I would give you 4500 for it, hear me out, it has high miles, I know it has been rebuilt, but what about the drveshaft, diff, bearings, shock mounts, subframe mounts, any rust?
I know you will probably give a better desc. but these things are gonna cost to fix and the chassis has alot of miles on it!
Paint and bumpers done though... it is beatiful.

Dude, are you crazy? This car is easily worth $7500.

no rust whatsoever, but I see the concerns. When it comes time to send her of all the bushings and so on will be taken care of thanks for the comments.

[delatlanta1281]

Really? Well silly me.... Like I said... I would give you 4500, crazy or not. That is what I would give... Now if mr325 wants to give you 7500 then sell it to him!

sadly matt doesnt want it. Id love to drive it out to cali and fly back hahahha

[delatlanta1281]

Oh, well I will keep my eyes and ears open for you. I am moving back to Atlanta in a month. Would be an easier drive. Is the diff open or closed?

[Avus E30]

2.93 open not lsd

[delatlanta1281]

:mrgreen: Rock! PM me when you are ready to sell it with a price, I may be in the market by then. And maybe I will be more sane!!! J/K :mrgreen:

[Avus E30]

Will do. Anyone else with input?

I am not sure if you are being sarcastic, but I am curious how you think it would be worth that much. I'm not flaming anyone or bashing the car because it looks great, but like del said, it still needs a fair bit of kit. I thought somewhere in the $5k ballpark would be a fair price.


Either way, good luck on the sale. That color is awesome.

Really hate to see you sell it Justin. What are you talking about replacing it with?

I can certainly vouch for the car's incredible condition. Car got some serious attention while at Korman's Open House event.

[Avus E30]

thanks trevor the most likely replacement will be my fathers volvo 850 turbo

So its an 87 eta 4-door with an "i" powerplant ....but you kept the 2.93 diff ???

Does it accelerate slower that with the old eta engine ?

Also it is unclear if it is a manual or an auto .
I would hope and assume its a manual .


Just curious , thats all .
Its a nice looking 4-door and sounds like you have desireable upgrades .
Good luck with the sale .

Oh BTW , you don't list your awesome 14" chrome hammers . :D

[Avus E30]

Car is a 87 eta body with 90 i power plant and the car is a 5 speed. The rear dif doesnt really affect the acceleration that much. Ask stu Mc as he rode in it and several other guys on here. Its not as quick obviously as the others but somene that can shift can overcome the defecit. The plus on the 2.93 dif is I can get about 35 mpg on the highway doin about 65. and the chrome hammers are the key selling point.
