This is a high mileage ix that served as reliable daily driver for previous owner for many years, and for the current owner as an around-town car with limited mileage put on the car over the past two years.
The car starts and idles well. The drivetrain is solid. The gearbox and clutch are surprisingly smooth for the age and mileage. The transfer case and VC were in full working condition when purchased, and the car has not been towed or seen other abuse that would lead me to believe it is not fully functional at this time. It had new control arms and bushings when purchased in late 2010.
The Ansa exhaust system sounds great.. I have an e36 m3 with a remus exhaust that people rave about, and I still have trouble deciding which engine sounds better.
The interior of the car is also in good shape, including a crack free dash.

The owner of the car is out of the country, and I am putting it up for sale for him as a friend and member of the e30 community. It is not a turn key car due to the items listed above, and I am selling it as-is. I can provide pictures and more details as requested.
