Hey everyone! I'm going next Friday to pick up an e30 and wanted to get some advice from those who have more experience than me with these cars. The car is an 89 coupe in alpine white. I know I should look for rust, and ask when the timing belt has been changed but what else should I look for? hes offering the car a 2k. What I'm planning to do is just fix it up i.e new paint, interior ,ac wheels, basically just have a nice example of an e30. the car runs and drives also.
Here is the exact description of what the owner calls things of concern, this is from his exact post.
The stuff of concern:
Power steering is a little stiff.
Needs minor alignment.
No inside door handle on the passenger side.
Locks are a little weird, but the car does lock and will stay locked.
The coolant gauge doesn't work but there is a custom one built in.
The driver seat is broken and is always in one position.
The dash is split in some spots.
The hood has hood pins so it will stay down.
The hood also doesn't have a prop bar, so I've been using a metal rod to hold it up.
The windshield fluid doesn't work.
The plastic trim is chipped in some areas.
The park brake sensor is messed up, so it goes off and on a lot. Nothing is wrong with park brake as far as i can tell.
Glove compartment door handle is broke so you can't open the glove compartment.
Radio antenna is broke, so the radio has terrible reception, but the radio does have AUX port
