    That car was in craigslist for a while, I offered him 5K before but he would sell it to me without the wheels. I was iffy with that car because the fact that it's salvaged and major oil leaks turned down the sale for me. Otherwise it's clean and if you ever get rid of that hardtop, I have a buyer for you ready. Enjoy it!

      Owner used to be here.
      Actually I think this car used to live in Oakland, next to my sister's old middle school.
      Used to pass by it almost everyday.
      It has a salvaged title.

        btw, you can swap the clear turn signal lens onto an OEM housing and it will look much better and not have that crystal effect
        So that's what it is? The housing? I was wondering why they looked so...bad.

        I don't think it's dripped a drop so far for me. I looked under it today and there were two tiny drips but they looked old (it was parked where the honda used to leak). It doesn't matter, we'll be fixing a bunch of maintenance stuff anyways, an oil leak won't be an issue (honestly what e30 doesn't leak...). And i know it's a salvage, which turned me off initially, but he had a picture of the damage and it really was just the fender and a little bend on the door. Nothing bad at all but enough to salvage a 'worthless' e30.
        The first car I ever rode in was an e30

            Little update: got it (sorta) inspected today, it needs knew brakes (expected) leaking from the valve cover gasket (also thought that), we should do a brake fluid flush, some suspension bushings need to be replaced, but the good thing is, I knew all of those things so there were no surprises. I watched the guy for 20 minutes trying to get it on the jack, and I didn't know whether to go help or not. I did help him getting it off though...I felt pretty bad and didn't have a single dollar on me to tip him.
