    91 318is for sale in Pa. $900+ obo

    Please see full listing on m42club.com under the same title.
    a few hints - runs, drives, stops, diamond black, 5sp coupe (obviously)
    could be on the road and inspectible in a weekend.

    OTHER AD TEXT
    running, driving, stopping 1991 318is for sale in Westmoreland co. Pa (60 miles east of Pittsburgh)
    diamond black
    180k
    good project or track car, or could be a dd with a little effort.
    I know very little about the car. I bought it for the interior and potential modification plans, but am moving on. I have only driven the car about 50 miles.

    The good:
    runs, drives, stops.
    rust seems minimal (especially for the salt belt) imho no metal will need to replaced. battery well previously boxed in.
    pretty smooth idle
    timing gears sound quiet - i have not looked.
    factory black weaves with polished lips. even if repainted silver the polished lips are nice.
    it is 900$

    The bad:
    old putty from 1996 accident cracking - see interior view of old spot welds
    front pass strut is stuck extended (how, i do not know...)
    narrow hit in rear has put a kink in trunk - see pic
    interior is out - I will include a full tan sport interior (except carpet) in boxes (not installed) for an additional $200
    dont know much about the history or maintenance.

    yes you could drive this. fluids were all checked. the stuck strut makes it funky, but not as bad as you would think...

    please dont make me send this out to the CL hoards... it is such a hassle....

    only way you are going to get any bites here is buy posting pictures and information

    no one wants to dig and search for the car you posted on another site. just copy the text from your other thread to here

        Looks like track car material. Maybe for 700$ a cheap weekend racer.

            all pms responded to.
            chis, thanks for the link. my pic skills suck. As far as too far gone... the fenders and floors are solid and it starts, idles, runs, drives and stops, something that in Pa salt is not a given. I agree that this is not a good candidate for a full resto (that is why the po decided not to put a $2500 cage, custom interior, and sXX swap into it,) but there are not too many 5sp, plastic bumpered, coupes that get 30mpg available for $1000. Maybe it is too far gone for your purposes/style , but possibly someone here in central Pa where m42 powered cars are more rare might be interested.
            also note that the interior was removed carefully so that another could be reinstalled.
            schnitz is $700 an offer or just your 2cents?
