Since i just started working, now i can realize my dream of owning a classic car. Actually i'm more interested in the E30 316 or the 318 due to economy reasons... but...Found one today near my house, its a silver color E30 320 with 5 speed manual. I'm very keen to get it, but since its such an old car and it went through 3 owners and almost 100,000km, probably the service history wont be reliable. I'm meeting up with the owner and to arrange for a test drive.I have a few questions in mind, and I hope you guys out there can guide me, thanks!1. How much do I pay for a E30 320 in reasonable running condition?-The seller offers RM9000, claims the car is working and running daily, body no rust, air cond also cold, no leaking of water during raining, exhaust not belching smoke... is this a good deal?2. What are the common problems in E30 320 and how should i look out for it when i go view and test drive the car?I have no mechanical experience in cars...3. How much budget do I have to set aside for the first maintenance/repair when i get the car?I'm thinking of changing the timing belt, oils, spark plugs and any other consumable to make it reliable...4. How much does the annual maintanence cost for this baby?Sorry for the barrage of questions, thank you all in advance!</p></blockquote><p></p>
