the guy who bought it in July is trying to resell it...

        No?

          Probably thinking he can get more for it than what he paid a few months ago.

              Or because he realized schwarz is such a shitty color. :giggle:

                    No i didn't expect him to save it for me. i could careless that i don't have it.
                    i just think it's kinda... "shady" that he's raising the price so much... in hind sight i thought he was claiming it had h and r shocks and what not done to it. he doesnt even mention the cam, though. i would think thats a very note worthy mod.

                    idk maybe i'm just an idiot.

                      Who's to say that its not worth what he's asking? I bought a car for 2500 once that I probably should have paid about 4500+ for. He bought it at a low/good price and wants to "flip it" essentially which is fine.

                      Happens all the time.

                        I don't see the big deal....maybe he wants to recoup some of the losses?

                        I bought my car several years back for $1,500. Doesn't mean I'll sell it today for that much knowing its worth considerably more.

                          LOL small world. I spoke with that guy this afternoon. Apparently he's selling an E39 (http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/2020305736.html) also and wants CL to decide which of the 2 cars he keeps. He told me he would feel bad driving the E39 in the winter and would prefer to keep the E30. Looks like a pretty nice car, there's not much by way of E30s here in chicago lately.
