The time has come for me to part with the beloved e30. I know I'll regret it sooner or later, but I am selling because I am looking to get another all wheel drive vehicle. There is absolutely NO RUST anywhere. The car spent it's life in Socal, owned by an elderly couple, then an older mechanic whom I bought it from. Being a relatively low mileage e30 and owned by older folks, the engine and drivetrain definitely reflect it! The engine pulls extremely strong with no issues, no fluid leakage, gets about 30mpg and sounds amazing. Transmission shifts silky smooth into every gear and the clutch is perfect. The 4.10 diff. makes this thing really move! The heater and ac work great. The suspension upgrades really make this car a blast to drive!! Car is 100% reliable!! All the issues are extremely minor, and I have receipts of all work done. Oil changed every 3k with castrol high mileage synthetic 15w30.
