    WTB late model coupe

    Hi r3v! I've been a member for quite a while and while I love the E30, I haven't spent as much time here as I'd like; I'm hoping to change that soon. After owning many other cars (some of them BMW's, one was even an E30), I've decided to find myself the right E30 for a long-term driver. I'm looking for the following:

    -Late model 89-91 coupe. Preferably in black or white but red, gray, or silver is also ok
    -Manual transmission
    -325i or 325is. Swapped cars are fine too of course (S50/52 would be preferred, but M50/52 is also OK)
    -Prefer black or gray interior

    I'm not looking for a project, more like a car that's 90% complete and can be enjoyed immediately. Budget is up to about $10k, but I'm flexible. I'm located in the Pacific Northwest and I'm willing to ship a car up here or fly-and-drive if it's possible. I check the ads daily here and on Craigslist, but but haven't had much luck so I thought I'd post my own wanted ad and see what comes up.

    Bump because Craigslist has been a bust so far. Would prefer to buy from a r3v member!

      Bumping one more time. I've come close to buying several cars now...a couple were sold before I could get there, and a couple were pulled off the market when the seller decided to keep it.

      Budget is also creeping up...

          I check PDX, Seattle, SFbay, LA, SD, PHX, and LV craigslist ads daily. Several of those bring in the IE ads as well, but I haven't seen anything worth jumping on. Can you give me an example of what you're talking about?

            this is the only one I found, but it isnt standard.
            the other ones I've seen are in nearby counties like you mentioned.

              That one doesn't show up in my searches because it's an automatic.
