Having just added a 911T to the fleet, I've run out of garage space to store my 1990 e30. So, she's going up for sale. It's an absolute blast to drive and a real throwback experience. I need to take a few more pictures and share some of the recent service documentation, I'll do that ASAP. In the meantime, here's the skinny -

1990
162k miles
$8,995

THE GOOD
Bought from an e30 enthusiast and mechanic who had done a ton of work on it
- Recent fresh oil
- Transmission filter change
- New brakes and rotors
- New Rear muffler
- Changed AC to R134A (Whatever that is)
- Upgraded speakers
- New antennae
- All new drive belts
- Some window switches replaced
- New control arms
- Full front end alignment
- New struts
- New rear shock mounts
- New emblem (very important)
- New front window chrome
- New rear hatch shocks
- Replaced dash with crack free dash
- Installed H4 low beam lights
- New hood strut

Mechanically great runs super smoothly, good power
Original paint
Wheels are in amazing condition
Appears to be zero rust
I have the original cassette player AND brand new continental radio that I couldn't be arsed to fit.

THE BAD
Small rock chip in the windshield
The roof is manual (that may actually be a good thing)
The roof has a slight leak along the front seal. Only an occasional issue in torrential rain when parked. (so I don't let it stand in the rain)
The ABS light is on. Brakes work just fine for a 28 year old.
Has a yacht club sticker in front window......

That's about it. It's a great little e30, that has been looked after very well. It isn't perfect, but it's definitely one of the better examples out there. As I say it's a blast to drive with the top down, reliving those 1990's, maybe listening to Hall and Oates, or not.

Feel free to reach out with questions, or to come see it. It lives in Bronxville, NY.

Thanks so much. Great tip. It's my first e30 so don't really know the community too well.
