What's your guys budget on something like this?

Did you drive it home? $750 seems like a good price. Clean that baby up and take some fresh pics.

ix manual coupes are really rare indeed. especially without rust. that is the fancy version with sport seats. cardinal would have been nice but dove is pretty good. delphin or lachsilber paint? the price you paid is a steal. i would buy 10 of this car at the price you paid even if the xfer cases were bad in every one. assuming it is rust free, it is worth 2k even with a bad transfer case. easily 3k if the all the driveline is in order. i would seriously doubt it is though. check the front axles, front diff(probably ok since you said its drivable) and of course the transfer case. if the car was towed with a standard wrecker, the viscous coupling is guaranteed to be screwed. if it is indeed a one owner car, that could mean that maintenance has been kept up.

if you part this car, i am going fly out to sacramento and kick you square in the nuts. either put some money in and fix what it needs so you can drive it or make a few bucks and sell it whole to a forum member who will appreciate it and give it the love it needs.

good luck with it. don't be a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles by parting it or letting it sit out in the weeds.

everything will be tested tomorrow my bro heard it run and saw it drive onto the auction stage. nothing sure yet..maybe i could dye the interior cardinal......

no, that would look ghey. either fix what you have in grey or find/piece together a complete interior of another color.

as far as lowering the suspension, thats not easy with the front of an ix. standard lowering springs with no other mods will net you less than 2" of travel on the front. ground control has the only kit to do it right. its a bit pricey. 1500.00 if iirc.

Finally some decent responses. $1200? Hah! Rwd e30s in similar condition go for double that. Looks like a crack free dash too. All m20s tick, but a valve adjustment is in order. I'd replace the t belt as well. Check compression. This is very similar to my car. except my interior is cardinal.

2k if the transfercase is shot, 3k if the transfercase is good. 4k+ if you plastic bumper swap it and replace the front seats.

It's an ix so I wouldn't buy it


But for your sake not a penny more than 450

Would you give me 2k with a shot transfer case?

Some pics.. Interior pics when my brother hands me the key..

not thread jacking you, but here is a thread about my 700.00 ix. my son and i just recently put the drive train back together and i licensed it yesterday. just like your car but a 91 with plastic bumpers and it didn't have sport seats. i fixed that problem, though.

there is lots and lots of good info about ix's on e30tech. if you are not a member be sure to join.

Don't slam it like some idiot forum fanboy. Its an iX make it stock, sell it for profit and by an 84 318i that you can 'slam'

I'd lower it on some good suspension and take it to the track.

[E30ruben]

I found plastic bumpers for it same color for 120 with front shocks. I'll get it started tonight and listen to the motor. Maybe take it for a spin :)

[flyboyx]

check out the front axles and do a jack test.

[E30ruben]

"jack test"... I know it to test the xcase but how do I do it

[A Sucked Orange]

Dont fuckin lower an iX.

[E30ruben]

Why not looks pretty clean. That's my friends IX (tires too small) and my current dd that people said I shouldn've parted out cause I paid too much and front end had too much damage.
