Details:
  • I am only the 2nd owner. Original owner put 76K miles on it.
  • It currently has 85K miles on it. I have owned the car about 1.5 years.
  • All maintenance done by dealer for the P.O. Fully-stamped maintenance book, including timing belt at 64K.
  • I have kept-up on regular maintenance with new: water pump, fan clutch, belts, plugs, distributor cap and rotor, valve cover gasket, etc. as needed Have all receipts.
  • Only mods are wheels, tires, and Vogtland Spring + Konis. Have original wheels with good rubber and original springs & struts. Oh, and a 6-disc CD changer I added that is routed through the stock head unit.
  • The car was repainted professionally and cleared at some point in its life. Really hard to tell it was a repaint, as there is no overspray and all trim was obviously removed. Glossy and clearcoated, looks very nice.
  • Perfect interior on all accounts. No rips or tears on the bolster or anywhere else. Period.

Minor stuff:
  • Very, very small amount of surface rust around the windshield header. My guess is that the windshield was replaced and not properly sealed-up by the P.O., a common mistake. It was there when I bought the car and has not spread. You have to know where to look for it.
  • Flexing agent was apparently not used on the front airdam paint. The paint has cracked and come off in a few places.
  • Driver's side front fender looks to have been replaced/repainted at some point in its life. Didn't notice it when I bought the car as the VIN sticker was in place, but when I claybarred the car I notcied the paint wasn't perfect with some minor cracking. I am a perfectionist, so if I were keeping the car I would probably respray that one fender when I repainted the airdam with the flex agent. Nobody has ever said anything about it, so it's not like it's a "must" do for the new owner.
  • A few scratches, but you have to know where to look.
  • New brakes (15K miles ago), but intermittent wear sensors. Again, very common.
  • One cracked fog light. Also like that when I purchased the car.

The car needs no apologies and frequently gets compliments from enthusiasts. I looked for a long time before I found an "is" that met my standards.






Price is $6500 with stock wheels and new rubber. I also have the last set of OEM e30 M-tech stripes that were left in inventory and I had them shipped from Germany. Planned to put them on once the airdam/fender were painted... we can talk about them.

The Compomotives pictured above with nearly new Toyo T1-s are negotiable seperately.

Located in Columbus, Ohio. Will accomodate additional pictures, a PPI, and reasonable delivery for any serious buyer.

$6500? Dudew thats overkill by a couple thousand. Listen to the veterans on this forum. If you want to sell it you have to compete, and with a car almost 2 decaudes old you have to be realistic.

Is this a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder??? And what kind of mpg does it get???

thanks
Cap'n
"87is = 6cyl - 2.5L
I think the original sticker said 18-22mpg(?). Mine gets around 19.7-21.9mpg around the Columbus area taking it on rt 270 for 20min trips once or twice a week.


B3nd3r - How much are you talking for the wheels and what dimensions?
