That's a bit much but offering people far less than their asking price without even going to look at the vehicle is a classic scumbag of craigslist/offerup move and bound to get you negative reactions. I just leave low offers on read on offerup. If someone has something listed for far too much like an auto E30 that needs a paint job for $7,500 why even bother messaging that person?

Agreed, she has some really interesting things for sale on there, E30, E46, some parts then shitty clothing.

Seller is such a bitch, I offered 5k and she told me to kill myself LOL

13,000km survivor 318i in Australia $39kAUD ($28kUSD)

They started at $60k... not sure where this one will end up - things like the look of the strut tops in the photos & leaking steering rack + rear muffler needing replacing say that maybe sitting for 31 years might not have been too kind & it's the lowly M40 engine? Still, not many M-tech 2 kitted cars this clean around. Museum bound maybe?

I'm looking for an e30 for my bro and came across this..

Seller is such a bitch, I offered 5k and she told me to kill myself LOL

I told here that those are not recaros, just stock sport seats, she then told me the ODO is from another car and the mileage she claims is lower than what the cluster installed says loooool, vinyl seats are fucked, its auto, weird fade on the paint and the dash is cracked...

2012 CHEVY SONIC (no interior!) - $3,000 (Alexandria)

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/d/alexandria-2012-chevy-sonic-no-interior/7216936788.html

2012 Chevrolet Sonic LT 1.8 ***Interior not installed, but available***. 88,000 miles. Manual trans. New Hankook Kynergy tires. Nearly perfect body, paint, and glass. I just clay barred and waxed the whole car. Trailer hitch!

High MPG (40 mpg) commuter. High volume cargo capacity (fits as much cargo as a small pickup truck and more than most SUVs). -or- Great candidate for off-road rally car or SCCA B SPEC track/race car.

History- In 2012, General Motors donated this Chevy Sonic along with a 2012 Chevy Camaro SS to a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. that taught kids to build race cars. In the first month, the car was prepped as a SCCA B SPEC race car. All interior parts were removed for weight savings and speed. All fluids were replaced with redline fluids. Sponsor stickers and racing stripes were put all over the car. Before they ever even put the Sonic on the track for racing, the owners of the non-profit divorced and the husband got this Chevy Sonic. He used it a few times for trips to move his household to Florida and then listed it on Craigslist in Florida. I bought it in 2014 at around 12,000 miles to replace my commuter, a 250,000-mile Hyundai Accent. I removed most of the sponsor stickers and racing stripes. It was getting way too many looks for me!

I used the Sonic to commute on I-10 in Florida until 2018 (70,000 miles), then moved to NOVA and used it for my 15-minute commute daily. It is a pleasure to drive and I baby it, trying to get the best MPG and smooth shifting/clutch work. The clutch feels great.

Maintenance- regular 5000-mile oil changes using Mobil 1 10w30 and AC Delco filter every time. Cabin air filter and engine air filter just changed. Oil changed at 85,000.

***There is a Check Engine Light for one code associated with the thermostat. The thermostats have an electronic heater controlled by the computer and the heating element is bad. I have a new one and will be replacing the thermostat this weekend and flushing and refilling the coolant. I will then delete the code and there are no other codes.

At one time I bought an entire interior from a donor car. So, I have a full interior, but would rather sell it separately. Negotiable.

It has amazing cargo area, great for camping, big dogs (I used to put a large dog bed in the back for two big dogs.) Great for hunting and fishing. Does well on dirt and gravel roads. Rides great in snow and ice. It is much lighter than stock weight of 2600#s. Likely around 2,350# without interior and handles curves and accelerates very well.

NADA value $5,710.00 minus interior = asking price of 3,000 negotiable.

Carfax available for serious buyers.

Sweet Baby Jesus! How bad is the stink inside THIS E30?!?!?! The crack is potent in North Plainfield! $550 might be a more realistic price.

1990 BMW 325i E30 - $6,600 (North Plainfield)

https://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/d/plainfield-1990-bmw-325i-e30/7213549239.html

Price is negotiable
Hello, I am selling my 1990 BMW 325i 5 speed transmission with 195,xxx miles.. I've driven this car daily since March 2017 and now I have decided to part ways with my E30. This car is 100% stock and matching numbers. Since March 2017, I have replaced a few things on the car to keep it maintained. I have replaced the following:
-All belts including Timing Belt
-Radiator and Fan
-Water Pump
-Headlights
-Spark Plugs
-Brakes & Rotors all around (June 2020)

Cons:
-Desperately needs an exterior paint job on verticals on car (Original 30 year old paint)
-Sunroof sometimes doesn't sit right and small drips of water could get in if not careful
-Front side upper and lower tie rods and lower control should be replaced soon
-Rear driver side door doesn't lock when the other doors lock
-Rear driver side window doesn't go down when you press the button (I have the new window motor and old window motor in trunk)
-Fuel indicator is stuck on E. Once I am low on fuel the low gas light works. (Cluster works except fuel indicator. Could be a problem with sending unit)
-Blower Motor has failed. When blower motor was working, I did have working AC and Heat.

Despite cons listed above, this car drives super well and it stands by the Ultimate Driving Experience that BMW states. This car is 30 years old but by no means its not perfect. I simply do not have the time to fix it and keep the beautiful car going further and further. This is a perfect car for someone who wants to keep the E30 tradition and experience going or someone who's looking on making it a project car. Please call me for more information on the car or to meet up to take a look at the car. I am only available on weekends or sometimes during weekdays at night. CASH ONLY.

* Rebuilt front brakes and new pads with rotors. It stops really well!
* Replaced transmission cylinder
** And a lot more i can discuss via phone or in person

A few things i plan to complete in the near future:

1991 BMW 325IX AWD Coupe Alpine White E30 - $7,000

https://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/d/hopewell-1991-bmw-325ix-awd-coupe/7208552663.html

I am open to reasonable trades and offers. This car has a lot of work into it and is definitely not you’re everyday e30. The IX was BMW’s retaliation to Audi’s Quattro. It was the first consumer car BMW ever made with AWD. Last time I checked 91 coupes were sold world wide in 1991.
The car has working A/C and heat.
Heated seats both work.
Power windows and sunroof work.
Fair warning there is a copy of the Sponge Bob Yellow Album stuck in the head unit. Call it a bonus if you’d like.
Car runs strong and handles well.
Parts list is attached below.
Refreshed head
272 cam
Heavy duty rocker arms
Starter
Radiator and all hoses
Water pump
Fuel pressure regulator
Brakes
Head gasket
Thermostat
Fan clutch
All accessory belts
Timing belt and tensioner
Tires
Battery
Fuel pump (less than 500 miles)
Bilstein struts/shocks
H&R springs
CV boots
Sway bar link
Intake boot
Full magnaflow exhaust
M50 17lb injectors (just cleaned less than 500 miles ago)
Steering wheel (1 of 50 from a limited run done by USPL) and quick release
Refurbished gauge cluster (all function)
AC has fresh r134a refrigerant and has been converted from r12 (have a spare compressor if you want a second I can throw it in for another 250)
New wiper blades

What it needs:
I’m pretty sure it could go for some power steering fluid but that isn’t too big of a job and it needs new hoses for the washer fluid nozzles.
The car is 29 so it does have its flaws. Light dings and scrapes are present as well as cracking on the interior. Headliner needs to be reglued in the back.

OK so grammatically not so great. I meant 'proper' in that he took decent pictures and gave the maintenance history.

I know, but I am a pedant, I cannot help myself.
