What are these cars worth? Noob trying to get into e30 game

I agree with the others buy the IS, thats a pretty good price for an IS at least what I can see from the pics. You will be fine with the resale unless its completely rusted out under the floorboards.

254,xxx isn't to many for an e30?

As long as it's well maintained, there should be relatively no issues.

My last E30 had 340k + on the stock motor and drifted/hooned a ton on closed courses.

Go for the is but check the body for rust. Bring a flashlight. And a jack.

My advice for anyone in the areas where cars rust is to find a non- rusty car. Period. It would be worth the price to ship/drive a car from south of you to get a low rust car. It really is. You will forever be fighting rust if not. It will be on every bolt under the car. Rusty nuts round off way easy. And on top of it all, no one will want to buy a car lfrom you if it is rusty. Mechanical stuff is manageable with a Bently manual.

Shipping a car across the country is much cheaper than fixing rust.
