is this a good deal? clist ad

[kevmac858]

hey guys, been looking to buy my first e30 for quite some time now and this has reappeared on craigslist when it was up about a month ago. idk if the seller had cold feet or fell through but seriously considering giving him a call. i wanted to know if you all had any thoughts or things i should look out for/ask the seller. thanks for all the help! the car is: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...112387002.html

terrible deal, ill contact the seller first thing in the morning to get him to remove this advertisement...... ;)

Looks good, from what I can see crack in the dash and some on the seat but the ad says 318is but the badge on the back says 323is?

Yea it's a good deal. It hella did reappear, I remember this one when I was looking for my new e30 about 8 months ago. I actually still have his number in my phone lol. Now that I look at it, somethings funky with the valence/is lip. The valence's paint is all fucked up, and it looks like the lip doesn't sit properly. Possible accident and cheap repair? It would be worth looking at, I'm thinking like a flat $3k though.

haha save some e30s for the new guy! you think its a pretty good deal though? the tags look like "is" to be but its not the greatest ass angle for looking at it. are cracks on the dashboard a major problem? or is it just asthetics? and do you think the price is fair aswell? obviously i would want as low as possible but what would be a realistic offer?

yes, it's a good deal. highly doubt he'll take much off asking considering wheels appear to be in good cond. and upwards to $1200-1500 alone.
cracks in dashboard are merely an eye soar, nothing more.
probably won't last.

[Rsully70sev]

I'm betting he just threw that badge on. It's a 318is most likely

Cracks are no big deal if:

A.) You can live with them.

or

B.) This picture doesn't scare you.

[kevmac858]

alright thanks guys. will definitely give him a call in the morning when i have a minute! i can live with a crack judging that it is a 20 year old car but that picture is a tad frightening.....

Why/how are these in the same ball park as the 17" Style 5's? I've never really looked into them.

From what I've read RS's are the biz and highly sought after I'm not sure about the 15's but I know 16's and 17's leave people drooling

[Pantless Spency]

watch this thing have a 2.3 s14 in it and the dude didn't even mention it...
hahahha

Well yea, that's for sure. I have a set of 16's and 17's both flawless, but I wouldn't put them at $1,200-$1,500. Maybe the 17's...

watch this thing have a 2.3 s14 in it and the dude didn't even mention it...
hahahha

Hahaha, that would be dope if it did.

[RUFFLZ]

you right you right, didn't acknowledge the diameter into the price.
they're still worth a pretty penny though

[Rsully70sev]

I see what you did there hahaha.

[Pantless Spency]

bigger diameter doesnt always mean bigger money.
true to 4x100 RS's arent all too common in 15 inchers.
most 15 inch RS's are from Camrys and there a 4x108 pattern IIRC.


had some dude offer me 1800 bucks for my 15 inch RF's because there rarer than a mo fooocka,
but the 17's on the other hand are not as rare and do not go for as much as the 15's, unless there built and refinished to be nice and wide.

those RS's could fetch 1,500 easy in my book, there clean to say the least.
