Well, my plan was to sell my Jetta Carat and then take that money to buy an E30. I got some great cash offers for my car but when the time came I couldn't part with it. I am thinking I would rather trade into an E30, possibly with cash on top on either side depending on agreed values. Just to be honest I have been offered 5.5k as it sits and 4k without my wheels. For trades I can remove some of the rare parts to bring the value down or I would accept cash to even things out. If I were to trade for a car I would be willing to take one that is listed for sale for less than what I have been offered as long as its a clean E30.
I am not sure how well this trade will go over since I am on a BMW forum trying to trade a VW... But it has been super reliable for me and I have easily 10k into this car. If someone in the PNW region has a clean 2 door E30 but only wants $ I can make a few calls and have the car sold very shortly. I just wanted to toss this out there and see if there is any interest.
Here is the orginal feeler thread I posted on VWVortex to list out details on what I have to offer. Title is clean and clear and in my name.
This is a big feeler to guage interest in the car, but if the right offer comes along I will let it go.

Only current issues other than the small dings and dents on the body is a slight electrical issue with the left side running lights. I think a ground went out because all bulbs are good when the turn signals are on but they dont light up when the running lights come on. I will have that resolved prior to any sale or trade.
