PRICE DROP $2,200 OBO; TRADES WELCOME!

For sale is my '92 318i Cabrio, last year of the E30s! The car's located in Deltona, FL (about 20 miles north of Orlando) and is for sale for $2,200 but I'm very open to offers. Feel free to message me with any offer you consider reasonable.

I'm also interested in almost all trades, so feel free to try and work something out http://www.floridagerman.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif.


First, the good:

Clean title and I've owned the car since June 06.
Previous owner had a new top installed at 9x,xxx, unfortunately I lost the paperwork for this when I moved.
PO also had the seats reupholstered in black leather, but I lost this paperwork as well.
Has Mille Miglias that were on it when I bought it (no idea what model or size), and does not come with stockers (Spare is intact, however)
Engine runs smooth, but car has electrical problems (detailed below)
Clutch and transmission shift perfectly.

Despite the rest of the faults the car has, they're mostly minor and plentiful, and most of the big stuff is intact. Now, the bad. Mostly little things but admittedly quite a few:

Odo died at 103k as seen in the pics
Clearcoat is peeling, and there are some spots of oxidation where the paint is exposed. Definitely needs paint.
Two small rust holes in the rear bumper but NO other rust
Windshield has a couple really small cracks. Not a major concern
Dash has three cracks
Shifter and boot are old and somewhat worn
Glovebox latch is broken so it won't close.
Exhaust tip is really rusty
Strut that holds the top hatch open in the back is old and needs to be held open when putting top up or down.
Starter is starting to go- Takes 2 cranks to start her most of the time, sometimes 3

Now the electrical problem...
The car runs perfectly fine and this does NOT affect that
The car has a short or something that causes the battery to drain if it's not cranked every so often. It can go a week sometimes before the battery dies, but it'll go if you let it. I had originally assumed I had left on a light switch or the radio or something similar that was causing this to happen, but after checking everything, I couldn't find anything. I've also assumed it might be the glovebox where there's a light that comes on without a bulb or something, but I'm not sure.
It could also be the alternator, or just some grounded wire or something that causes this to happen. Whatever it is, I just take the pos charge off the battery whenever I'm not driving the car with a wrench I keep in the glovebox, and then hook it up when I need to.


That about does it. I have nothing to hide with this car and I think the price reflects how solid the car is despite all the minor little flaws, and to be honest, none of the minor flaws are a very big deal- they don't affect how the car runs or drives or anything. If anyone has any comments about the problems that they would like to make me aware of, as I've stated everything I know (which is very little- mostly assumptions from having dealt with the problems myself), feel free to PM me.

Again, if interested, PM me or email me at my personal email, azzman@gmail.com.

Thanks for looking, and here are the pics- feel free to request specific photos and I'll try to get them.

Bump for the evening crew

Bumadump my donkadonk.

Pending sale!

Bumping this back up...

Thought it was pending sale. Fell through? :(

ohnoes. good luck.

Thought it was pending sale. Fell through? :(

I really don't know. The buyer said he wanted it, we tried to make arrangements to talk on the phone about shipping and payment details, he called and apparently no one at my home picked up. I called him a few times, and likewise didn't get an answer. I'm going to call him again today, perhaps he just left on vacation, a business trip, or for some other reason. Until I arrange payment details with someone, though, I still need a buyer.

EDIT: this is also a bump.
