_BRS_ 209 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Hey guys, time has come to move on from my current car, im on the hunt for a tidy e30 coupe or touring, but would consider 4 doors as well. Preferences: Facelift, 2.5, lowish kms, rust free and no sunroof. Would also be nice if the seats were Recaros, but not too fussed at this stage. Really just seeing whats out there other than Trademe, have the funds ready, but not in any rush, just waiting for the right one to pop up, never know what might be hiding away. cheers Blair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_BRS_ 209 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 BUMP. Nothing out there? Facelift, 2.5L? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_BRS_ 209 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Bump, still looking/ waiting. Had a look at the Diamond Schwartz Touring in Tauranga over the new year break, but needs too much work for the asking price/ too rough for my liking. Any thing else out there??

Tidy30 38 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Do you mind telling us (me in particular!) what work was needed for the touring? My other e30 dream would be a tidy, murdered out touring so I've been watching. Not that serious about it anymore since its been on sale for soooo long now. Was organizing to go down with a friend to look at it at one stage! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Howard, I think you should be buying a 4x4 as they are the only thing that look cool that are high enough to get up your driveway Edited March 4, 2014 by _Ethrty-Andy_ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tidy30 38 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Howard, I think you should be buying a 4x4 as they are the only thing that look cool that are high enough to get up your driveway My other dream is a mirror-like, ridiculously lifted murdered out 2-door rav4. But really, the touring would need to live out on the street, or live a life resting on a steep slope every night. We live in a relatively safe area, so the only concern about leaving it outside would be battery from the weather. Since that's the case, it would be out on the street. Semi-pipe dreams though! Kinda have the money, def don't have the time! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tidy30 38 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Bit rough, but haven't seen another touring for sale on trademe for 3 months now: https://touch.trademe.co.nz/listing/view/703235996 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_BRS_ 209 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 yeah have had pics sent through a couple of months ago, is very rough, has had a decent hit in the passengers door/ possibly damaged sill too. I found a pic of the same car 2-3 years ago on bimmersport when it was in christchurch and it was in mint condition! So sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
