Pictures here are clearly masking a car with subobtimal paint and some body flaws, but that’s fine.

Cold AC, 140k estimated miles (broken odo) and, for shame AUTO.

Guy has it at $2,700. That’s high, but I’m interested in how high we all think that is. I’m looking for a cheap little four-door daily and would love to have another E30.

unfortunately pricing is starting to look more and more like this. especially on the west coast where rust isn’t much of an issue.

a lot of the e30s here in arizona and my native california are at this price with even more flaws.

it’s getting tough to find running e30s (sans eta motors) for less than $3k.

that being said, i’d go as high at $1500 for the bi mmer listed.

I’d pay 2k it’s definitely got a lot of issues. And the sunroof mechanism can be a few hundred bucks worth of parts depending whats broken but is easy to do. Course most people who text me about mine think its overpriced so what do I know.

IMO, too high for  an automatic.

Undoubtedly, I’m just having trouble deciding what is a good price to offer as I look at the rest of the market.

Looks pretty clean. Definitely lower on the pricing tiers because sedan and auto. Probably also location dependent to an extent? Here in the PNW I sold an 89 2 door manual with 300k miles on the body (on a donor engine with unknown miles) for $6.5k. So to me this price sounds pretty good if it runs well.
