For sale in Victoria, for $4500. It was on craigslist for a month or two, up to about a month ago. Now I guess he’s trying his luck with facebook. It looks really good, but evidently it’s not a $4500 car. I’ll be in Victoria this weekend, so I don’t think I can resist going to look at it.

Some body rust (little on the bottom of the rockers, bit more on the rear of the left rear fender just under where the bumper starts, and some in the right rear corner below the bumper).

I’ll be looking very carefully for the extent of the rust....I know where these things like to rust, and it can get pretty bad, while still looking this nice.

Interior looks good. What takes you to the island?

Very good, and it’s my favourite e28 interior. The comfort seats really are excellent.
Visiting family, and I’m getting a ride with my parents, which makes bringing a car home dangerously possible

Oh yeah. That is dangerous. If you pick it up, you, Goggles and I should grab drinks!

The M30 engine, 5 speed, LSD, and sport suspension are all nice things to have. The rust though, is a tough call . Price is probably a little high but not much. Old BMWs with a stick have a floor of $2000-2500 even for the most beaten upon; and this isn’t that.

They are, and good e28s usually don’t stay for sale long around here, which makes we wonder what’s putting people off. There must be something making it not worth what he’s asking, otherwise it would’ve sold months ago. I have a feeling the rust is worse than he’s letting on, but we’l see.
