[QUOTE="kgb, post: 449888, member: 19327"] I highly doubt that its done 100K in all this years. More like 200 or 300. Mine done 460K which does not mean anything, other that it was well used and serviced regularly. Don't trust the odometer. Provided if odometer is correct, stay away from that car, its likely to be all rusted inside, as it was hardly used. e30 320 in reasonable running condition (expect to spend another 3K minimum) will set you back around 15K and more. 9K is a bargain, or semi-literate seller, or problem car. Body no rust is a lie. e30 MUST have rust. At 9K price tag, I'd expect a lot of rust. First maintenance repair, as i mentioned earlier, allocate 3K minimum. Annual maintenance is not much, provided it not done the annal way :stupid: So far, on mine i only change oil, that is all. The rest is running well. Won't say much on 2lt engine, coz using 1.8. Last time i've test driven 2lt engine, i found it underpowered compared to 1.8 Best, you find a friend on this forum, who can join you next time you are having a closer look at the car. If okey, take it to mechanic and put it on the hoist, you should know a lot about that car just by doing that. If you can't get anyone to follow you, let me know if you need help, can pay me with roti chanai :top: [/QUOTE]
