Thanks for the help Cab! I feel dumb now haha. I'm gonna check out the 2 sedans listed (Tampa and Orlando). I'm leaning towards the 325 in Orlando, although the mileage isn't listed for the one in Tampa. Thoughts?

[vinwo]

And there's no contact info for the Orlando ad :(

[squidmaster]

these are gems for FL
there's usually shit or trash, you never see a decent e30 on CL here.

If I had the extra cash I'd pick up that blue one near universal.

get rid of chrome and repaint grills and that 318 is pretty damn nice actually... You know living in FL how many e30 are trashed out,,, cracked dashes, dents everywhere, faded paint, rust, dot-r panels, horrible paint job where nothing was masked off including rubber seals, cracked bumpers, dry rotted rubber, etc etc. that 318 is easily fixable compared to the others if you ask me..... A m20 or m42 is a hell of a lot cheaper than a full interior/paint job.

Those seat covers are worth 4k alone.

Squid I'm leaning towards the Blue one but there's no contact info which seems odd. I clicked the send notice button. Also the red one in tampa the guy said it needs a valve adjustment. I've heard that before...

And Naples I feel you on that. I think this gentleman has some money and just funky taste.

[squidmaster]

yeah well tell him to have the valve adjustment done then you'll talk haha

hopefully you hear back about the blue one! looks like a really good find

[Cabriolet]

Vin, when you get an e30, w/ an M20 engine. do an oil change, valve adjustment, timing belt and water pump. thx me later when you dont need to replace the engine.

look around georgia and Tennessee, lots of e30s cheap as dirt late models too, just hope you have a truck, so you can tow it on a uhaul rental trailer... then put hopefully about 500$ in the engine and be good for a while.

This car was clearly loved. The kind of overprotective, kept in the closet, mommy knows best love.
