holy shit that is clean as hell. I want something with AC and power windows. I could live without the windows, but AC is a must. I have a feeling that sourcing the parts needed to make this AC work would be $$$.

but wow. I think I would drive back from TX for a clean car.

I went and looked at the $500 one from CL. it was fucking beat. wrecked & “fixed” in atleast two places that I easily found, trim panels were held on by hex screws, it had a 6’ section of flexible exhaust pipe on it, it looked like the paint job was brushed on, etc etc.

It was the first e30 that I saw besides newmans and I definitely want one. but I think I have bmw tastes on a honda budget so it might not happen

i wish you the best of luck. honestly, a stock roadworthy 325e or a honda of some sort are the only sub-$1000 cars i think i would trust to drive that far. i would be hard pressed to be paid to drive somethign that wasnt mine that far, but really more power to him if he agrees… dudes got some balls

sorry if that post ruined your chances

true, I wouldnt expect him to drive it.

but $500 for car, $100 to ultradriver, $600 for shipping = $1200. seems like a deal for a worst case scenario clean shell.

hell, i would even give him $30 or whatever to go check it out and tell me its not worth it.

the ac doesnt have to work, but it has to be able to get going relatively easily. lol

I am thinking that one in houston might be the winner…
