In case you missed it. Still kind of a journey though...

I've contacted him and we're trying to work something out but I can't seem to afford the car if he swaps it and I don't want an auto.

Send those links my way if you got em! Spending up to 1200 on an NC car and up to 900 out of state.

why would you want a 1k e30 that you will for sure have to dump 4k into?
are you looking for a parts car?

Not really. My first E30 was an 86 325E 5 speed manual with 150k and salvaged title. Traded a $300 mt bike and $300 cash.

Needed lower control arms and I did various "upgrades" that cost me maybe a few hundred in parts because I found deals and did the work myself

LSD from a 635Csi
Perf' chip
Interior from a wrecked 91 325i
Silly trunk spoiler (already had the BBS body kit)
white faceplates (illuminated 3 different colors)
momo steering wheel
sold it with 280k miles for $2600

Friends 325ES on the right




Then I went a little crazy with the BMW emblems
I was young and had nothing better to do

Thanks man, let me know if you have any beaters for sale or pass on the deals if they're on the east coast. Thanks again -josh

Grab that one in Charlottesville, man!

I got me my '91 318i for $1100, and it runs/drives very well. Paint is old, but great interior. Makes some whining at speed from back down 'round the diff and has a leaky rack, but otherwise sweet and smooth, bought from the original owner.

You can do it - and that C'ville car looks like that kind of deal. Oh. Just saw the aoto trans...

I Hate sounding too picky on my budget but when I see auto I can't do it. Thank you though.

Last day of school bump

Cabrio in my area, he's asking $2k
maybe you could talk him down a few bills

I think he has coil overs mounted

Of course you'd have to factor in the cost of travel getting it

If you're serious and can trust him to do a PayPal payment
throw me a few bucks for gas and I'll run out there to check it out
Then you could fly or bus it out there and drive it home

Though I'd wonder how much damage the "fender bender" did to the frame.
Might be worth it so save a few more bills and find something in better condition.

I think I scored a pretty good deal with my 91 Cab
just because I had the cash just at the right time it was listed

Thanks for your response but I think I'd have to lowball him a little much and even if he took my offer I still wouldn't have much to get it here. I just found a nice 325i vert very close to charlotte and even though its a auto idk that I can pass it up
