WTB in the PNW

[MikeM]

I have cash in hand and I NEED an e30. looking at cars under $4000. I was previously very specific but have opened up to things such as the chrome bumpers. I want a coupe or a convertible, but not 4 doors and it has to be a 5 speed. color doesn't matter. clean title. at least some documentation. looking for something I can have fun with. I prefer a 318is, 318ic, 325i/is/ic, possibly a supereta if there is documentation. I'm open to a lot!! I'll travel around the northwest for the right car. thanks

How soon are you looking to buy? How far above $4k are you willing to go for a 318is?

[MikeM]

i'm looking to buy asap...and i dont know how far i would go for a 318is..that car must be in great shape for it to be over $4k. i kind of want to buy stock or maybe some minor mods so that I can do the rest...but show me what you got, it couldn't hurt.

hahah and to make myself clear, I WANT AN E30 NOW!!!

[abdlock]

have you seen my e30?..Its cheap

[MikeM]

yes I saw your ad on craigslist. It looks like a good deal but I'm not really sure thats what I'm looking for. Im more interested in the late model e30's but i'll keep it in mind. I just created this thread so I want to see what else is out there. thanks

...if things work out, i'll be driving Jim Pasha's old 1987 porsche 944s with the s2 engine and suspension swap friday afternoon. He was a writer in Excellence Magazine..just wondering if anybody has any other offers before I go look at this car.

[MikeM]

so i just got back from going to see the 944 and as soon as i get there i see the car roll up to the driveway with somebody else in it...2 minutes later the owner goes, "sorry guys its sold." this was more than inconvenient as he told me I was the first person to look at the car and i had called him a half hour before i left. the car was sweeet....and the owner was a priiiick.

still looking for a new car, and the e30 is a top choice. basically its whatever clean car i find first between a ti, a 944, or an e30.

bump! any other offers??
