Wow, that's insanity. That car needs way too much body work, the roof, cowl panel and fender repair, and associated paint blend or respray will be a few grand. Back when I bought my car, that rust spot under the windshield and on the roof would have had me walk at 1/8th that price, E30s have come a long way.

there was a fair bit of unimpressive represented there. esm wheels always say not really to me. think he also said he wanted more but kept parts to reduce the price. the whole thing seems a bit fiction.

claims to have sold elsewhere for 21+ private. seller stated would not consider less than 21. think it's a stretch at 17 personally.

Wow if that isn't the definition of a 20 footer I don't know what is,

EV Mtech2 Convertible

I am tempted to jump on that EV cab only because the powertrain needs little to no maintenance (there’s enough things that break on these cars that an EV conversion is warranted). Not a fan of some of the interior changes, but the EV powertrain alone is worth it. Although I can imagine this car easily going past the $20k mark so I’ll be out of the inning

Wow if that isn't the definition of a 20 footer I don't know what is, this one is getting hot fast. I went on a roller coaster from thinking "oh that's cool I I like that" to "no hell way" in the matter of a few pictures. That is a lot of money for a car that needs a fender and windshield channel rust repair right off the bat, if you let that spread it will get bad fast because that is a moisture trap and can leak into the interior. By my judgement windshield channels are one of the worst places to have rust because fixing it requires windshield removal and re-installation and it is not a simple panel to patch. At least floor rust is just a matter of pulling the carpet and welding in a patch panel, and you can easily DIY since nobody will see your welds when you're done

White is the best E30 color though.

car was formerly owned by "Munich Man" on here.
