Currently putting miles on a '96 240SX SE. It's going to be FS and am looking for a decently cheap '91 318is or an '89-91 325i/is.

Would consider an early E36 if it was cheap enough. Please be on the look out for me and if you see something, let me know. :)

Get in line...

e30s are automotive hotcakes.

It took me forever to find mine...

Get in line...

I know, I know. Figured I'd put it out there just in case you guys came across something...

offer him $1500, cash...waving $20s in his face. Have him hold it in his hand. He wont say no.

This is tempting...

Is that manual? IF so, please keep it running and well lubed for 2 mths. I need to get a DD bad. My car is at 62k on the odo and I'm not wanting to drive it but one day a week now.

yes it is manual.

EDIT: i do not have it up for sale, but i will be willing to sell. i think i am going to get an e36 but am in no hurry.

I'm curious about that car on autotrader, why is it that people trying to sell a car don't even bother cleaning it up at all? I always see cars that are dirty inside and out, no tire shine on em, no wax, nothin:confused. If you wanna sell a car, wouldn't that be the first thing to do for pics?

I don't get it either, but it's their loss, not mine. :)

And what is it with eople trying to get $3k for an eta? I don't think any eta is worht over $2k unless it is mint, under 100k, and modded, imo.

thanks for sharing your opinion

Any other links/suggestions?

a guy selling an e30 vert near me looks in great condition...this guy sells different bmws periodically, ill stop by and check it out one day and get pics and stuff. im more interested in the E36 he has :)

Go with an E36, you can get em cheap enough these days, and down in the south were I think you are they should be in pretty good exterior condition to begin with. how much are you willing to spend anyway?

4-5k, im still indecisive on selling the e30 or not though. that would decide whether i go for an e36 or not.

what kind of condition e30 or e36 are you looking for? I have helped m,any frinends find nice e30s, theya re out there, you just gotta know where to dig and look. Ebay just had a 1989 325i sold for $4500 and another 1990 sold for $6500!!!!!!!!!! thats pretty much top dollar for the condition for those 2 cars. Check out some of the e30s I have sold in the past. http://groups.msn.com/M3stuff/pictures

Interesting... I never knew any e30 had a tilt steering wheel :confused

1500 dosn't seem too bad if you can get it for that cheap though, tell him you really wanted tilt steering lol

How much for the 240?

How much for the 240?

Not sure yet. Say 5200ish. Would prefer to trade than to get caught up in selling/rebuying. I'm always negotiable though.

Looking for a decent driver. Mechanical condition is far more important to me than cosmetics though I don't want a beat up car either. Does that make sense, or only in my head?

That makes perfect sense. I was looking for the same thing during my e30 hunt...

Thanks. Sometimes I think things as I'm typing them out, read them, and wonder if something may get "lost in translation". :shifty
