      ma.jomaa good luck selling the e21. Those 323i's are pretty neat cars.

      VROOMCP I left you a message and sent you an email. I'll look forward to getting in contact with you soon. I really liked your Atlantic Blue 318ti you sold a few years ago. You are definitely the type of owner I am seeking for this car.

          Nice choice for a daily driver. What's the typical mpg for city?

          I much prefer a 325iS but those are reaching 10,000 or more.

          Anyway, good car and GLWS!

            Maruzo I have several 325is' but the 318is handles noticeably better with the lighter more compact engine. One good ride in a 318is would change your perspective greatly. Mixed gas mileage with a lead foot is around 28mpg.

            Bumping this up. New spark plugs, passed pressure test on cooling system, valve cover resealed. This car is rock solid and very sorted.

                I'm thinking about ebay at this point. I usually considered ebay to be a better place to sell collector examples to bring the money they deserve not daily drivers. Thoughts?

                Car passed smog first try yesterday.

                  This is a truly great example and might do well on eBay. In my opinion stock examples of desired manual e30 models like this IS do very well. Heavily modded cars or swaps are much tougher. Easy to list it and put a reserve. Better to do an auction with a reserve than buy it now, IMO.
                  Really like this car. Glws

                    Thanks for the advice. Usually my cars sell pretty quickly and I don't have to seek multiple places to advertise

                            trade for a 2005.5 TDi jetta 5 speed & I will drive it to you from CO. In a commuters market like socal I'm sure it would sell quickly.

                              Eric I sent you a PM. Although I don't need another car to keep, I'll consider it if the value is enough in my favor.

                                Not sure if you're aware of this or not but I recognized ya right away!

                                Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe E30 318is is described as a perfect daily driver. Considering it's closing in on half a million miles, it's certainly had a lot of days-driven under its belt. You'll need to decide if its impressive odometer affects your price-o-meter.
