    E30 M3 - No Affiliation - Northern Virginia

    Just saw this craigslist ad for a clean-looking E30 M3. Seller is asking $15k.

    I have never seen this car and do not know who the seller is but the ad is really intriguing. If I had money for this kind of toy, I'd definitely go check it out. There are several pictures on the ad.

      I guess I should have read the ad more closely... I was too busy drooling at the pictures.

          You obviously havent been paying attention to e30 m3 sales recently. If this had a good engine it could be listed at 25k or more. When you consider catuned is selling a pretty much BRAND NEW s14 for 9k, it doesnt seem like that bad of a deal.
          Current:
          1989 325i
          1988 M3
          1987 325ic
          Past:
          2001 330ci

            This is nowhere near a deal.
            Needs seats and motor + maintenance that a 160k mile car needs.
            Lets say about 3k for full suspension+bushings+radiator+Rotors and Pads etc
            9k for a motor
            1.2k for reupholstered seats.

            Still a deal at 30k?

            I've seen m3's with blown motors go from 6-12k which is far more fair.

              How does one know whether a rod bearing is spun? The ad says "a rod bearing is starting to make noise"--is that just car sales happy fun talk for it is fuxored?

                  Common issue on S14's and easily fixed as long as they are not toast. Have done one set on red M3 next year I will be doing the white M3.

                  A core S14 these days is 2000 and it needs to be USEABLE. So for a car that that needs a rod bearings and a seat to be 15K is possible. Rollers are now in the 8-10K range. Depending on what is included.

                  That also being said there have been Numerous new cars that have appeared on the radar. Fow awhile it was thought that the number of US cars was down into the 3500 range out of the 5300 cars. I'd say that number is higher. Probably closer to 4100-4300 range.
