Sitting in the weeds....

I say do it. After 2 years of driving by an old vw bus (split window) I finally stopped and asked if it was for sale. After about 2 hours and half a case of miller high life later I offered $200 for the bus. He said $250 and get it outta here today. An hour later I was unloading about 200 vaccuums (from the 60's) in my driveway. I had a blast:D

UPDATE! Thanks for the interest everyone! You've really been driving my curiosity (no pun intended). I stopped by to talk to the shop and the kid didn't know much, except that the boss just keeps a shitload of cars on the lot for no apparent reason. He urged me to stop by soon chat about it. I asked him if he knew anything at all, but I don't think he was even aware that there was a BMW back there in the first place.

Dumbass I am, I forgot my camera... But I did check for some more scouting points:
-Keys are in the car (one thing I was worried about... having a car but "oops, I guess we misplaced the keys after the Berlin Wall fell")
-The rest of the front end looks straight! No real visible dents or areas for vicious rust to form.

Pics or ban... I know the drill :)

I waited all day, and I even talked to myself about how this is gonna go.

When you go back to talk to the boss, refer to it as "that car" and not an "E30" or even a "BMW." You're already showing your hand even asking about acquiring it. Don't blow it by screaming "I'm an enthusiast!" at him.

^^ I would have to completly agree with that stament, if he knows your interested in it cause ur into those cars then he'll prolly jack the price up a bit than if it was just someone who wanted a cheap car.

[ubernasty]

i'm stand by my previous post.

tell him you'll take "that pos over there" for 100 cus you just need a few parts
that should work

[TopOfTheLine89]

This sound like fun as long as your willing to put a motor in it. Im guessing BHG and no one wants to work on it or pay to have it fixed.

Get some pics dammit!!

Don't even offer any money.

Do what Scotaku said, and offer to tow it off his property to get it out of his hair.

Then go upwards from there.

If he just wants it gone then you'll be doing him a favor. Immediately offering him money for it will put that dollar sign in his head. Offer him $200 and he'll say $300. Offer him the relief of having to deal with it's disposal and you might just get it for free.

Truth, I called a guy today about an 86 325e Henna. I left a message that went a bit like this...

"Hey, My name is Brandon, I just moved into the area and saw that little sporty orange Benz tudor. Here is my number, I'm just looking for a car to get around in."

I'm hoping to snag it for a song.

[Moto-Mucci]

The space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. Sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don't let me go. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. She said, a triscuit - a biscuit. Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. Ooh, Shelly's out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma's credit. I'm cool. I'm hot. Sock me in the stomach three more times.
