No idea what it's worth, but it's a shame you have Hartage extras rather than the more desirable Hartge! :wink:

I'd pay no more than 2k, high mileage and needs bodywork, with bodywork being the main problem, the car looks straight enough though, and with the righ work could make a nice car.

What would you get instead? You're already near the top of the E30 tree....
If you're thinking of leaving the fold then I guess you have options, but you don't want to do that now do you!

Well me and me other half are building a house and it will be 30 miles to and from work every day!

think the fuel will be too expensive, was going to sell the E30 in a couple of months anyway ( but would have got new arches fitted ) and the rest tidyed up!

Will go back to and Astra GTE 16v proberly.......................if I can find a good one!

GTE 16v... i'd love one, but not to replace my e30 i dont reckon. good fun, but chassis isnt as good and the rust issues are 10x worse

will have one one day tho, already had a GSi

30 miles isnt all that far.. gallon a day if your sensible..

Nice car, i would say 1500 - 2000. Purely due to high mileage, and the rust starting to arrive.. Maybe the top end of my estimate.
