[Pantless Spency]

but this post has me wishing i bought this one D:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/2454077440.html

plastic bumper car with little problems...
i bought mine, metal bumper ETA with a blown HG.
FML.

[urbancynic]

For that price with all that supposedly recent work makes me wonder whats really going on with it...

[Deltron Dirty30]

its automatic. and dont worry about it. I bought a shitty ETA with divingboards for 1400. whenever i see sweet deals on here/craigslist i want to light my self on fire.

[davem]

I paid $4300 for mine.

[woodisgood]

Buy that one too...those wheels are fairly rare..oem style 10, go for ~400. I am waiting for some to pop up for my cabbie.

If he knows it's an e30 then he knows that its undervalued... aka something is going on here.

even at that you could part this car and make 1000...
not to much of a chance of losing money, but your right i wonder what underlies the problems he speaks of....

[mr2peak]

He says it needs suspension, probably needs ball joints, vibration from drive shaft should be the center support bearing, sure there are some other things too. If you have the time it could be worth it. Auto tho.

[woodisgood]

What's the worst it could be? If it has a nice interior and not rusty, it is totally worth 1k.

[TurboJake]

I bought mine for 1k.
It has a lot more rust than that one.
case closed

[Mullet Bullet]

$600 for my dented auto bad engine 1990325i. But I still love it

[Pantless Spency]

seeing this post at first weakened me. made me feel like a dumbass for buying the first e30 i saw for 1k.
but now as i look at it, just inspires me more to make mine clean with plastic bumpers, and maybe buy an 885 head before i rebuild it.... ;)

[BrownBeanE30]

damn i paid 500 for my four door e30 and after that i made it into a 5 speed :)

How's it running so far? No more weird issues?

[mkcman17]
