Has anybody seen this car in person??

[BrooklynMW]

This is my first post in a long time. Been without an e30 for just over a year and kinda itching to get back into one. This little guy seems like a clean starting point, and my favorite setup. (Early model i sedan). Don't really think it's worth $7500, but if the guy is willing to work on price, I would consider flying to Portland to pick it up.

Has anyone seen it in person?

I haven’t. But I wouldn’t spend over 5k. I doubt he will go that low

Typos are such a turnoff... especially at that level.

Seems a bit high for a 4 door auto, but I always think that.

Have not seen it. The Great Northwest is... big...

"Always used 5w30"... runs away fast. It does look like a very tidy example though and you can't beat Cirrus.

Anyone who types "u" instead of "you" in an advert gets a red flag.

I definitely wouldn't spend more than $5k on it. But you might be right, he might not be willing to drop $2500 off asking, unless it sits on CL for a long time, which it has.

Agree on typos! But hey, maybe Engrish ess no furs language. So I'll cut the guy a break there.

I don't mind that it's auto. My last e30 started as auto before I swapped it. I can swap this one, too. And I actually like the paint color, though i would swap out the blue interior for black.

The only other red flag was indeed 5w30, but to each their own.

Anyway, if anyone is nearby and goes to take a look, lemme know!

Haha. Who, me? Or the ad guy?


I agree the price is high. But you got to admit that thing is clean. Compared to some other recent cracksmokers, this guy is not super far off. But I still wouldn’t pay over 5k for it.

It looks like a really clean start to a good build. And can daily while building. I just want to know if it’s as clean in person as in the photos

Speaking of grammar, What’s wrong with this picture?

The second word is there, the third word is their, and the forth word is they're.
