is this a good buy?

Is it running?

[Collin]

You won't see that in california.

I echo what Atomic said, I don't think I'd go higher than $700.

I'm used to PA prices, where if it runs and you can't see through the rust patches it's in pretty good shape.

yup first thing i was thinking of doing but need to do some research before i start or maybe some new suspension. (my first e30 >.< ) here are some pics of it. hope you guys like it as much as i do.

alright so here are some pics of my first e30 i took after i washed the car. hope you guys like it as much as i do.

Looks like you got a good deal, congrats.

Cleaned up very nicely. Now do the timing belt & water pump service! :D

The car is running and was running great when I drove it home an hour away from where I bought it.

Ya I was hoping to get a new water pump and timing belt today and service everything. Oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and all that good stuff.:D

ok so i picked up the car not too long ago. so i'll make a new thread and post it once i get all this dirt off me trying to clean that bad boy up. picked it up for 800 i know its still more than what Atomic had said or ethree but its still under 1k right? =] and about the door problem i mentioned earlier... it fixed itself while i was giving the car a wash o_0

Good you were able to get it cheaper... Cash ALWAYS talks when dealing.

Glad it runs, just get the needed maintenance behind you asap before jumping into the visual mods...

Welcome to the addiction...

an hour drive on a bad WP thats brave. why do you think it has a bad pump?

[Motorsports]

For $800 I think Thats a steal.

[Paukert11]

I was a good deal. Mine was better , 700 and the timing belt was new and hand all new oils and filters!!!! but welcome to our world.

how much is he letting it go for? and how many miles are on the thing? let me start to work up on the funds again ;)

You bought that car on the cheaps I'd say, even if it is a slushbox.

As posted previously, replace the water pump, timing belt and tensioner first thing.
