    Testing waters: calypso content

    For now I am just seeing what kind of interest this draws. I have two weeks left of school so I don't know what my schedule will be like immediately. This does not mean that you cannot send cash offers my way or any potential trades.

    So I have had this car for almost 5 months and I have discovered two things. The first is that I love e30's, this being my first e30 that i've owned. I have been around more e28's but I definitely want another e30. That said, the second thing I found out is that I do not want a convertible. I want a hardtop e30 that I can effectively make upgrades on. I know some people have done this with convertibles but its just not me. This is an excellent car and it pulls really hard I just want a hardtop version, i love the m20.

    FOR TRADE I'd consider: '91 318is, '91 318i, 325ix (2 or 4 door), and 325i or 325is (2 or 4 door). i'll look at early models if the value is right but I have a sweet spot for late models and their plastic bumpers.
    ****I'd Really Like a 318is*** NO AUTOMATICS!!!! I WANT ANOTHER 5-SPEED!!

    CASH: i'll throw out the number $3,500 because I know its forum policy to post a price. Keep in mind I am in no hurry to sell it at the moment.


    Pro's:
    - Calypso red metallic exterior
    - Black sport interior (front seats are perfect!)
    - 132k miles
    - Clean title
    - 14” basketweaves w/ good tires (the caps are not currently on the car but i - have them.)
    - timing belt @ 120k miles
    - new OEM exhaust system
    - new radiator
    - trunk resealed
    - oil changed @ 129k
    - shadowline @ 130k
    - suede ebrake & shift boots 1/11/11 (Matt-B from r3v)
    - New Battery – 2/5/11
    *I have a rear sway bar from a 325ix that has not yet been installed but I can include that. Its a little bigger than the stock one on the car now.
    **Last owner is a r3v member who kept it in his garage and before him it was a Cali car.

    Cons:
    I'll be perfectly clear, this car is not perfect.
    - There is a small leak at the front corner on the drivers side. I have a car cover that keeps everything dry for now but buying the "seal" kit from bav or somewhere would be beneficial. I was going to do that this summer before I decided to sell.
    - The rear window is foggy
    - There are two tears in the rear bench.
    - Turn signal stalk is bent backwards, still functions perfectly and can easily be swapped out.

    Damn that's tempting. I've been looking for a vert as well. I've got a 325is coupe with 90K on the odometer if you're interested. Paint isn't perfect, and its an auto, but it runs like a top and has lots of recent maintenance. But I don't think its in good enough shape to be a straight across trade, and I don't have the extra cash at the moment. *sigh*

    Good luck with the sale!

        Very odd to see old bus like that lying about as scrap metal. What is the story with that place. Best of luck with sale.

            therefore, their value is much greater.

                        just had a vision!! Maybe its the nice weather maybe not. What if I fix it up this summer?? Like the seals like I had anticipated, new lowered suspension, ejnights skid plate, maybe new wheels, and a hardtop for the winter. I would possibly paint the bumpers black and tuck them so that I could save for euro bumpers and have those powdercoated black!?!? how dope would that be?
