For Ԛ£4000 I would expect no rust, reasonable mileage, masses of SH.

Basically you should be able to get something thats really really clean.

If your not too clued up on e30's and their problems look through this site and find out as much as possible about them.

No, I was doing a job surveying an old farmhouse out that way and there was a load of lads razzing about. I think one of their old mans is minted and bank rolls them to go to competitions and stuff.

Do a search on here for the word head.
You must be really really careful that the one you have has been serviced properly with new coolant every couple of years.
My sport was fine when I bought it but the coolant was a little rusty. A couple of months later the head went porous. One rebuild and a fortune later and its f***ed again.
Theyre a fantastic car when they run well though. Mine was similar speed in a straight line to my mates UK Impreza and was a joy in the bends.
