    What is this e30 worth?

    I saw this online yesterday and was thinking about picking it up for a project. I sold my last e30 1.5 years ago and wouldnt mind getting another.

    My concern is with the i head on the 2.7 bottom end. I'm not too knowledgable about this topic so I wanted to know what I should check for if I go take a look at the car. Im not sure if this guy build the car, or the past owner so I figured I should read up on the topic so I dont buy a half done motor build. I know its got some stupid shit done to the car, but I can clean it up easily.

    Here is the ad:

    Model: 325
    Body: 2 Door
    Exterior Color: BronzitBeige
    Interior Color: Beige
    Engine: 2.7L with i heads
    Transmission: 5 Speed
    Mileage: 208,000

    Modifications:
    Rear Spoiler
    Lowering Springs
    Tinted Windows
    Wood Shift Knob
    Body Colored Bumpers
    Tucked In Bumpers

    Blacked Out Trim

    Condition is good, with some minor rust, and dings, that can easily be touched up. Drivetrain runs solid, idles well, all cylinders over 170 psi on compression check. Tires should be replaced.

        Heh, I emailed that guy about some of the aftermarket parts...definitely seems like a deal for the price he's asking.

            No shit...the interior reminds me of the 89 Chevy Suburban 1500 conversion my aunt used to have.

                Interior is definitely horrible, wood shift know and wood trim, what the hell ???
                Seems like it has some decent mods to it but sometime a car that has too much tasteless mods is worse than a stock car.
                I'd give him around $2,000

                It could very well be a Super Eta, many had the late valance with the Diving boards (Which I find a bit weird)

                  It is an SuperEta .

                  Chances are that somebody told that tool that it has a "i" head since its an SuperEta .
                  Very highly doubt somebody stuck a real "i" head on there ...so that means it still has the Eta cam...I'm inclined to think so since it still has the Eta intake and throttle body and AFM .

                  Its a $1200 car at best in my book ....and thats street price .
