          I would say that 5.9k is a little high. Its got an auto trans, comfort seats (in what i assume is bad condition due to the covers), stock suspension (probably a lot of worn out rubber), and some body issues. However, are you planning on building a garage queen or winning a bunch of car shows? If not, I wouldn't care about the body that much. You can learn to fix it later.

          It does have a 13 button OBC, cruise control, black door panels, clean carpet, basket weaves, late model is, front fogs, maplight mirror, and an engine that you said runs strong. I've got a '91 325i with about 235k miles on it and it'll keep up with any NA m20 out there.

          So the bottom line, if you can get it for under 5k and are happy with the price, it's probably worth it. You have to decide how much you want an e30 and how much your time waiting is worth. The longer you wait, the cheaper it'll have to be. Plus, prices are retardedly high right now and are only going up.

            3k car, way to expensive for auto, probably torn seats, 220k, multiple body defects, yea, um I got a nearly mint one this summer that was actually manual and well taken care of for under 5, and it wasnt "an old lady who didnt know what she had".

              My buddy got a Late model iS auto for $1200. You can find em just gotta keep searching.... Hell I got my 90 sedan 5 speed for $2k and I feel like I overpaid.

              It's that California E30 tax....

                $2.5k tops. Auto, with high miles. Gonna need a full suspension refresh, etc. That car will cost you a lot more money than the purchase price fyi
                Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                  2.5k tops, if you pay any more than that you are contributing to the price gouging of the E30 community!

                    The price should be between 2.5K-3.5K tops but you are in Cali where there is a 2k price increase on everything just to live.
