I bought this car from Canada in late August and drove it daily from November to March. I have all the paperwork including a clean New York title in my name $1900 obo VIN:WBAAE930XJ8139543 The bad: -The paint is in rough shape. All of the body panels that can be unbolted from the car were from a red non-ix and it was not given the best paint job. Its also pretty rusty, but the worst of it has been fixed: [http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101141](http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101141) -No e-brake. at all. But I did spend almost $300 in parts from tischer to put it back together. I have not put the parts on but its all there. -Cluster works randomly. -central locking doesnt work -I think the wiper box is broken or something because the squirter didn’t work with the lever, so I used the cruise switch to make it work (I ran the ground side of the pump through that switch to a keyed ground, pretty easy simple to undo, no cut wires besides the one going to the pump) -cruise and AC have been removed by PO. I have 75% of the parts to put the AC back in. just need the pump and tube that goes on the right strut tower. -this was/is an OBC car, I have the 13 button unit and all the wiring, but I took it out to put the analog clock in -I am not sure of the condition of the locks, they seemed finicky so I don’t use them. But I do have ‘new’ cylinders with keys (including ignition and trunk) to go in eventually -There was this shitty purple tint on when I bought it. I scrapped it off because I couldn’t see at night and I have not gotten to removing the residue yet. -for some reason you don’t have to press the clutch to start -no chrome trim over the doors, -I tried to go through a snow bank and got stuck: lost the front lip and I had my buddy try to push me out with his truck and his plow dented the trunk lid a bit. (the plan was for his plow to push the bumper, not the trunk. fml) -water leak somewhere above, possibly the sun roof area? -holes for license plate lights are basically rusted out The good. -AWD works perfect, passes jack test. I changed the fluid and it was clean. -front axles were rebuilt by me last spring. Inners to axles were clean with no wear. -White with black interior, what is better than that?!? -seats are rip free sans the drivers bolster piping is worn a bit -clutch/tranny are great -It has a thule roof rack. -motor doesn’t burn any oil (its a miracle, I know) -heated seats work well, very well -ddm hid’s. no issues ever. -99.9% crack free dash. Only baby spot is in front of the driver from the vent to the edge (as in its not spreading). I only noticed this when I changed the windshield. -steelies with winter tires, basket weaves with all seasons (no center caps) -hood latch pull was rigged, bought new cable/handle from BMW, yet to be installed -its lowered on ebay coilovers but nothing was cut so stock springs can easily be put in if desired. -all windows and sun roof work. -analog clock -supposedly the motor was rebuilt (its painted green, it appears to have been done outside of the engine bay), but I have no documentation to back it up -front drive shaft showed no signs of wear when changing the TC. -no carpet (it was musty from the rusty/leaky/floor -mini cooper floor mats. They fit surprisingly well. -air bag knee bolster -I have stock springs to go on. Currently it is on ebay coilovers that ride poorly -I also have a new blower motor that works mint -I have lots of random parts too ![http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/9892/e30snow.jpg](http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/9892/e30snow.jpg) ![http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8426/dsc2388m.jpg](http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8426/dsc2388m.jpg) ![http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/576/dsc2371o.jpg](http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/576/dsc2371o.jpg) ![http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6320/dsc2492.jpg](http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6320/dsc2492.jpg) ![http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5474/dsc2348e.jpg](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5474/dsc2348e.jpg) ![http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9982/dsc2328.jpg](http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9982/dsc2328.jpg) here are some ‘regular’ pictures… all taken 1/30 ![http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2614/003ktz.jpg](http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2614/003ktz.jpg) ![http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3987/004yey.jpg](http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3987/004yey.jpg) ![http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7531/001jab.jpg](http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7531/001jab.jpg) ![http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4118/002zca.jpg](http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4118/002zca.jpg) ![http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8545/006luu.jpg](http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8545/006luu.jpg) ![http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4739/007jc.jpg](http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4739/007jc.jpg) ![http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4476/010cqhv.jpg](http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4476/010cqhv.jpg) ![http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/927/009or.jpg](http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/927/009or.jpg) ![http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/5194/008wbs.jpg](http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/5194/008wbs.jpg) ![http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9962/011lus.jpg](http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9962/011lus.jpg) ![http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9384/012lfn.jpg](http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9384/012lfn.jpg) ![http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6265/013ib.jpg](http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6265/013ib.jpg) ![http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3746/015ijy.jpg](http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3746/015ijy.jpg) ![http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6334/014ti.jpg](http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6334/014ti.jpg) ![http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/807/005qjk.jpg](http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/807/005qjk.jpg) if you somehow missed it earlier the price is $1900 obo. Thanks p/s, this is the best car I have ever driven in the snow. ever. I can pass people whenever I want and feel totally safe and comfortable doing so.

Its just the speedo that usually doesn’t work speedo not necessary. i went without a speedometer for 4 years in my s10 and only had one speeding ticket during that timeframe in it(first year without speedo). considering my age and what it was, not too bad of a track record. just get a feel for the rpm and gear and you can have a good sense of mph. ---

You made a ridiculous low ball so I responded accordingly. And yes it’s a little rough but IX’s are kinda rare. It’ll sell eventually, I’m not hurting for cash so I’m not going to give it away. Enjoy your civic. ---

It wasn’t a ridiculous lowball imo. Had you come back with a real counter offer, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. And thank you, I will enjoy the fuck outta my 35+ MPG siqqqvic. ---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ---------- Not to add fuel to the fire but im on a roll and you’re a creep… I bought an Audi 90q that had absolutely no problems or body rot for $500… so im not too far off. Pretty much the same class of car. An awd sedan. For that matter, I bought an Audi 80q for $200! So yeah. An $800 offer for a car that’s in rough shape that doesn’t pass inspection isn’t a ridiculous low ball. ---
