This looks pretty decent. Thoughts?

Pretty good, if you're into Bronzit. High mileage, but wife's car since 2004....prob babied.

[MrBurgundy]

That's a clean car. Won't be up for long.

That bronzit has up been up for a couple of weeks now, I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet.

I think the bronzit is a great deal judging by the pix. You might look closely at that car if you can stand the color rusty.

I have been texting this guy back and forth actually. (bronzit in PHX)

Car is very clean, though it is having exhaust work done (near the cat, a hole apparently) when the owners mechanic gets back from vacation (week or two). Front seats will also need to be redone due to wear and tear. Unsure of if AC has been upgraded. Doesn't have any of the OEM parts he upgraded.

Not much money was spared when it came to taking care of it, according to the owner.

It's on my short list to replace this sedan that I bought and am not feeling the magic with. But, bronzit is holding me back a bit.

^^ In regards to the Bronzit:

According to a vin check, car was registered in MA until 2000 (127,000 miles worth of driving in MA), and then it was registered in AZ and has been here ever since.

Definitely will be questioning him about potential rust.

Bronzit w/ potential rust....no go

Paint looks good, although not original. Those wheels are questionable. Red flags:

He posted a screenshot of a craigslist posting. Quick flip?
His photos are bad.

Again, if I were selling a car, I'd post better photos.

[MR E30 325is]

Definitely agree.

Not sure why he would post info as pictures though, haven't seen that one before. And I look at a lot of clist ads.

Can you source the panels without looking for a junkyard E30 M3? Replicas?

Looks like you can, OEM too:

$709 for the rear 1/4

79k mile silver over red convertible, manual. Price is reasonable

1987 BMW 325i E30 - $4500

https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/6158783383.html

Excellent project car as it does need some minor work but definitely can be used as a daily driver. Fairly low miles for the age of the car and engine pulls strong. A lot of work done to it including: coilover suspension
New timing belt
Fresh paint job
New fan clutch
As well as regular maintenance. I have all of the receipts from the work done.
Asking $4500 but am willing to work with you.

Not sure how I feel about this car. It's been on/off CL for around 5 months.

I have a feeling that this car has been passed around. The current owner was either too lazy to retype his own ad, or retype the previous owner's ad.

Someone on here could figure this out.
