WTB Delphin Grey E30 Manual Coupe - $8k budget

[hopefule30owner]

Christmas Eve bump.

Clean vehicle history is a must. Well documented maintenance and low mileage (<150k) is a plus.

First order of business is a 5 lug conversion in preparation for an S62 swap down the road. So I probably won't pay top dollar for your suspension or your 4 lug aftermarket wheels.

WTB Delphin Grey E30 Manual Coupe

This sort of limits you to only one year 1989 as delphin gray is the most common in that year. Then you got to find someone who kept it in stock condition, that even narrows it down more. Then you got to find one that was kept in nice condition possibly garaged, that even narrows it down more. that being said automatics are more common than manual.

Well I think my offer up to $8k is fair even though it's a rarity. I'm not lowballing. And I'd certainly take an automatic as long as the owner understands I value it at least $1k less than an equivalent manual.

And I will take modified cars as long as its within my budget and the car has a well-documented history.

As promised.

As promised.

IMO that's the best exterior/interior combo of any e30. Hope you get some more photos up. Glws! A real prize. If the OP buys this for an engine swap, I'll buy the stock engine to help defer his cost.

[hopefule30owner]

Wow that car is pristine. Probably not the one for me. Outside my budget and even if I could afford it, I'd feel bad butchering it.

I don't want to give the false impression that I'll pay $8k for any Delphin coupe. I'm expecting to pay closer to $4-6k. But I'm willing to go as high as 8 if it's exceptionally well-maintained and documented or has some upgrades I really like.

Actually, Delphin was offered from 1985-1990.

Perhaps he's talking about metallic.

[TrentW]

Delphin is metallic.
