Updated 2/7/19
Parts ? or fix up project? 

Put it on for $1000 ono but offered it to someone for $700 so lets cut to the chase. $700 flat take it or leave it, no under offers. 

Positives:
Newish front tyres 5+ mm tread
New drive shaft guibo + control arm 
Fold down rear seats
Drives well aside from mentioned issues, good runabout owned since end of 2017 
Good looking car for price range
Replaced Coolant, pulled waterpump out to check it and replaced it with a metal impeller one in good condition, replaced brittle plastic cooling hose, checked thermostat and several other preventative maintenance things such as clearing leaves and dirt out of windscreen gutter so the ecu is not at risk of flooding (common issue). 

Negatives:
Small leak from windows in heavy rain. 
Standard e36 interior, roof lining is stapled up and fabric on doors is loose
Slow leak in radiator heaps of replacements at pick a part for $68 (has not overheated!). Leaves a 10cm sized puddle when parked up. 
Sometimes on cold start needs a couple of revs or to be put in gear to maintain idle.  Might be idle control valve $18 at pick a part. 
No wof rego on hold, needs RH inner tie rod end (quoted $200), one or two rear tyres, When I got new front tyres they were $100 each. Power steering is leaking. 

Purchased this so I had a car to drive around while I work on the E30, in the meantime have purchased a van. Don't have the time or space for 3 vehicles. Selling 'as is where is'.

Rego expired but rego is cheap as now will be about $50 to bring it up to date. 

It's interesting that people still say things like this.

Rego becomes the new owners responsibility from the date of the ownership change going through. The invoice for money owing for the expired period up until date of ownership change will be sent to the previous owner.

Just FYI.

 

GLWS, I'd probably consider purchasing this if I had room.

Wasn't aware I would be sent the bill up until the ownership change date, not that it makes much difference as rego is pretty cheap now. It's something that is in the buyers favour then as they will only have to pay from the ownership change date? I can't pay rego at the moment as to pay rego it needs a current wof.

Put it on hold - you'll have to pay up to the hold date, or to the change of ownership date anyway.

 

You can do it free online.

I'm content with four e36s for the time being

Going away soon so no longer available at the moment. Will probably be up for sale again in a month or so.

Home again so car is available to purchase. Took it for a drive today. Ran fine. Going to put rego on hold too so new owner just has to pay from change of ownership date.

Edit: Rego now on hold
