Leather was the extra, clothe came standard with sports. Nice, couldn't see myself spending that amount on an ETA like that because if you bought it for investment all you can do with it is roll it back in the garage or disconnect the odo.

It's impeccable but M's are climbing alot higher than that. Heck rollers are in the 10K plus range now.

damn. well I personally prefer cloth over leather.
leather burns mah brown buns in the cali heat

i love my cloth seats i wish, i had them in that shade though

[reelizmpro]

bottom of the line wut.
that cloth isn't exactly a dime a dozen..

Considering US cars were loaded with options, most cars came with vinyl/leather which makes the cloth somewhat rare. Many have worn out or have been swapped out by now too. Kind of like Cardinal interior, people used to give them away. Because of this, nice cloth or cardinal seats are now "rare." There's a reason some things are rare but if you like the checkered/houndstooth cloth or cardinal, that's cool. I don't think the covers are NLA yet.

There's two different zinno e's for sale in my neck of the woods, both are automatics. No takers on either one. One is a single-owner car and clearly well cared for. I passed on it because I thought it was "too nice" to mod or do a 5spd swap to. The other one is also a one-owner, but is sitting at a dealer's lot. The are both in the 100-150K miles range, not 29K.

I'm not up on cover status but I have found yardage of that cloth to be readily available in Europe.

If it were an iS in similar condition and you weren't poor, I would say worth it. I couldn't pay that much for a car with diving boards or a 2.7.

That's it. I'm painting my car henna and putting diving boards on it .

There's a member here that has a pristine Alpineweiss 87 325is with no mods and has less than 30K miles on it. He's had it for sale a few times and most balk at it. Guess the time is right.

I would say that a super low mileage E30 would be a lot more fun to drive than a comparable costing new car, ie a Kia Rio or a Hyundai ?

A new e30 would, but even with low milage, bushings dry out, dampers start to fade, springs even start to loose their tension. A completely refreshed low milage E30 would be more fun for most of the users of this site.

I am in no place to pay $16k for a 20 year old car (No warantee) but I won't question those that are.
