Not the worst car, but that trunk lid needs to be filled or replaced. The wheels are meh, hood is ghey, and the slush box is unfortunate.

Quanz is a good shop though.

[Staszek]

How does this car still have a clean title? I cant imagine its not totaled, I guess they haven't reported it yet.

"pretty severe rear end damage" DAMN RIGHT!

[TeXJ]

If it never goes through insurance then nothing is reported.

[rcsoundn1]

Yea, sucks that a car can get hit like that and still have a clean title. Show why a through PDI is important.

Tastefully modded 994 turbo:

It'd look so much cleaner without that dumb Clubsport decal on the sides.

Also salvage title. Once you get it, good luck selling it.

[Kershaw]

Not for $17k anyway. Based on that neighborhood, it looks like the seller (if he built it) put every cent he had in it.

[Metallated]

Totally with you on those decals...

Not for $17k anyway. Based on that neighborhood, it looks like the seller (if he built it) put every cent he had in it.

I respect his priorities though : )

What say ye R3v??

I have no experience with E21's, but this one seems to have a pretty solid history.

Its right here in my small town, and has just been sitting for a while according to some communication with the owner. Not a fan of seeing it just sitting, and I am looking for another project.

https://flagstaff.craigslist.org/cto/6036896861.html

How much would y'all offer? Going to check this out tomorrow afternoon.

[Kershaw]

I sold my e21 2 years ago with 73k miles, little rust, good paint, complete front end, for $2600.

So... I'd offer that guy no more than $1500. They're also slow as shit.

[MR E30 325is]

Thanks Kershaw.

I have been doing a bit more research into E21's, so I'm going to go with a bold strategy and make a really low offer for it. If he passes on it it won't be upsetting to me.

[Kershaw]

Lower the better, that $1500 would be a gotta have it price. Lol. I really found it uninspiring to drive, it drives like it's archaic but it doesn't have that nostalgia that the 2002 does. I think they look kind of cool though.

a 430 is a much better car from the standpoint of the engine has a timing chain instead of a belt.

with a 360, you need to change the belt every 4 years. the engine needs to be removed from the car to do so. the dealer charges about 25 grand for this service. a reputable ferrari shop will charge north of 15k. you can do it yourself of course, but when you go to sell it without the right records, it will devalue the car because the next buyer won't take your mechanic ability seriously.


a 550 also has a timing belt engine but you can service it without removing the motor. dealer price is probably around 2 grand or so.
