elias 281 Report post Posted February 11 Wanting to buy an E30. Looking to spend around 7-8k max. prefer something with as little rust as possible, preferably manual. Don’t mind coupe or sedan. Don’t mind mechanical issues etc. Would rather something with mechanical issues than a whole bunch of rust. cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deedub 58 Report post Posted February 11 If someone here doesn't have one for you there is a 320i up for auction on trademe at the moment. Current bid at $1540. Seller reckons 4-5k to get it road worthy (recent quote from their mechanic). But a decent chunk of that will be time. Sounds like you would need to check the rust situation. Interior looks reasonable. Could trans swap to manual. You may have seen it already but figured I'd post in case you haven't. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/320i/listing/5154077551 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deedub 58 Report post Posted February 13 Sadly it looks like seller withdrew the listing. Maybe got cold feet after setting the reserve at $1... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elias 281 Report post Posted Monday at 04:33 AM Happy to buy just a rolling body. Not fussed about engine etc. But must be RUST FREE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
