The odometer in this car was broken at 140,XXX miles, the actual mileage is closer to 160,XXX. The odometer was replaced with a working one that reads closer to 180,000, but I will include the original odometer with broken gears. I'm looking for $4495 out of the car, I'm open to reasonable offers and I'm not looking for any trades. The only reason I'm selling the car is to fund an S50 swap into my late model E30. This is a very fun and very quick car, and if it wasn't for the new project, I would love to keep this car for a very long time. The car is located in Haverhill, MA and would need to be picked up here. Please PM with interest, or post here.

































ZHP Knob has been removed and replaced with a stock E36 knob.





















Thanks for looking!

The PO did something to it, it's mounted with a bunch of bolts all the way down it. I'm honestly not 100% sure what's going on back there, it's mounted weird.

Bump.

Not a bad looking car, but you'd get a lot more bites if you made the ad easier to read.

Would be a great car as is, or an awesome foundation for someone looking to take it to the next level. I never saw this car in person, but I have seen most of his other ones, all great running examples!

Someone steal this car on eBay - auction ends today.

True, thanks.

Good looking car, I think what accident meant was separate the information. Bullet points are chill as fuck. People want to be able to see mileage figures, price, and major upgrades easily and clearly so they don't have to sift through an essay before they realize it's not for them. And some people just don't have the patience.

Anyways, GLWS. Looks like a nice swap.

Bump. Offers?
