The bible

Not gone religious, you know the bible I'm talking about. Just bought it and started reading it. Seems very good. Was it written by a Zoner?

Re: Is this a good price?

Funny enough it was the interior taht drew me to it, it just looks so flawless. Not attractive, though and the more I look at it, it looks like a not particularly nice retrim

Is this a good price?

I'm still quite new to E30s, with prices that seem to vary from £500 to £5000. This one just at little anomalous

The interior on that is stunning. I don't know much about these yet, but £1200 seems like a phenomenal price

Ehh Carone!

Unless you're thinking of hydraulics, a chain steering wheel, changing your name to Sanchez and moving to South Central LA, then no. If yes, then knock yourself out... err blood!

Re: Insurance quote

@Parabola. Never use go compare. They have to make money somehow dont they :P Maybe use it for an idea, then go get quotes from the listed insurers directly and then demand cheaper. Dont even mention GoCompare. Not always true...I was insured with Elephant (on the E36) for the last couple of years....

Re: Insurance quote

Yeah you're definitely right about the NCB, I checked a hypothetical 1 year and 4 year and got figures of £600 and £400 respectively. That was only through one insurer also. Location's fine though (Altrincham, Cheshire)

Re: Insurance quote

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but thought I ought to vent to people who are likely to be sympathetic! I've long wanted an E30 and have just decided that I'll get one in the next year. Before I started looking around I thought I better do some insurance quotes. Agreed value £1,100, 318, 28 yea...

Re:

I like the classic looks, so little or no body mods. But mild improvements to the handling and performance is ok. Mind you, most of that can be done with a good service, decent tires, new brakes and an oil change.
