    WTB: E30 in Cincinnati/Mason, OH Area

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to purchase an E30 in the Cincinnati area, not too far outside of there. I scour Craiglist but E30s are few and far between, so I thought I would put a thread on here.

    I'm looking for a 325, i or is. Coupes and sedans will both be considered. Looking in a range under $3k, I want something running or something that won't take too much to run.

    Thanks for looking! PM or post in the thread, it's up to you.

    Hey,

    I'm in middletown. I've been looking for a few months with not much luck. I've found a few that are 300+ miles away but never worth the drive due to price or condition. Of course, I'm limiting myself to a '91 318i or iS....so you may find more options. Good luck!

      Hey fellow-midwesterners!

      I've been looking for 6 months and have only found mistreated, rust-ridden, super high-mileage examples. I'd love to find a car even remotely locally, but I've come to the realization I'm better off looking in places like Los Angeles, Atlanta, the Carolinas, etc. Distance obviously makes this a bit more difficult, but selection and condition appear to be a whole lot better.

        If you have some $$$ to spend, there is a red '91 318iS on the Detroit craigslist for around $5k with 82k miles on it. Looks to be in excellent shape. I just don't have that much to burn on a daily driver / project.

        Go out to searchtempest.com and look within a 500 mile radius. There are probably more E30s out there rather than E30 318i's...

          I live in Richmond VA but would be willing to make the drive to the Cincy area (I'm originally from there) for this trade. I love my E30 but I'm looking for a Jeep!

            Will you sell that rather than trade? That is exactly what I'm looking for....

                        Im in Ann Arbor MI guys and have been looking as well, I have decided that my best bang for buck will be to go south where rust hasn't been so cruel and overall condition/price is better.
