purchasing question, 89 e30 vert

[amdspitfire]

Needs a new rear trailing arm and a "little bracket for the driveshaft"

I could pick it up for $700.













Now, is the car missing sideskirts? Good deal on the car?

[rede30]

yes good deal, buy it. Is it 5spd? you will have a PM in a few sec.

It's missing a lot of stuff, including the side skirts... and it looks like it needs more than a new trailing arm to fix that rear wheel... talk him/her down on price and part it out?

I thought it was a 5spd but going through my email's I dont see it ever mentioned.

Looking more for a fix-it-up type project not a tear-it-down one.

What else is missing beside side skirts?

[MR 325]

It's an auto. You can see the kickdown cable and dipstick.

Offer $500.

Its not missing side skirts. Its missing the plastic trim under the door and above the rocker.

[rede30]

oh and i dont think its missing a side skirt, just some trim.

[amdspitfire]

Being an e36 guy, anything in that area is a side skirt ;)

I appreciate all the quick input, I sent him an email and will update the sittuation.

Looks like it could be good deal for $500. I would think that that car may need a new rear subframe.

Guys mechanic said its just the trailing arm, i'll make sure to check it out. Hes sitting firm at 650 but might drop to 500.
