I’ve always had a soft spot for these things. It’s done a few miles but looks reasonably tidy given it’s almost 30 years old. At 185HP it’s not a rocket ship but who cares when it looks this good? The price is probably a little on the high side but nothing else to compare it to locally at the moment. At least it was sold new in NZ, due to the size of our country the majority of cars we see are imported from Japan or the UK so it’s rare to find one like this. I’d love to pick up a 2.5L in the future. Link to auction !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Trade Me is the New Zealand version of eBay/Craigslist. I will aim to post up auctions for any interesting and rare cars that we get in this little corner of the world known as New Zealand.

Amazing car, but what was the guy who bought this new in '86 thinking? I bet he has a fleet of automatic Miatas, GTIs, and M3s in his garage. With that said, the 4G-tronic was incredible for an auto 'box.

needs some evo II wheels! Other than that, it looks super clean and stock

Martin Brundle said the Mercedes-Benz 190 Cosworth has the finest rear-drive chassis in the world."

There's 2 Cossies for sale here in Vancouver, BC. One in better condition than the other. Both for under 10k. I say this price is a bit steep. Should be in clean E30 325is territory.

I think these things are going to start appreciating a lot. Everyone wants an E30 M3 but nobody wants to spend that much money on it. Then people find out about this car and start digging it.
