1984 BMW 318i 2-door Coupe

[aquitaniacharbury]

Since 2006 or so, I have owned a 1984 BMW 318 with a (presumably) desirable 2-door, straight (as far as I know), rust-free (as far as I know) body. At some point, the only way the car would start and run would be if I bypassed the fuel pump relay and hot-wired the fuel pump, so I stopped using the car as my personal transportation and I parked it for a while. Recent efforts to get it to start and run well haven't had much success.

The car is right at the point where I don't want to mess with it any more to get it running even though it still has its engine, transmission, fuel injection etc.

It might well be worth more to someone who is looking for a nice E30 body shell due to their own E30 having problems with rust, accident damage or not being the 2-door they always wanted.

The car has a clean, real title (not a salvage title) and has spent all or much of its life in the dry desert climate of northern Nevada.

What's included vs. not is negotiable and so is the price.

I'm in the Reno, NV area but within reason I'm open to delivering it to buyers in northern or Central California (or, with enough motivation, other areas too). I'd basically flat-tow it behind my van.

One of the most confusing for sale ad's I've ever seen.

Ok so I went to the blog site (I'd call it a website but it appears more like a strange blog). I'm not one to throw stones to often, but could you clarify for those of us that English is our first language just what the hell you are selling? Is it a WHOLE car that just doesn't run currently? Is it a PARTS car that you have scrounged parts from and now it's less than complete? Is it a SHELL that is only good for someone to transfer running gear, interior, electronics from a rusted hulk into?
Maybe put down the pipe and try again when sober? I'm considered pretty sharp guy by most, but the add above as well as whatever you attempted to do in the site at that link makes about .05% sense. Plus there are no interior, under hood, etc. pictures. In addition I'm sure that a price must be listed.

-1984 318 2 door in decent quality
-car is having starting problems because of fuel system
-owner has not driven the car for a while
-owner can not get it to start

The car is right at the point where I don't want to mess with it any more to get it running even though it still has its engine, transmission, fuel injection etc.

-owner does not want to spend anymore money trying to fix the car
-car is complete and has all parts

It might well be worth more to someone who is looking for a nice E30 body shell due to their own E30 having problems with rust, accident damage or not being the 2-door they always wanted.

-owner seams to think spending the money to get the m10 started again is not worth anyone ones time, and there for thinks some one should use the car for a swap

The car has a clean, real title (not a salvage title) and has spent all or much of its life in the dry desert climate of northern Nevada.

-clean title
-car has lived in Nevada sins 2006

What's included vs. not is negotiable and so is the price.

-if you want to negotiate a lower price the owner is willing
-owner is willing to sell for less if he gets to keep parts from the car

-owner is willing to delver the car to norther or central CA
-owner is willing to deliver farther away if buyer pays extra
