ft: mb 2.3-16v cosworth, 5spd, 180k, semi project

[mr. winkie]

Well, I bought this car on impulse when I couldn't find the right e30. Dumb. It's a fun car and a relatively "easy" project although I do drive this car regularly. The previous owner painted this car white at maaco therefore there is some flaking.....half the rear passenger door to be exact. Car also sat in the backyard for a year or so, so the dash is cracked and the front strut is leaking. Engine is strong but needs a tune up and some vacuum hoses. Drivers seat has a rip that can be fixed. This car has the dogleg first gear and is very strong. It's a perfect project car, but I'm not in the position to do what I want. Ideally, I want a fairly clean e30, late model preferred, coupe and 5spd. I'm hoping there's some love for these cars here. Pics up later.

I almost picked one of these up two weeks ago, 4000 for one with 160k miles and in pretty decent shape... The bank wouldn't approve me though =(

Beautiful cars, glws

[mr. winkie]

That's a great deal! Generally, these modded and clean can sell in upwards of $13k. Sorry you didn't get approved though.....You could've parted it for more lol

Yea i know, it was pretty much flawless, it could have used a respray, but the seats, the exterior, motor, basically everything was in really really good shape. I'm only 20 and have no credit or cosigner but oh well haha.

I'm almost 30 and still have poor credit lol.

I'm just starting out, but last year i was living with a friend and his mother and that skank found my Social Security card in my room and put all kinds of bills and shit in my name so my credit is shot, it's been 8 months and the fraud charges still haven't gone through or anything.

[mr. winkie]

Ouch. Best of luck with that!

For everyone else, I'll be happy to make a good cash deal!

I was wondering where this car ended up.. spoke with "Coach" on the phone a couple times last year, but ended up selling the 16v I had at the time, and decided against another then. Guess the clutch slave has been replaced?

[mr. winkie]

Yup, all that has been done. Shifts great now

Appreciate the offer, but a little off on values. Thank you though.

[mr. winkie]

A couple of potential deals in the works, but nothing solid yet. :)
