Hi everyone,
So this is my first time posting, and I'm pretty sure this isn't the right forum for this sort of thing but whatever. I've been looking to buy an e30 for a while, but I can't seem to find one that I'm completely comfortable with. The only one that seems suitable is really nice looking but it has 150,000 miles on it according to the owner. It's a 325es and appears to have an engine from an e36 m3. It has a 5 lugs conversion, e46 interior (which I don't like, I'd want to swap back to e30 buckets), and e46 wheels as well which I'm also not crazy about. The $8000 asking price however seems high, but I wanted to know some opinions from people with more experience.
Another thing that I was concerned with is picking it up if I decide I want it. It's not exactly local, but on the other hand it isn't out of the question. I'm on long island and the car is right across the sound, a ferry ride away, in New Haven. I should probably ask him if he could meet somewhere roughly halfway for safety and time reasons, but if I decide to buy the car is he supposed to just get a taxi home or something? That also confuses me.
If anyone has any advice on either two of my issues, I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks!
