New Here

[mctenold]

Hi I'm Corey.

New here looking for an e30.

Anything I should be watching for? Problems that are common on the e30? Would be my DD and possibly autocross. Will also have to make it through MN winters.

Anyway, glad to be here. Love the e30s.

A few I'm looking at:

Last one has best look, but is a bit pricy. Middle one I wouldn't pay too much for, especially if it is blown head gasket (Definitely under $1000). First one isn't a bad deal, but I personally don't like the look of the car (But seems to be the style you want - AutoX).

Yeah, definitely check trunk, rockers and battery tray for rust. Would be nice if you could jack up and take a peek at the whole undercarriage

There's one in Fargo that is probably the best looking and deal. A 4 hour drive from here: http://fargo.craigslist.org/cto/2570500066.html

If it's a 325 and the timing belt hasn't been done, plan on doing the timing belt.

Meh. I don't like red w/ gold wheels. And that one has some body damage and stock suspension. The Black IS seems to be pretty good service wise (and has record of it) and I love the cardinal red sport seats.

Just clicked the link to view more pics on the first one and that fender is rusted pretty bad. Have you seen any of these in person yet?

Welcome. Watch for our BBQ in October. We are in the western suburbs and it would be a good intro to early BMW and VW scene

What's a good price to offer for that? It seems kinda high. I've yet to look at it too, however. Will be doing so this weekend.
