WTB/WTT: want cheap (<$3k) slush box for beginning driver…

[DrewZ]

Looking for a cheap 3er (E30/E36/E46) hardtop (NO 'verts) with auto trans. Looking for something with under 200k miles within 300 miles of Cranford, Nj 07016:

Would consider buying outright, and also have the following for trade (with approx cash-buy values):
1992 325iC 5-speed 51k miles ~$10k
2008 Mazda5 5-speed(!) 82k miles ~$9k
2001 740i Sport auto 166k miles ~$5k

PM me for trade details and maintenance histories.

I've got a 1991 325IX that's got an auto that's nearly dead. Replace the auto trans and the car is good to go. All receipts to day one, 238k miles, but timing belt, water pump, thermostat, heater core, plugs, wires, etc were all done in the last 10k miles. Will need a muffler also.

Car is located in New Brunswick NJ. With a few repairs you've got a decent car, PM me if interested.
