my new garage queen

[e30pwr]

Well. I've been looking around the Atlanta area for about 3 months and when we went to VA for thanksgiving we also took the time to go looking, just for shits and giggles. To make this short my buddy who sells and buys cars for small dealerships up there makes a call and I get to drive home this car for $1500.

The Bad:
A little bit of rust
hail damage(going to get trunk and hood replaced to minimize the visibility)
Odometer Broken.......I have yet to find a car with a working one:roll:

The Good:
I'm the 3rd owner
It's only got 145k on the odometer and has only been driven another 1k(according to gas consumption)
All OEM and everything works perfectly!

Time for the goodies:

How is that a garage queen? Its in pretty rough shape.

Garage queens are low milage, rarely driven creampuff cars.

Track car?

I say that in the fact that it will be sitting until all is fixed.

+1

My daily beater is in better condition than that.

1500 sounds a bit spendy for a rusty eta with hail damage and a broken odometer.

Hopefully not because it leaks so bad...

thats no friend.

Ouch, i got my 87 with NO rust and 123k miles for 1200, but thats was a bit of a deal.

Welcome to R3V though and im sure it will make a good starter E30 or fixer upper. I have a trunk lid in darn good shape if you want it, i would give it to you if you payed for shipping+$5 but i might not be worth it considering its size and weight.

First thing to do would be to rip those tail lights out, and all the boot lining and find all the rust. I'd be stripping everything really. If there is rust there, it will be in a lot more places as well. $1500 is a bit steep, but if you are handy with doing rust repairs, you should be ok.

That's still not what it means...

What you're calling it is exactly what Jordan described. What it actually is is a car that's going to sit in your garage while you fix it.

One of the best lines I remember here:

Your car is a piece of crap.

It's Ok, most others are too.

Welcome.


---I don't know who said it originally, but it was great. Very fitting for most all welcomes.
