Price Check & Advice on Rust - 1988 325ix- lots of pics

That is a lot of rust for 4k. That is my opinion. But what I can see he could part the car for a whole lot more if he was looking for money. And it is not a 6 speed. There are not 6 speed ix transmissions. It can be saved but there looks like there will be a lot of work. Nice potential, I like the interior, red interior including carpet, husco arm rest and mtec 2 steering wheel.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy my first E30. I have had 2 E90's, an E39 M5, and my current baby is a 1976 2002 (E10). I am looking for an E30 that I can use for DD in the winter.

I found a car in MA, but it does have some rust. 6speed manual, gray/red. 165,000 miles. I haven't talked to the guy yet, so I don't know what owner he is. Seems like an enthusiast.

Two questions:

1. The price is listed for $4,000. Does that sound about right?
2. What about the rust? I'm willing to drop some money into fixing the rust, but want to make sure it's not too out of hand (based on the limited pictures and your guys' opinions).

Thanks in advance for the help! I've already learned a ton just browsing through the threads here.
