Should I buy this E30?

[Farbin Kaiber]

$3500 seems fair.

Valence and rockers look sprayed, possible not great quality paint job. Some of the panel gaps look weird, hood to LF fender and LF fender to door namely. Dirty bottle caps with old shitty tires. This car does not seem well cared for to me, and I wouldn't pay $5k

Don't spend a nickel without driving it and getting it inspected first.

$3500 seems fair.

I wouldn't buy an auto/manual swapped car without seeing it and driving it.

I wouldn't buy a car in NE or the rust belt without a seeing it.

If you really are interested grab a friend and ride up to test drive it. Then low ball him on the price just for the fact that he wrote a for sale ad like that. Decent looking car but I'd agree with the $3500 price point if it checks out.

"E30 season is fast approaching and this is the perfect car to get the season started."

Red flag for me - run like hell.

[MR E30 325is]

Avoid that car.

The seller seems like a prick from first glance.

Plus, he lists the condition of the car as 'excellent'. Come the fuck on. Very skeptical of people who do that, especially when damage is evident in the pictures you provided.

Pass on this. Especially due to the sight unseen clause.

really? try to get that around here.. it will usually be shown skidding down a side street with a big dent on the quarter panel.. lol

some are not good salesman... Im one of them too.. but you need somebody to really check it out in person.... remember the red E30 a while ago? guy sounded very nice on the sale.. but he showed the wrong pictures.. haha

Completely agree. Cali prices keep on climbing.

Back to the topic - car looks pretty clean and trust me I looked at some rolling pieces of garbage before I bought my E30. But do try to talk him down and have it inspected if you can.

5000k nope,
1500k-3000k yes, depending on what you find when you inspect&test her

[mjposner]

You can get a mobile inspection for $100
Who did swap, home job or professional.
Who did service, receipts?
Did you get vin and run search?
What about electrics, a/c, odometer, etc.
Oil leaks? Engine pics?

I generally wouldnt go for a sight unseen purchase, but i had good luck the one time I did. Ive only ever bought 1 car sight unseen, it wasn't running, it had spots of rust, and had no battery. That being said, it was a 1400 dollar IX that was dealership maintained since new with all records and had more value in the original and upgraded parts than the price so I knew what I was looking at. Also had a decent for sale thread. Have had it for going on 4 years now and has been great.

Anyway, I agree with most people here, 5k is too much based on the info and the ad seems a little odd which is a red flag. GL though.

[estoguy]

Yeah, agree with the rest... price is too high and the seller is being a douche. Don't buy without checking it out and if he raises any kind of fuss about it, walk.

[hackjack]
