    Thinking about selling my e30

    So I didn't have my e30 for a couple months because I was letting my brother borrow it and now that I have it back I'm not feeling it anymore.

    I made some mistakes like going too soft on the suspension and in my field of work doing something like a swap is not something I have time to take on.

    Also my E90 has really grown on me and I got new tires for it and it really transformed the car

    Also the E30's A/C is broken again and never worked acceptable imo I have replaced compressor paralell flow condenser etc and never been happy not to mention it robs like 30hp

    The only thing I can justify it for as of right now is a backup car but is not really needed

    I drive a work truck home everyday so I only drive my cars on weekends mostly I drive maybe 5k a year if that

    Id like to sell it use the money to pay off our suburban and start saving for a house

    Im not going to shoot for the moon I bought it for 3k and put a ton of work right now I feel like letting it go between 3500-4000

      You have a nice car that's a desirable model and desirable year.
      Just keep it for a while, let it sit. Step back and come back to it on a day you're not tired from work or sweating under the sun and take it for a drive - your feels will let you know what to do.
      The big-boy decision to sell to pay off your family car and save for a house is understandable, but I don't know what $3k in AZ like so I can't comment.

          You probably have to sell it in state because of that salvaged title

          Anyone that tries to reregister that car is going to have to jump through so many hoops set by the dmv
          I brought a salvaged title back to Colorado from Virginia and after a year and a half I just of failing (I could never contact the owner that repaired the car and I HAD to have the original proof) gave up and parted it and scrapped it

          All that said you have a very clean and we'll maintained car glws

            OP, how much were your seats to get re-done?
            did they replace the leather and cushions?

            thanks
            If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!
