Should I buy

[Chessmaster]

Ehh... if I was 16 I would buy, only big issue to me is jusy insurance on the salvage title one. Since I turned down my bros project e30m3 for free cause I rather have a running e30 so I can drive around. Yeah, I goofed at 16 I hardly drove that car. I would slowly work on them, just mainly suck with the the salvage title.

I have an e30 with a salvage title, and an e30 without a salvage title. The insurance rate through Geico is the exact same on them.

As a person who has spent too dam much on these cars. the best info is something you wont follow or want. buy a camry. over the next 14 years, when you become my age now, you will be able have a down payment for a house with the money you saved.

But then he'll have to drive a Camry every day. Life is too short for that.

Not everyone wants to own a house, I'm 28 and still have very little interest in buying a house.

OP if cars are something you're interested in then go for it. There is absolute wealth of knowledge and how-to's for these cars and they are relatively cheap to maintain and easy to work on. The gap between finding a neglected E30 and a clean, well maintained one is pretty big anymore. If you can afford it, do it, just be prepared to work on it.

He'll take only 1000 any tips and tricks on haggling?

this is a terrible Idea, I daily drove a corolla for 4 years of my life (16-20) and it was a miserable expirince, I wanted to be dead . WHile it was reliable and never broke . It was Awful Awful Terrible. Wish I could Relive my early teenage driving with an E30. Well I got my first one when i was 18

$1000 is a good price, for TWO Early model Manual cars. id jump on that. Fix one up, part out or sell the other one. Make one good one.

325E's are great for 16 year olds, not enough power to get you in truble

i know it's terrible but as you stated it never broke, that's the best thing for a kid with no money and no income. it sucks to be poor, been there thx to my e30s.

my eta(s) did 130mph and burnouts, both of these can get you in trouble.

I wont disagree with that. I also worked two jobs and went to school so i had some Money.

My ETA also did 130MPH and did Many DOnuts. I probably did more DOnuts in my 325e then I have in any of my e30s;D. But an ETA wont be overpowered and almost get you killed all the time, If I had my S50 E30 when I was 16 Id probably be dead by now.

Cliffnotes: A 325e will be a good first car, youll crash it because your 16. ANd itll probably be broken alot.

Id also Rather be broke and have an E30, then have some money and a farking Corolla. Im not like most people tho.

hahahah i love you

poor and fun or rich and boring
