1990 Alpine White vert with Cardinal interior. This thing has to go. I've posted several ads and even put it on Ebay. I cant believe it hasn't sold, so I'm going make the deal much more attractive. Buy it now and re-sell it this summer for a profit. I have too many projects and too little garage. If it doesn't sell this time I will part it out to use on my own projects. It would seem a shame to do that but I am tired of messing with it.

Good.

New seats (s leather)
New top
New tires (Falken 205/17)
New CABs
New battery
New Brakes
New/rebuilt shifter
New carrier bearing
New shocks, springs
17" wheels
New exhaust
New timing belt
A/C conversion
more.........

Everything works as it should. The car runs and drives very well indeed. It certainly can be driven anywhere. Steering, suspension, tranny, clutch are all tight and precise. The body is straight and 100% rust free. It has a few chips but very few dings etc. All panels look to be original. The interior is fantastic! It seems to use no oil and pulls well out to redline.


The bad

-True mileage unknown (second odometer also quit)
-Slow PS rack drip (1 drop every few days)
-17" wheels need spacers to look right (it drives fine, but could look better)
-Rear is moderately noisy (like most of the others out there, meaning it is pretty typical of the e-30 that I have driven)
-one small dash crack by PS side tray
-idles ruff for 20-30 seconds on cold days, then smooths perfectly
-crack in black trim on front bumper
-brake lining light and service light needs to be reset
-computer backlight bulbs need to be replaced

$3400 cash (firm) or track car trades

If I were in your neighborhood, I would take it for your asking price. Unfortunately, I would have to spend $1k to get it back to Texas.

Hmmm... wish it were closer to Spring Break and I could get one of my students to do a road trip for me...

Keep trying!

I cant believe im asking you this....but how many miles would you roughly estimate it having?

The last thing i need is another e30, but this is an exceptionally clean e30 vert and fantastic price. And that interior....wow.

If you can help me figure out how to get it back here to PA, I'm interested in the car.
