ducatiss 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 I think given the work done on this, this is a realistic price much better than some of the bullshit prices I have seen for E30's on trade-me lately. One question - what does it go like with the 320 engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah I'm trying to be realistic with price as i said full reciepts for all parts If it dosn't go im quite happy to keep it untill the right person comes along. It goes pretty well, about as well as any 2.0 Car should but to be honest it could use a bit more power. But with the manual gearbox it drives well revs smoothly. but its no M20B25 With auto box it did 0-100 in about 12 seconds so it should be a lot better with the manual but i have not tried Oh Box is a Getrag 260 aslo.

stephenvlok 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 i will give you 2500 cash as soon as you want it if your interested? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted October 30, 2007 Hi Thanks for the interest but $2500 is just not enough I realise my inital price is fairly high but money has been spent and for $2500 i would struggle to find another car that was in good nick with a service history. However if somebody feels like making a significantly better offer they are welcome I am in no rush for a sale, but for the right price somebody will get a good E30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

far4ngn 14 Report post Posted November 12, 2007 Jimmy How much other service history do you have with the car and it is a NZ new or an import? Cheers Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Jap Import Don't have any other service history from before i bought the car. Was a trade in from a car dealer friend of mine but i was told a fairly fussy lady drove it. certianly i may not have much service history from its past but the way in rides and drives is a good indication that the car was always looked after. It would appear to me the shocks and steering rack were done before i bought the car but as i say i do not have any real proof of this. All major service work has been done recently ie anything that normally goes wrong with these cars ( see above ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
